What follows is a very rough, unedited blurb of a stream-of-consciousness writing from my journal. Enjoy. She walked through a patch of grass ankle deep into the pine forests. Around her, the smell of daffodils and pollen swept through the air. All around green trees stood proudly in the earth. Her...
daydreams
meditative moments
What follows are short bursts from my journal from this past week spent in Greece: “The air is soft and warm. Like every breath is a sip of milk and honey.””The black sand beach scorches the skin beneath my feet before the cold clear water offers its calming relief....
letters to myself
Today is my 19th birthday and the start of my Creative 19th year. This year is going to be all about personal creativity, self-expression and making tangible creative material. I’m going to do this by posting something creative or passionate on my blog every day (don’t hold me to that,...

nights like this
It seems so romantic, nights like this. Spent cooped up in a dark room losing track of how many episodes we’ve watched. The screen projected 5 feet high onto the blank wall beside the bed. Only breaking to devour copious amounts of vegan sushi washed down with a bottle...
