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 [...]
Edit: Hello! After much reflection and thought, I've realized that I'm not demisexual, I'm actually asexual. I have never experienced sexual attraction, I just thought I had and told myself I had. I am leaving this blog post up however, and I haven't changed any of the text, because it is important to understand different [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
