Hello fam! I would say that it's been a minute since we last met up here, but you already know this. And as much as I love you all and this corner of the internet that we have eeked out, it's important to keep it in perspective and to respect that I need time to … Continue reading Miles To Go: The girl behind the blog
Words
My words are part of me. Expressing myself creatively in any form is personal. But somehow words are in a category all their own. For me, sharing my words with others is an unspoken agreement of trust and understanding. And just as these words are my thoughts trying desperately to take shape, this blog and is my safe space in which to mold them. So please, tread lightly.
Scorpio Season: What’s my age again?
This moment is a perfect moment. The kind you're almost sad to have because as it's happening you're already missing it, wishing it would last. But it's not a terrible sad the way some of them can be, you see. The windows are open wide to let in all sixty-two degrees, there's a round-bellied kitten … Continue reading Scorpio Season: What’s my age again?
Mama said there’d be days like this…
Days like this... they're not my favorite. They're not the worst things in the world, but they're also not the best and while I understand obviously everyone has their own struggles to contend with, sometimes things just compound at exactly the right moment. My moment looked a little something like this: Woken up at approximately … Continue reading Mama said there’d be days like this…
Penny for your thoughts?
Hey y'all. So it's been a while since we've just talked. But I would like to do more conversational posts like this where we just hangout and sort of touch base on everything that's going on. Maybe we could discuss some goals or things we're working on-- the different directions life is pulling us in. … Continue reading Penny for your thoughts?

Adulting: am I doing this right?
Context: I'm 27, soon to be 28, years young. I'm an introvert (INFJ, thank you very much). I'm a Scorpio. I'm a feminist woman with an open mind and strong convictions. I'm basically a mess. But I know this. I'm cool with it. Question: How the hell do grown-ups make friends? No, really. I don't … Continue reading Adulting: am I doing this right?
All or nothing
There are times in our lives we're nostalgic for. Fact. This doesn't necessarily mean we want to go back and redo these moments or relive them over and over again on loop. Not for me. I don't think. Rather, we miss the way we felt or the people we were or were with... something in … Continue reading All or nothing
August 12th, 2017
There are people who will take pieces of you. They'll take them when you're not looking--- sometimes even when you are. They'll stare you in the face and dare you to say something. And what can you do? Even if you get the pieces back, they're never the same. Like how we were told as … Continue reading August 12th, 2017
So it begins…
I don't normally share my writing. If I do, it's typically with people I trust. Letters to friends or meaningful words to people I love. And I've never been one for diaries or journals. Something in my nature abhors the thought of feeling obligated to create. Maybe that makes me negligent in my craft. Maybe … Continue reading So it begins…
