Bloganuary: Changing the World
How are you changing the world? Woah, this one’s intense. In all honesty, I’m not sure yet. I’m still figuring that out myself. What I do know is that I’m passionate about many issues from women’s rights (especially when it comes to bodily autonomy) to mental health services, children’s rights/care, environmental protection, creating better systems…

Bloganuary: Simple and Sweet
What is on your music playlist right now? Instead of writing about what songs I’m listening to at the moment, I feel this prompt pushing me in a different direction. It’s almost 6 pm for me at the moment and I just got home from an ideal Friday afternoon spent mini-golfing and making memories with…

Bloganuary: Finding Solitude
Growing up as an only child prepared me for being comfortable alone. I was 20 when my baby brother was born so I spent the majority of my life getting used to my own company. This meant that there were few things I loved more than coming home from school to my room and shutting…

Bloganuary: What’s not to love?
What is your favorite part about yourself? I wish we had to ask ourselves this daily. It’s so much easier to pick apart your least favorite features when you’re on the spot, especially since our culture gets off on a little self-deprecation.

Never Alone: A Bloganuary Poem
You don’t need to have groundbreaking ideas every day, but you should find meaning in every moment. Even when poetry is the last thing I can get myself to write, I see it all around me. I see it in the way the power lines on my street look like crosses and in the scent…

Bloganuary Prompt: Let Go
What is your favorite quote and why? “There’s beauty in the breakdown.” From the time I was about ten years old, Imogen Heap’s lyrics have taken life’s most difficult concepts and translated them in a way that makes sense. The quote above is from an electronic group called Frou Frou, and I listened to every…

Bloganuary Prompt: Pear Tree
If you could, what year would you time travel to and why? When time travel comes to mind, I think of moments I’d return to rather than specific dates. I would try on feelings and memories again like an old pair of pants that haven’t fit for many years. Maybe I’d return to when I…

The best-kept secret
Striding toward the sun linked arm in arm, we always dive in headfirst. We’ll make friends with squirrels and fly with birds until it’s time to reset. I’d rather be idle than on the go when he looks so happy here. Because life is simple at its most grand, blessed freedom and mother’s rays.
