You ever have one of those weeks? Where it just seems like nothing can go right? Yeah–been there done that. My last five days have put me...

I grabbed a 375 degree pan last week. With my bare hands. Not my brightest move. It happened so fast and I was distracted and hungry and...

I really like having long hair. It took me a while to convince myself that I deserved it though. It sounds silly, I know, but I had this...

Pain is unavoidable. Starting this off on a happy note, I know; but I’ve been pondering pain recently. A few weeks ago, I was talking to...

Sometimes all you need is a good cry. I don’t really like crying, but it can help an awful lot. Yesterday was tough. My mind was racing...

I want to rest. Desperately. I’m craving it. So, I thought I would talk about it today. A few months ago, I painted this little...

I’m sick. Yuck! In light of this, I thought it would be fitting to share a little poem; I hope this reminds you all (and myself) of the...

If you're new here, I'll let you in on a little secret: I like to paint... And this week's post is a bit different. Here's a watercolor...

I moved. Two days ago. A two hour drive, with two cars packed full of stuff, to an apartment I’ll be staying in for the next two months,...

I took this picture minutes after a severe (and I mean, severe) rain storm. The sky was ashen and the air went frigid. As we were driving...

Two weeks ago I did something that had the potential of being the stupidest thing I’ve ever done. And let me preface this by saying that,...

Words are fun. I’ve always liked words. (Pretty obvious—I am a writer, right?) I love the way they look, sound, impact thoughts and...

I had to go to the dentist yesterday. I didn’t like it. I never really like visiting that particular place. Now don’t get me wrong, I...

I've been taking a trip down memory lane recently, and you know what I realized? It's been two years. Two years of fear and masks and...

A lot’s happened in the past week. I finished my finals, which also means I’ve completed my last full semester of college. I also went on...

Sometimes I don’t know what to write about. I really don’t. All I can do is look outside, searching for inspiration in the creation...
