Humanity’s Trigger Words

I think I’ve found two phrases that trigger pain in everyone– “Too much,” and “Not enough.” I’m scared of being too much for you but also not enough. And scared that I find life too fascinating but what if I’m not fascinated by it enough? What if I love you too deeply? But what if…

“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 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…

One reason I was born is to tell stories. I know it, deep in my bones, and I hope to honor that calling for the rest of my life by using various mediums to tell a wide variety of stories. For a while now I’ve dreamed of telling some stories through series of pictures &…

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. Interestingly enough though, the moments that stuck with me most were the hateful parts. Funny how life does that, huh?…

We Built a Shelter: My Story

The following is an introduction to a short story I wrote about processing the last few years of my life to help make sense of where I am now. If you’d like to skip straight to the story, start below the horizontal line. Enjoy! I tried my best to be as realistic as possible about…

My Bed Against the Wall

I’ve always been really sensitive to the way places are designed and how they make me feel. It was only natural then that this last time I moved I began looking into feng shui. “Maybe there’s something to it,” I thought, with little knowledge of what feng shui is, other than the fact that it’s…

Since graduating college so far I’ve been able to learn so much about myself and it has been an incredible journey. I won’t even try to pretend it has been an easy journey because it was not in the slightest, but the things I’ve been learning about myself are so exciting that it makes the…

Home Should Be Where the Heart Is

This is a poem I wrote in 6th grade that I found while rummaging through some old things. The colorful, (originally) three page, comic sans piece was one in a series I had written for school and it’s specifically meaningful to me because my teacher’s feedback would go on to keep me writing. She told me…
