I need to be a little real with myself right now. It’s okay to have bad days. It’s okay to have days that feel a little heavier than others. It’s okay to feel sad and not entirely understand why. It’s okay to want to want to escape. And today I’m embracing those okays. So if… Continue reading

Hi. I wrote this the other day while at Mozart’s and I really wasn’t planning on sharing it. But then I had a talk with a friend (hey David) yesterday about life changing and it just felt right to post it here. So without further adieu, a raw, unedited thought from yours truly. Sunday, November… Continue reading

Tuesday morning reminder that you matter. You matter. Your words matter. Your small actions matter. A fleeting smile at a stranger can turn their whole day around. And yours, too. Your presence is important. Your life is necessary. It was yesterday, it is today, it will be tomorrow. We all need each other. And you… Continue reading

To be honest, some days are great days. And today was a great day. But to be more honest, some days are exhausting and spirit-lowering. And today was mostly one of those kinds of days. One of those days where things are going right but also wrong.  Maybe I can blame it all on school… Continue reading

Listen, some Fridays it rains. Floods, actually. And teachers cancel some classes and you skip the others. And you hang out with incredible people instead.  And pancakes are attempted. And homemade tortellini is made.  And you’re reminded minute after minute how hilarious and wonderful and unique your friends are. And eventually you go home and… Continue reading

I feel like I’ve written this before, but seeing as this is my small corner of the Internet, I am going to just write about it again until I get it off my chest and a little more organized in my mind. I just feel so… I really don’t know. Like I want to scream… Continue reading
