It ends with love

Spring has Sprung
Well so much for me writing weekly updates in 2023. I guess somethings just don’t change. I had to sort out a lot emotionally at the beginning of this year if I am honest. I took my first trip outside of China in January, and it was a lot. I was still recovering from Covid,… Continue reading

Mississippi Chevy
A country song comes on and I flashback to nights in your old red chevy truck. The breeze on my face feels like that warm Mississippi air. A smile comes to my face. I think of you. And me. Who I used to be. I’m not longing for you, rather I’m longing for that young… Continue reading

Bus Stop Blues
It was a cold morning. Not the frozen winter kind of cold. But the turn of the season, end of October cold. She was slouched down with her back against the wall and her head in her knees crying. Many mornings were spent like this back then, but no one really knew. She was wearing… Continue reading

It’s been a long while since I shared or wrote anything. I keep meaning to write- but I haven’t felt inspired.

It makes sense, right? I mean think about your group of friends, the people you spend the most time… Continue reading

Get going, Keep growing
Hey guys, guess what? We made it through the first month of 2018, can you believe it? How are you doing on those New Year Resolutions so far? How many of you have already broken your resolutions? Don’t feel bad, it’s absurd to think that on January 1st we are going to be totally different… Continue reading

Let’s talk about Faith
This past Sunday as I was getting ready for church, and without much thought I put on one of my favorite bracelets that friend gave to me. The bracelet had pearls, and the word Faith in the center. Little do I know, the church service that morning was going to center around faith. Which makes… Continue reading

If Tina Fey and Amy Poehler had a kid…
It would be me. Or at least that’s what I tell myself. I like to think I’m funny like them. Just as awkward. Confident in who I am. But really, I’m just a 26 year old Midwesterner living below the Mason Dixie line trying to travel the world on a teacher salary. How does someone… Continue reading
About Me
Just your normal millennial trying to make it in this world. I love going to new cities, eating new foods and meeting new people- but I usually prefer the company of my cats. I’m inviting you to come laugh, cry, travel and eat with me on the crazy ride we call adulthood.
