I really want to emphasize something before I get too ahead of myself with these posts and also my life. Not only am I young enough to not have life figured out, but I’m human enough to admit I rarely actually have my shit together. Today I was informed that I did not get into […]
Every time I think of the general idea of “life” I think of a collective period of time. I’ve always been that way and every time I think of the future I also just think it’s one big blob of time. What I’ve come to realize is that life is collectively strung together by days. Today, […]
A lot of the time I find myself reflecting on how I got here- to being the type of person who writes a blog and to have some people actually read it. This post is for myself in high school. The girl who wasn’t really good at anything in school and who just barely got […]
You cannot help everyone. You cannot solve every problem and conquer every battle that comes barreling your way. There’s a reason for everything and there’s motive in the madness. Today, I don’t have a directional post. Meaning, this one isn’t about serving or social media or anything really specific for that matter. This blog is […]
This is an open letter to anyone who has ever yelled at me about a salad, told me I was incompetent because their beer took too long to be poured and under tipped me because they didn’t enjoy their meal. We are the servers. The people who eat dinner at 11:00 at night. The people […]
So, instead of my usual posts about life and my take on certain aspects of it, I decided to share a piece that I wrote last semester to read in front of my creative writing class. I want to make my blog honest, passionate, different and most of all- most of me. This poem is […]
For years I felt like there was this second side to me. There was my normal side, the side I showed everyone and the girl I liked. I was fine with that side of myself. However, when everything got quiet or I had some down time, I felt this urge to release my creative side. I’m not […]
It’s all ironic and yet it’s not. How life connects, how sometimes it doesn’t make sense. There are moments of clarity, when all the dots connect and everything makes sense. There is truth to the rough patches and lies to the plans we thought we made. I constantly remind myself that if something isn’t going […]
So, I’m starting to get the impression from my own posts so far that on the outside it looks like I have this solid outlook on life and that everything is perfect for me. WELL, when I started this blog, not only did I want to do it for me & me alone, I always […]
Today in a nutshell: people with cell phones in their back pockets discussing how other people today are so mesmerized by social media and technology that they are missing out on real world substance. While I fully understand both sides of this never ending debate we can’t seem to escape, I’d like to shed some […]
