Dear Fat People

I am the type of person who goes through waves of watching YouTube videos excessively and then not at all. I have recently found myself looking for more creators to follow as I have more “free” time at work (Shhh, our little secret). Recently I’ve found myself bored with my subscriptions and looking for newContinue reading “Dear Fat People”

Highs and Lows

I’ve written about this in previous posts, so excuse my repetition, but I’m constantly reminded that life is filled with the highs and lows and they are often existing in the same moment. I wish this weren’t true, but I seem to find myself most drawn to writing when life is at its low moments.Continue reading “Highs and Lows”

Leaving LA: Its Really Happening

I want to start off by saying that I’m not in love with LA. In all honesty, I don’t like LA at all. With that said, I feel sad as I think about moving away from the place I’ve called home for the past 5 years. I can’t help but look back at all theContinue reading “Leaving LA: Its Really Happening”

Life Updates in July!

Time sure flies when you’re working two jobs! I’ve sorely missed writing on this blog. I’ve missed making YouTube videos (which hopefully changes soon!) And I’ve especially missed the concept of “weekends”. Working at a movie theater on the weekend means I’ve only had days off for holidays (YAY for 4th of July!) and I’mContinue reading “Life Updates in July!”

So this happened.

I’m entirely sure how to feel about it either. I mean, I’m glad that it’s “over” and I’ve submitted the application. But I’m also scared of what the future holds. I have placed a LOT on getting back into school and only affording it because of the discount I received by being a staff ofContinue reading “So this happened.”

WHOA.

Time is flyin’ by these days. I feel like I have so much to write about and yet nothing at all. I’m not sure I can actually write out entire paragraphs at this point, but I do want to update some things that have been going on for the past 2 months or so: I’mContinue reading “WHOA.”

Life update

I wish I could accurately describe the quantity of posts that I’ve been wanting to write over the course of the last month. Some got a little too personal, others too depressing… but most were great bursts of an idea but didn’t develop past the title once I got to writing it out. I alwaysContinue reading “Life update”

Sing it Out

For the past 6 months, I’ve been taking singing lessons 2x a month…and I’m in love. I can’t imagine not having these lessons to help me grow and be a better singer. The wildest part is that most people have no idea how much I love to sing. I’ve spent a good majority of myContinue reading “Sing it Out”

Loss

It’s been a little under 2 1/2 months since I left my bag on the train. I’ve gone over and over the details of that day and even the night leading up to my train adventure to think of what I could or should have done differently. I wish I had left my retainer atContinue reading “Loss”

Reflections..

The holidays bring up both good and bad memories, especially as the new year approaches and we begin to reflect back on the year that is ending and look ahead for the year to come. Recently my roommates and I were thinking about the past year and all that God has done. While listening toContinue reading “Reflections..”
