I am kinda at a loss for finding what to say in such a time as this. What do you say to a year that took 1.8 million from a virus, a year that took forests and cancer victims and the health of millions, a year that personified the incapacity of the people we elect [...]
I have this Post-It note above my desk that reads “be flexible and take a deep breath.” And it’s funny, because no matter how many times I catch a glimpse of this reminder stuck to my wall, I am surprised by it’s message each time. Learning how to put my big girl pants on and [...]
Much like the way I approached senior year, this post is late. But I realized that the past year has been one of the most influential that I've had, so I ought to give it the attention it deserves. So, here is what I learned my senior year of high school (and June 2020). Dream [...]
I think these super weird times have kinda leveled us in many ways. None of us can pretend like we have it together anymore, like we do cool things constantly, or like we are living very cool lives because if you are doing any of those things you look stupid and need to stop doing [...]
In July I sat down to say that life was in the process of changing and I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with that information. Life is still changing, except now I am even more unsure of what I want to do about it. So, that’s that. Here is a quick recap [...]

I learned a lot this past year. I mean, I learned a lot sophomore year, and freshman year, but I learned a lot this year. They weren’t kidding when they said junior year was hard. I was confused a lot. But through all of that I managed to come out on top, I guess. High [...]
I find that there is no beauty without tension, however hard tension is to push through. I find mornings to forever be the holiest, but it’s a good idea to keep the evenings long. I find the idea of growing up to be much prettier than the act itself. I find that individual exhaustion is [...]
Turns out it actually took me another four months to recuperate. I know I said I was gonna do this again. I lied. But I am here now. And I think I am ready. I am finally excited again. I think that is what I was missing-- the bursting at the seams feeling, but more [...]
Hello. Here I am again. It’s been a while. I would be lying if I said I missed you, but I would also be lying if I said I didn’t. When I last posted in August, I was a little burnt out. And by a little, I mean a lot. I think it was healthy [...]
beauty of the mess
