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

What if One Day My Memories Fade Away?
Once we were walking by the Denver Public Library, and my father found a disk on the ground titled, Candyland. Thinking it was a children’s film left forgotten, my father picked it up and took it home with us. It took three seconds for him to take it off our DVD player when we realized it was… Continue reading

I’m Gonna Keep Drinking
“I’m going to keep drinking,” I whisper to myself as I inhale another sip of Cosmo. It’s my third one tonight and my stomach is empty. But I’m fine. It’s fine. I feel a headache coming on already from the sugar in this drink. But I haven’t drunk enough to talk freely yet. Is that… Continue reading

Iceberg
When I woke up Jake was still asleep. I was kind of glad, I didn’t want to talk to him. I didn’t know how to talk to him anymore. I planned on going to the store today and then doing whatever else for many hours just so I wouldn’t have to be here. I went… Continue reading

Selfish
I wear your boxers to bed sometimes, so you’ll think of me every time you get dressed. When we’re watching a show, I make remarks so you won’t be able to watch them without a memory of me. I hate cooking, but I hate cooking for men even more. There’s only my mother to blame… Continue reading

Spiritual Doubt
As damaging as it is for parents to stay in an unhealthy relationship, it is equally damaging for children to witness their parents falling out of love. It’s never really a surprise for anyone if you pay attention, and as a ten year old I noticed things weren’t going well with mom and dad. First,… 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.
