How Do You Grieve Someone You’ve Never Met?
It’s been about a month, I waited a while before posting this as I wasn’t in a very good headspace nor did I really understand why I was so distraught over the loss of someone I’d known in my early young adult life but never met before. To be quite honest I probably need a…
It’s a Mango Summer, Baby 🥭
Hello! It’s been quite a while. Life has been hectic these last four years. I’m gonna try to be better about posting, hopefully I’ll find a happy medium within my social and work calendar to fit in some blogging time 🙂 for now, let me tell you about my mango consumed summer. The days are…
Don’t Wait
Today I thought I’d share some advice. The best advice I could ever give my younger self and anyone else who will listen honestly is don’t wait. Don’t wait for your life to be “perfect” to be happy. Your life is already as perfect as it needs to be in this moment. Everything will fall…
What’s That Sound?
Recently, I went through my dad’s old CDs that my mom has held on to for almost 18 years. Even after all this time, pieces of him still linger.

The Quarantine Recently Reminded Me: Being Creative Is One Of My Greatest Passions.
So, as of today I am on day 60 of the coronavirus quarantine. Like many likeminded individuals who have started personal blogs at this time, I just wanted to find a way to keep myself and my mind busy and from slowly going insane due to the boredom that comes with a stay at home…
Making That Dumb TikTok Whipped Coffee 100x Because It’s Literally Crack.
I’m a coffee person. I thought I’d start off with that statement. Honestly when I first saw this trend online I thought it was the most wasteful way to make coffee. The way it was prepared also made it look so unappetizing, I thought the coffee would be bitter or taste strictly like the cream…
