There’s an idiom I used to bask in the glory of saying. “This is where the rubber meets the road.” It was like a testament to everything I felt qualified and bound to do. But now, my wheels are turning, and the rubber feels rough against the pavement to which I’m traveling. This is my [...]
Just when I think I have nothing left to say...I remember one more statement I forgot to make. I've been thinking maybe life will always work that way, leaving me to wonder about this idea of "more." Questions I've had about what more I could say trickled into what more I should do. Now I [...]
What is about seeing a place I know I shouldn’t be that makes me want to go there? I imagine this as the opening line to the book that I may never get around to write. The one where I expose my every weakness page after page. Hoping that somehow my words will reach someone [...]
I'm 16 all over again as I scan the overcrowded yet disorderly organized walls of my dad's workshop, wondering if there's anything I could give him that he hasn't already gotten for himself. He told me he didn't want anything, but ever since I can remember, he's instilled in me the importance of gratitude. So [...]

So, fun fact(s) about me ; I love fun facts but not on command. I enjoy using nature in metaphors.(Almost) every month I submit an entry in the Challenge of the Month on Prose.

Driven by emotion I’ve learned how the circumstances we find ourselves in today may seem to call for a complete do over but here are a few tips to consider before leaving where you are for where you think you should be.
“Here I am again,” I thought as I looked out from my rooftop to the view of the newest city I’d eventually have to call home, this was my third time moving across state lines since graduating high school in 2010. Here I am again, not physically but mentally I continued my train of thought, [...]
Spring has sprung and I’m ready for something fresh. I have to admit, my favorite part about this blog has been the process of capturing photos of my experiences and writing the narrative of them through my eyes. Unfortunately, as I switch gears in order to refresh, I realized there are a few I favor but may never define. Here is the over due dedicated post to ones that got left behind.
