Naturally, two of the strongest things in life are love + fear. I used to let fear be stronger and I used to overlap the two heavily. As I’m going through life, it’s starting to click that some people hold onto fear more. Fear of anything, not just love. Fear that tomorrow won’t come. Fear […]
Happy 2018!! I love the beginning of a new year. Even though it’s just another month, I like to view it as a clean slate. New opportunities and so many new adventures to come. I will be starting school this month (thank god) at Cal State Fullerton studying english! While it was nice not having […]
There are places that hold memories and friendships and all the things we can’t buy- this is one of those places to me. Growing up, we camped…. a lot. I definitely had mixed feelings about it as I went through different stages of life and enjoyed keeping to myself a lot of the time. I […]
Having only a few weeks left of 2017, I thought I would reflect on my past year. There hasn’t been a point in my life where I felt I finally understood why some people are the way they are, why things just don’t work out sometimes and why appreciating the little things are sometimes all […]
Alright, a few things we need to get straight before we move into this one. First, I’ve been avoiding this post for as long as I can and I finally just need to get it out there. Second, I say journey in the title because I am far from any sort of destination in this area. I […]

As you can tell by my title, I’m in dire need of something that only exists in an alternate reality. Growing up and realizing that I have awful time management and money management skills has hit me like a ton of bricks lately. When I’m rushing from one job to the next, changing in my car and […]
Every great story has a few low points, a surprising twist and the most interesting ending. I liked to look at life as one big story. The low points as just a small part of the story, because when everything starts to go right, the low points only make the good parts better. When making […]
The whole world watches, waiting for you to fail. But prevailing through the setbacks and pushing through the hardest times, that is when sparks fly. Recently, I’ve been tossing and turning and wondering why I can’t just have a map of my life planned out in front of me so I didn’t have to […]
An open letter to those in doubt: I didn’t know what being mistreated by a person could do to my fragile state of self. I didn’t know just getting by in my classes would follow me to college and haunt my progression. I didn’t know being questioned for who I was and who I had […]
