Blooming through experience. Memories through adventure.
Spending so much time home alone during the last few months of quarantine has made me reflect on past memories. A lot of those memories have centered around my favorite places- Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Going through pictures and videos takes me back and makes me so emotional and READY to experience the magic [...]
Growing up, I never questioned my sexuality because I thought the only possibilities were straight and gay. I've never been sexually attracted to women, so I never wondered if I was a lesbian or bi. I recently realized that I've never really been sexually attracted to men either. I've only been in one relationship, and [...]
2020 has been a year like no other. I never thought that right when I was starting to spend more time with friends and family that I would then have to social distance from everyone, but here we are. I'm an introvert, so staying alone in my apartment for weeks on end isn't as bad [...]
I've been hurt before. I've felt abandoned by friends and had mean things said about me. I've gone through a lot. But nothing compares to what I've been dealing with the past couple of months (read my short blog here for reference). As I've struggled through this season of life, my first priority was survival.

Even after beginning eating disorder recovery in late 2014, I was still far from loving myself. There were more days where I hated [...]
In November this past year, I booked a last minute trip to Florida to go to Walt Disney World with my sister and her friends! We spent four days in Orlando the weekend before Thanksgiving and it was a ton of fun! Despite the personal struggles I was going through, it was nice to forget [...]
In 2019, my goal was to read 50 books. I kept on track until the end of the year when I had some personal stuff happen, but I still managed to read a total of 42 books. I was stressed at first about not making my goal but my therapist reminded me that reading is [...]
In 2019, I embarked on a challenge I had been seeing around the Internet for a while: record a one second video every day for a year. The end result is a roughly six minute montage of your life- the good, the bad, the boring, and the memorable. I thought this looked cute and had [...]
