Waiting
For a text back. For a callback. For him to admit he was wrong. For you to admit no one has to be correct. Waiting for the day he decides you are more than just “casual.” Waiting for him to knock at your window at three in the morning when all the bars are closed… Continue reading

Soulmates Lost
I remember the girl who jumped over a train with me and came running when I told her I was having suicidal thoughts. And how can I forget the girl who named her care bear after me? To the girl I forced payment out of so that she could be my friend, I am so… Continue reading

Coping
I see the boy who tenses up with anxiety before he pushes someone to the ground. I see the girl who scratches anyone that gets too close to her. I see the smallest boy bite someone’s arm when they take his favorite book away. I see a group of kids fight over attention from the… Continue reading

Caitlin grabbed her sister’s hand as she got off the bus, and they walked home in the rain that started picking up. She picked Sophia up, covered her as best as she could, and ran two blocks home. Caitlin set her down when they got close enough. She noticed a baby blue corvette in their… Continue reading

What She Wrote…
What She Wrote… Dear Adam, I miss you. I’m counting down the days until I get to see you again. Although, I’ve loved writing letters to you like they used to back in the day. Your mom keeps telling people you’re on a work trip, and I guess that’s easier to swallow than the truth.… Continue reading

And They Lived…
Not happily ever after. Not Terribly either. It was somewhere in the mundane middle that seemed to take up most of our lives; the mundane of waking up every morning, working an eight-hour shift, coming home to eat dinner, and getting ready for the next day. Although she has to admit, there is a level… Continue reading

Told as an interview story from the perspective of Mitch and Sonja’s daughter, this story takes readers into the most vulnerable and intimate relationship I’ve read in a… 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.
