Asexual People Belong in Queer Spaces

Asexual People Belong in Queer Spaces

About a year ago, after much soul-searching and reflecting, I came to terms with the fact that I am asexual. Ever since then, pieces of my past that never quite added up made sense. Things that would have previously made me feel alone and excluded now have an explanation. I have a community of people- [...]

My First Three Weeks Living in Scotland

My First Three Weeks Living in Scotland

Early September 2021, I packed my favorite clothes, photos, and books (on my TBR list), said goodbye to my cats (and my family) and moved halfway around the world. From Missouri, USA all the way to Scotland. I'm attending the University of Stirling for a year-long postgraduate program in Publishing. With my program set to [...]

Hot (Vaccinated) Girl Summer Part Two

This summer has been a very busy one! The first part of this blog post, where I talk about my trips to South Carolina and Colorado, can be found here. Following these short trips, I still had a few more fun weekend adventures planned. Between these, I continued working 50 hour-weeks, filling my time off [...]

Hot (Vaccinated) Girl Summer Part One

One of my biggest motivations to get the COVID-19 vaccine was the ability to travel again. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, and so many of my friends live in other states, so I have to fly or drive long hours to see them. The thought of getting on an airplane without [...]

The Art of Romanticizing Your Life

The Art of Romanticizing Your Life

One of my biggest fears is living a completely ordinary, boring, unimportant life. Right now I'm in an "in-between" season of my life. I graduated from undergrad in December 2020, and I start graduate school in September 2021. That leaves nine months to work as much as possible and save money for my next adventure. [...]

Solo Beach Trips are Good for the Soul

Solo Beach Trips are Good for the Soul

I love traveling. Not being able to travel anywhere the past year has been less than ideal, but spending time on my own in my neighborhood has given me the chance to fall in love with myself. I've learned to love spending time alone doing things that make me happy. Recently, I took that self-love [...]

A Year in Review: 2020

What YEAR. 2020. While it was a difficult year world-wide, I had a great year of growth, healing, and self-love. I truly don't recognize the person I was a year ago, and I love who I've become. I feel more like myself than I ever have, and I accomplished so much this year. I adopted [...]

The Best Books I Read This Year: 2020

In 2020, my goal was to read 45 books. I fell behind a little bit because of school, and then quarantine happened. You would think that having nothing to do for months on end would have given me plenty of time to read, but alas, it did not happen. My mental capacity to read was [...]

Two Years of Recording One Second Every Day

Two Years of Recording One Second Every Day

In January 2019, I challenged myself to record one second of my life every single day for a year using the One Second Everyday app. I had seen people do this years beforehand and thought it looked like fun. In 2020, I completed my second full year of this challenge, and I plan on doing [...]
