Where lots of doors keep closing, some doors stay open But it hurts that you keep using my heart as a doorstop, leaving me heartbroken. I can’t tell if I’m just being ungrateful or if my anger has a place But I think we can both agree that honesty wins over saving face. I’ve never…

2018, a Year of Dream
“Dream” was my word for 2018 and, per usual, it did NOT show up in the way I expected, but it showed up nonetheless and it changed me for the better. Right away in January I saw it show up when I walked out of acting class with tears in my eyes. I let the…

22 Years
22. Years of life that can’t be boiled down to the chorus of a Taylor Swift song (though I will say, happy birthday Taylor, I am honored to be your birthday twin). 2 is my favorite number so I’m claiming this year as one for the books. I had the idea to write about 22 things…

Lessons from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood
The other day I watched the documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” about Fred Rogers, from the self-titled children’s show on PBS, “Mister Rogers Neighborhood.” It was a beautiful film, overflowing with kindness and goodness.

Another One Bites the Dust
As many of you know, after an arduous application process and multiple interviews, I’ve been waiting for the past few months to find out if I would be accepted into the Disney College Program– an internship that would greatly help me with many of my academic and career goals while simultaenously allowing me to live…

Teach Me to Love
For one of my school courses, I’m reading a book titled “Sacred Marriage” by Gary Thomas. My professor and his wife (who teach the class together) have mentored hundreds of couples and hosted countless marriage retreats across the globe. In all of this, they say that this book is the best book relating to spirituality…

First Fail
So, at the end of my last post, I mentioned that I was going to share about one of the ways that I have already epically failed this year and I would like to honor that by taking some time to do just that– I can’t say that it’s a terribly interesting story, but it…
