Till It Happens To You…
We’ve read the post-apocalyptic stories. We’ve seen the futuristic movies of life generations from now. We read the news that is right at out fingertips. And yet, we continue to ignore it. Or better yet, we like to imagine its happening somewhere else. I read a historical fiction recently about a civil war in Chile… Continue reading

Bite My Tongue
The green velvet couch fills up with people before I have a chance to finish my drink. I look down at my hands and pick at the skin around my fingernails to avoid conversation. I listen to what the voices are saying, but I don’t know how to respond. If I smile enough, laugh, and… Continue reading

Favorite Book This Month
The House of Spirits made it on my list because of the magical realism in it. It starts with a character named Rosa, who was too beautiful for this world. She was born with green hair and yellow eyes, with skin so white and fragile they described her as a porcelain doll. Not long into… Continue reading

Wandering
The thin piece of paper I hold precariously in my hands says I graduated on May 9th of 2020. That is not true. That day I woke up in a new home with trash bags filled with crap we brought with us from the place we used to live. We moved to the city… Continue reading

Change
I do not know about you, but it’s hard for me to adjust to something new. Last week I started a new job. I had a panic attack the night before. Everything would change once I started my job, and it freaked me out. I was so used to living life inside with my pet… Continue reading

If this doesn’t resonate with you, I’m happy for you. If it does, keep reading, I hope you find comfort and company in my words. Take a… Continue reading

Opinions
“Let me warn you, you who are thirsty for knowledge, against the thicket of opinions and the conflict of words. Opinions mean nothing; they may be beautiful or ugly, clever or foolish, anyone can embrace or reject them.” -Hermann Hesse Opinions do not mean anything in the sense that there is more emotion than logic… Continue reading

Influence
My head bobs side to side to the rhythm of the music. The more I drink the less I think about my anxiety. At some point, I don’t feel anxious at all. The cool drink slides down my throat again And again And again. I don’t smoke cigarettes, but a few puffs keep… Continue reading

22 Things I’ve Learned About Skincare
I didn’t want to write a typical (things I’ve learned in 22 years) because there’s still so much I haven’t experienced, still, so much I haven’t learned that it seemed pointless to try. So instead I thought it would be fun to write a skincare blog today, even though I am NOT a skincare expert!… Continue reading

Introvert Thoughts
It’s hard for me to say what I’m thinking because as authors we are told that first thoughts are always flawed and need to be reviewed and revised. It’s why I overthink everything I say the first time, it’s hardly ever what I meant to say and sometimes it’s okay. Although often my spoken word… Continue reading
About Me
Hi there! I’m thrilled to have you join me on my blog. I write fiction, nonfiction, and everything in between.
In my free time, I like to keep busy with a variety of hobbies. I’m an avid reader and writer, I love to knit, crochet, and embroider.
At the end of the day, though, my main priority is spending time with my loved ones. Whether it’s traveling or just spending quality time together, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by those I care about.
