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.

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 […]
DISCLAIMER: I don’t hate Valentine’s Day- this is simply a tribute to how far I’ve come personally and why Vday’s meaning has grown on me. Before I met my current boyfriend, Justin, I almost lost sight of myself so blind in weary that I would stand alone forever. I was the girl with the short-term […]
There isn’t much thought that gets processed in the very instance I see a furry friend in public with his/her owner- I automatically squeal and smile (very few times have I shed a tear.) I have always grown up with dogs in my life, thanks to my gracious parents for that. However, I never would […]
Welcome to my messy, inconsistent, and blessed life. As we approach the new beginning that is 2017… I started to find myself itching to share a glimpse of my life that of which I had always been hesitant to do. The new trend among young, thriving folks is to start a blog and I always admired […]
