A Mild Rant
I want to research how detrimental it is to call someone stupid. For now, I’ll write everything I think is damaging and why it’s not that people are stupid, it’s just that they lack the knowledge others have. The idea of public school is still a relatively new concept, one that is not available in… Continue reading

Martha Gellhorn Appreciation Post

RIP to All the Foods I Can’t Eat because of hang overs or Food Poisoning.
I skipped last week’s post because I wanted to take a break for the holidays. Writing today only confirms how stressful it is to write this time of year. That’s why I write something fun and silly now. So here it goes, foods I may never eat again: Powdered doughnuts. This was caused by food… 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.
