About what sandra thinks

Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.

Dear Z, You’re a stupid letter and I’m not going to write to a fucking zebra. Love, p.s. — To my readers: Yeah, I totally gave up. But I guess this post still counts as me ‘completing’ the A to … Continue reading →

Posted on 29 April 2020 by what sandra thinks

Hey You, I always feel like I’m repeating myself when I write to you. I tell you how much I appreciate you, need you, wish you were here. I tell you that I wonder why the hell you want to … Continue reading →

Posted on 28 April 2020 by what sandra thinks

Dear Xanax, I guess it’s probably inappropriate to write to you. Or at least weird. But there are a few factors at play here. First, you are the only thing I could think of that starts with the letter X … Continue reading →

Posted on 27 April 2020 by what sandra thinks

Dear Work Friends, I’m sure you think I’m a total bitch. I don’t blame you… not really. After all, I’m still on the group text where you arrange that gathering every summer, but I never say a word. Maybe you … Continue reading →
