  • “Hate is too strong an emotion to waste on someone you don’t like.”

    “Hate is too strong an emotion to waste on someone you don’t like.”

    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

  • Some of them want to be abused

    Some of them want to be abused

    Maybe I crave chaos so much that I create it. Maybe, I’m afraid of the unremarkable daily life becoming never-ending. Is it possible I have somehow convinced myself that I can never be happy? It would explain why I mess up everything around me when things are good. The longer I work the 9 to… Continue reading

  • Girls

    Girls

    She looked at her from across the bar and Ali felt herself blush. She had long dark hair and sharp features. She wasn’t just beautiful, she moved with such grace and mesmerizing poise.  She sits with her head against the wall and her knees up to support the hardcover book she’s reading. Her eyes follow… Continue reading

  • What She Wrote…

    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…

    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?

    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

  • Never Knew the Feeling of a Stable Home

    Never Knew the Feeling of a Stable Home

    I never knew the feeling of a stable home. Moving here and there, never staying long. I learned how to pack my life up in less than an hour. All that mattered, all I cared about taking were my books and hand-me-down clothes.  When you learn to pack up your life that quickly, you also… Continue reading

    Secretos

    The silence was the only thing Diana heard going back into the house. She Walked into the living room and everyone was sitting quietly. Alison was biting her nails, Jade was twirling her hair, and Lily was staring intently at a spot on her shorts. Her little brother was off somewhere, probably hanging out with… Continue reading

  • Don’t Forget to Breathe

  • She

    She

    She was elegant in her deception.  Without warning, she’ll make you her possession. Her smile was brighter than the greatest star in the galaxy.  Don’t let this fool you, everything she says is a fallacy.  When she kisses you, it’ll feel like a dream.  Don’t forget, she’ll never be on your team.  She’ll spoil you… 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.
