Our entire lives are dictated by which battles we choose. Each of us decides what is worth our time, what arguments are worth having, what people we want to hold on to, what type of love we deserve, when enough is enough and when the fight is crucial to the truth within ourselves...and that's not...

Sunday Funday
Sundays are my favorite. In my world, Sunday is a day to reflect, watch football or Game of Thrones depending on the time of year, rejuvinate for the upcoming week and dabble into the occasional bottomless mimosa. Growing up, Sundays were like unofficial bonding days. After church, we would stop at the bakery on the... Continue Reading →
What a Girl Wants
What do you want? What are you looking for? These are both valid questions that I have a very hard time responding to with direct answers...or answers that make a tiny speck of sense. Now maybe this is because I'm a Cancer and my mind runs at Olympic speed at all hours of the... Continue Reading →
Birthrights & Braids
I've developed a serious obsession with the Middle Ages. This goes beyond Shakespeare, which we all know holds an atrium in my heart. Maybe it's because I'm having serious Game of Thrones withdrawals or maybe it's because I'm doing whatever I can do to avoid the fact that chokers and platform shoes are trying to...

StarCrossed
As you get older, things get more complicated...and by things I mean everything. There's a huge difference between the stress of who you're going to pick to be on your red rover team and who you're going to choose to be in your wedding party. There's the crumpled five dollar bill you chase an ice... Continue Reading →
Perfect Illusion
I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in awhile the other day and the first thing he said was, "You always look like you're so happy!" (He follows my social media) I smiled but inwardly was thinking I'm glad it looks that way because it doesn't feel that way. I looked through my instagram... Continue Reading →
Seat Taken
There are people out there who don't like me. Crazy right? (Kidding) We all have our haters. I consider myself a fairly mature adult and there is still drama in my life and surrounding me that is comparable to kindergarten playground showdowns. Call me a fool, but I had some magical notion that people would... Continue Reading →
Powergrid
WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. This does not only apply to Spider-Man. This is not only for superheroes, CEOs, politicians and the suits of Wall Street. This is for each and every one of us because power is simply the ability to do something. Power isn't exclusive or classified. Power isn't always a gavel,... Continue Reading →
Somebody I used to Know
It's always extremely humbling when something you were so sure about doesn't go according to plan. Whether it's a game, an audition or a relationship, it's never a good feeling to be wrong. It's like wearing the losing team's jersey long after the game is over. Everyone knows things didn't exactly go your way which,... Continue Reading →
The City of Angels
I bought a one way ticket to LA. No job. No place to live. Just a plane ticket and an overweight suitcase. I don't always make rash decisions but when I do, I'm a maniac. I have now been in LA for over 6 years. It's the longest I've ever had the same address in my... Continue Reading →
