“…that of being.”
Lately I’ve felt like I’ve been hearing too much of “Wake up early and get shit done” “Stop wasting time,” “Don’t wait, act now,” “Do more everyday to get closer to your dream!” And while I think that there is a time and placed to get shit done, jump on opportunities and live life to…

this is what we “get.”
There’s nothing left for us to say or do. There’s no going back to those days where we could be carefree with our words. Now all we have is our memories and thoughts we “get” to keep to ourselves. I understood the issue, but I thought the issue was resolved. I thought we were adults…

24 things to be thankful for!
As I celebrate my 24th birthday, I wanted to reflect on my 23rd year, and jot down 24 things to be thankful for, as I am now 24 years old! (Crazy!) 23 was such a good year, and I’m pretty sad that it’s over. I’m mainly sad because I can’t fully jam to my favorite…

It’s been a while!
Whew! It’s been a long time since I’ve written in my journal, in a blog (published one, anyway) or at all! I feel like the main reason I write, is because I don’t want to forget. So in these past 6 months where so much has happened, I wish I was writing through the whole…

Reflection & Farewell to Tennessee.
Tennessee. The second and final part to our adventure in the Army. Though the scenery has not been nearly as beautiful as Washingtons, our adventure here became greater than I could have imagined. So much has happened here, and I can’t help but be so thankful that we left Washington (as much as it pains…

What’s my age again? 23rd Birthday!
I’ve been waiting a long time to jam to this song on my 23rd birthday! And be able to say (until my 24th birthday) that NOBODY LIKES YOU WHEN YOU’RE 23! And if you happen to not know what I’m referring too…Google is calling your name. In anticipation of this birthday, I’ve been thinking a…

untitled 3/25/17
Why is it that I fear your return? Maybe fear isn’t the right word. Besides completely ecstatic, there is something else that I feel. A feeling much deeper than nervous. A feeling much stronger than relief. Definitely confused about the collision and connection of time, love, and feelings in all of this. From the moment…

Back to me.
It’s raining there because it’s time for you to leave. The rain is trying to wash you out. I wish it were that simple. I wish the rain would carry you back to me. I wish it would wash away the misery you’ve endured there, as well as my misery from being away from you.…

The way I fiercely love you.
I could fill hundreds of notebooks with words about you. If I didn’t know any better I would tell everyone I meet who you are and how much I deeply love you and miss you. And a better person would try to empathize with me. And they would tell me that they understand and then…

November 2nd.
I walked out the front door today and everything felt different. The leaves on ground weren’t bright or vibrant the way they were yesterday. The neighbors houses looked empty. The streets looked lonely. It’s like everyone else had finally realized that you were gone, and maybe I finally realized it too. As if they love…
