I've been trying to write this piece for a better part of a month (yikes) and I've realized that if I keep putting it off, it probably won't ever leave my brain along with so many other things I want to say, so I'm trying to keep on track with being brave. I wasn't even … Continue reading My Truth on Mental Health
I Ran Away to New York City
I have a confession to make. I haven't been doing so well. I've been really struggling with my mental health, with my purpose in life, I've been wondering where I want to be and what I want to do more so than usual. I feel like these are all normal things that so many people … Continue reading I Ran Away to New York City
Coming Out… Again
I'm a firm believer that sexuality is fluid. There's no right answer all the time of what you are, who you love, and what you like is always subject to change. I think that in our society, we are so in love with labels that we get so caught up in them, and then when … Continue reading Coming Out… Again
New (School) Year, New Me
Hey there! It's been awhile, hasn't it? It sure feels like it, anyway. I'd like to be the first to welcome you back to my new and improved blog. I really hope that you like the changes I made! I'm really excited for what I have in store for this blog, along with all the … Continue reading New (School) Year, New Me
Life Is What Happens to Me
The inspiration for this poem came from an exercise I did with my hall's leadership team, which I am a part of. We were doing an activity where we had to listen to statements and respond to them based on a spectrum that was set up. The very first statement was, on one side was … Continue reading Life Is What Happens to Me
How I Found My Home As A Niner
I finished my first week of college! How cool, right? It was a super busy week and truth be told, it's not over yet! My journey to get to this point started long before I could even apply for college. I was a little kid and I was watching all these people around me start … Continue reading How I Found My Home As A Niner
The Power of a Semicolon
I have never been so open about my mental health as I am now that I have my semicolon tattoo. I've talked about my depression to those I'm closed to, those I want to help, and those who need to hear a story that could maybe give them some hope that it does get better. … Continue reading The Power of a Semicolon
Unexpected & Inevitable Change
Going into senior year, I didn't think that by the end of it, this is where I'd be - moving houses while also trying to move across the country, in a serious committed relationship, and moving to the east coast instead of the west. I didn't know what the next 4 years were going to … Continue reading Unexpected & Inevitable Change
Senior Year… Yikes
Oh gosh. When they said that high school flies by, they weren't kidding. It really does feel like just yesterday that I was walking in - late, by the way - on my first day of high school. It's very weird to tell people that I'm a senior because I still feel 12. I get … Continue reading Senior Year… Yikes
Happy Heart: California Day 6
I can’t believe that day 6 was my last full day in California. It feels unreal. This week went by so fast and I’m no where near ready to say goodbye, or even see you later. Over my time here, I’ve just fallen more in love with this state. It’s kind of been a reassurance … Continue reading Happy Heart: California Day 6
