On friendship, and why it’s okay to walk away

As a true introvert, making friends is and always has been hard for me. From an early age, I have dealt with what I now know is social anxiety, but for many years I figured was just my own awkwardness. The first time I can remember noticing this feeling was around age 9. That year, […]

It’s been a while

I haven’t sat down in quite some time just to write. Well, I guess that’s not fully true. I have sat down many times to write. I’ve typed and deleted and typed more and deleted more. Nothing quite sounding right. But I’ve been feeling something inside of me lately. Something that I want to put […]

A new generation //

Like glass, shattered. Like paper, torn. Like bones, fractured. This is the state of our Nation.

2017: year of growth

2017 has been, simultaneously, one of the best and worst years of my life. I have not had many words this year to describe all of my many feelings. While I have continued to write and share, there are so many more thoughts bottled up, compiling in my head, that I cannot seem to get […]
