a place to think differently
I have been trying to define myself all my life. There is one way that I want people to see me and it includes multiple facets, yet I fail at this all the time when leaving behind what I feel is my definition. For example, I came across the “List your Favorite Bands” page in... Continue Reading →
As I enter this phase of life where I will become a mom/parent, there are so many things that people do that I simply, will not. I want to preface this entire blog by saying: Please don't be offended by ANYTHING in it and don't read too much into either. This is simply another element... Continue Reading →
Life is complicated. And it only gets more and more complicated as we navigate and discover more ideas and experiences. I've had many exchanges with people lately and seen multiple memes about how being an adult......just sucks. I think this sentiment is always in sheer comparison to the perception we all had of adulthood through... Continue Reading →
Symbols have always been incredibly important to me. I think it's my main draw to most jewelry and many things I have kept over the years.

What's in a word? From my perspective, a lot. I hear a lot of various exclamations throughout the day, face to face, on social media, and throughout my life. That being said, a lot of these sayings, terms of endearment, and phrases bother me. I'm always thinking twice about them. Let's start with the overuse... Continue Reading →
My whole life, I've resolved that I would be a part of a group of friends that was convincingly, yet nauseatingly, close. Growing up, the television shows I watched painted a picture of what friends could be for me. I imagine it was similar to the picture Disney painted for romantic relationships that many other...

“There are no second acts in America.” –F. Scott Fitzgerald Since I’ve left Dallas, I’ve been thinking about regret and experience and what the difference is. I imagine they can be one and the same but “experience” just has a positive connotation where the word “regret” can be doused with guilt and unresolved feelings about... Continue Reading →
