Writing Freely From the Heart
At dusk, when the neighbors’ lights turn on, you can hear football in the living room and smell dinner on the table. They’re laughing about something you’ll never know, but it feels like you’re there. I take comfort in walking past the intimate moments of someone else’s life. It’s like I’m home even when I…

The Price of Success: An Honest Reflection on Achievement
Is there a word for always falling short of extraordinary? When you’re pretty, but not the most beautiful person in the room. When your art is nice, but not timeless. Is there a word for that? Jack of all trades, master of none. That’s kind of what I mean, but it’s missing the feeling of…

A Look Inside My Grimoire
A Piece of Me From my insides you will find a tenderness so sweet it rots the marrow of my bones. Saudades for all that was and all that could be, Tendons full of music, bursting, waiting to dance. I can feel your heart. I can see your spirit. When the wind cries, when the…

Bloganuary: Look at the stars…
“…look how they shine for you. And everything you do…” I’ve always been enamored with the sky. I’ve looked up to the stars and to the moon for answers in moments of crisis and felt held by the infiniteness of our universe more times than I can count. I think of the stars as a…

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. Comedians are so good at this, it’s like hating yourself is part of…

Bloganuary Prompt: What Makes Me Strong
This is one of those prompts that feels so important that I can’t seem to find the words to respond honestly. At first, I started writing about specific things that give me strength but it felt like a BuzzFeed list. These are tough to narrow down, but I like the challenge. One of the first…
