Life’s a Movie…
and We’re Just Living It.
A Passion for Creating
I’ve always loved writing and being creative but have always struggled with pinpointing what to share. Then I realized, why should I? I’m a little random and this blog reflects that. Here’s what you can expect:
Stories From My Life
I’m just a girl living life who loves to write and share my experiences (as funny as they may be) with you.
Fiction – Short Stories
I studied English / Creative Writing in college and have a soft spot for short stories, so I thought it was time I shared some.
Poems
I always thought poetry was a bit pretentious, until I fell in love with capturing a feeling with so few words.
Random Thoughts
There’s a lot going on in this brain, from deep introspective thoughts to bizarre meaningless ones. Get ready.
Inspiration
As cheesy as it sounds, I find inspiration in the everyday moments. Follow along to find out what inspires me on any given day.
Quotes
I write down memorable things in my phone and have a running list for every month, mostly containing quotes and funny circumstances from those around me.

The Night Owl’s Work
Since turning 27, I’ve been trying to build better habits, but it’s been harder than I expected. I’ve never been a morning person, and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever mastered a real nighttime routine either. Most nights I tell myself I’ll go to bed early, and most mornings I’m annoyed that I didn’t. But…

Here, For Now
It’s a strange thing to want more from a life you already love. Right now, I feel the most confident, happy, and content I’ve probably ever felt. I thought turning 27 would stress me out more than it has, but instead, I feel at peace with the life I’ve made. I’ve surrounded myself with people…

Actions Speak, Words Echo
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about integrity. We’ve all been there, let down by words that never turned into actions. Promises that floated in the air, only to disappear like smoke. Still, we hold onto them (at least try to) because they meant something, even if only for a moment. And when they’re broken,…

Shell Shocked
It’s been ten years. Ten years since my life changed forever. You know that your time is limited on this earth, but you never think the day will come until it does. When you’re younger, you always joke about who you hope will go first, but she really meant it. The husbands never outlive their…

A Girl’s Best Friend
I wish I could bottle up a feeling. Not the fireworks kind — not adrenaline or heartbreak or euphoria — but the quieter kind. The one you get when your dog looks at you like you’re the only thing that matters. It’s not dramatic. It doesn’t need to be. But it’s real. It’s pure. And…

Becoming in the In-Between
I was listening to what felt like my very own personal podcast—aka a voice memo from one of my best friends from back home. She was responding to a video I sent her, where I admitted I was feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and just… down. You know, the way we all do sometimes. Her response shifted…

The Lie of Time
We always think we have more time, or maybe that’s just me. Until one day we run out of it. We live in our bubbles, thinking the world can’t touch us until it swallows us whole without warning. There’s always time to ask for that promotion. I’ll just wait one more week to prepare thoroughly.…

A Favorite Place
The gravel crumbles under the weight of my boot. Dust fills the air, until the wind sweeps it somewhere else. A light breeze rustles the leaves, breaking some free to find a new home on their own. Flies dart in and out of view, always nearby. I can smell the damp grass and the fresh…

Sweet Dreams
We all have that one room. The one where when you were a child, you never thought it would change. This room would be forever, even with all the paint jobs and furniture rearrangements. It morphed and grew as you did. A space that holds familiarity and stretches with you. One day lime green coats…
“What am I doing with my life,” she sighed to herself.
“Growing,” he responded.
