I am a believer in things. I am a believer in people. I am a believer in love. I am a believer in the universe. I am a believer that we learn from what the world puts in front of us. I am a believer in change.
I Don’t Enjoy Coffee, But I Know a Good Cup
June 7th 2016
Alright, so I had been thinking about making a post about my sexuality for a long time because I feel like sexuality is not very often discussed when you identify as heterosexual. Heterosexuals seem to have a very “it is what it is” outlook on how they view their own sexuality and they often fail to explore the layers of themselves in order to not challenge their self-assigned label. I, on the other hand, have spent a lot of time truly trying to pin down what exactly I am in terms of a sexual being and have reassigned myself an individual label that I am pretty sure is not an actual term, but for myself it is one:
I am a heterosexual, bi-appreciative (or pan-appreciative) individual.

Nighttime Nostalgia and Drowsy Thoughts
May 15th 2016
It is currently 2:43 AM as I begin this post and the reasons for that are that:
- I lost track of time and somehow ended up being awake this late…or early depending on how you look at it
- My anxiety is going wild right now which is sort of why I’m writing right now
Bruises Heal and People Leave Sometimes
April 16th 2016
Bruises Heal and People Leave Sometimes. I thought of that short phrase as a stared at my bruised knee in the bathroom mirror and noticed how the size had gone down and the color was returning to normal. I had hit my knee into a piece of sound equipment I was loading in for a music festival at school a week ago. The bruise was big and trailed from the top of my knee to the bottom in small blobs of brown, black, purple and blue. It was as though the whole universe, with its galaxies and stars and colors, was shrunken down and put on my knee for me to watch over and protect.
Badasses, Castle Dwellers, and Time Beings
April 10th 2016
Lately I’ve sort have been on a reading kick. I get into these kicks a few times a year where I read a few books then stop reading all together for a really long while until I find a new good book and get flung back into my reading obsession. I’m trying my best to remain consistent with a lot of things including my reading, because I tend to phase in and out of my obsessions with things or even just healthy habits. That’s why this year, I have become determined to stay on track with my reading and read some classic books and novels as well as books I wouldn’t normally think to pick up, in order to broaden my mind a bit and keep it open to new ideas.

#Goals Made Me Hate Myself
April 8th, 2016
The topic of “#goals” and how it has impacted our society is something that has been widely debated and discussed over the past couple of years. So, naturally, being a 21 year old female living in the peak of millennial culture, I thought I would take it upon myself and join the conversation. This is my story of how “#goals” made me hate myself.
Goodbye March, Hello April~
April 3rd 2016
So March has ended and April is back again, hopefully bringing some warmer weather along with it. I figured now would be the best time to take a seat and review my March goals and set some goals for April:
- Try a spin class.
- Go to a unique museum or exhibition
- Take a trip somewhere new, even if it is for just a day
Sandy Feet & Sunsets
March 11th 2016
I spend a little too much time living the life I made up in my head.
I’ve always been the kind of person to get nostalgic while watching the sunset. I feel like sunsets have a way of connecting you to the past, present and future all at once. One sunset can bring me back to a hundred others but also makes me feel so alive in that current moment; like it’s just me and the sky and the universe looking down at me. I have always loved to watch sunsets at the beach because the beach is my favorite place and where I feel most comforted (when it is late and no one is there except me and whichever company I choose to bring along with me).
Golden Hour & Good Books
March 8th 2016
I’m really bad at starting these blog posts out because I never know what to say that doesn’t sound super cheesy and lame…even though I’m a super cheesy and lame person so it is sort of to be expected of me, but you don’t know me that well yet.
Anyway, today I decided to “stop and smell the roses” because I feel like I never really allow myself to slow down too much or for too long.
