What if you stayed?
Dear Dad, It’s been 13 years.I think of all the days, months, and yearsAnd the silence that’s been left behind. I read your old messages, your written words,never quite realizing how much you hurt. You once said:“I think depression is more painful than my back pain ever was.” Reading that now,I understand that pain more Continue reading

The Wanderer
I have traveled near and far searching for a fire to thaw what’s frozen inside I’ve been lost in bustling cities and escaped to tranquil valleys Only to feel further and further adrift Crowded streets and silents forests Seeking a touch, a glance, a whisper To fill the chasm within Countless faces and unfamiliar faces Continue reading

Echoes of Survival
I wake up gasping for air because I forgot how to breath. I go through the day hand clasped over my chest trying to slow it’s beat. Tears stain my cheeks as I smile through the agony, Longing to be held longing to let go. My thoughts are haunted with pain from the past. Everywhere Continue reading

The Hairbrush
It’s been a long while since I shared or wrote anything. I keep meaning to write- but I haven’t felt inspired. I have distracted myself with Netflix and Hulu because I really didn’t want to face myself again. But here I am – back for today. I decided to go through some of my drafts Continue reading

My “WHY” in China
It’s hard for me to put into words all the things I have experienced these last 4 months. To be honest, moving here has probably been the most challenging thing I’ve done in a long time. It’s not easy, and I do recall people telling me that it wouldn’t be easy. But I did it Continue reading

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?

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.
