I have wondered lately where the line between dreams and reality is. If the line is blurred, or even possibly disintegrated altogether, then does that make life a dream? Or does that make a sad and dreamless life? If one achieves all of the hopes and dreams, do more come? Is life content? Is itContinue reading “self-destructing”

another introduction
In my last post, I talked about meeting a lot of new people and reintroducing myself over and over again as an aspiring- slightly accomplished- writer. When I first started this blog I wrote an introduction post. It contained less of what I had to say about myself and more about what others had toContinue reading “another introduction”
what do you want to do?
Last week I wrote a post talking about feeling like a writer and wanting to start posting every week. This week’s post is going to piggyback off that one in a lot of ways. I want to start feeling more like a writer, but why is that important to me? Being a writer and aContinue reading “what do you want to do?”
feeling like a writer
I dearly miss the days when this blog was a place for me to blog my thoughts in a consistent and enriching way, and/or a way for me to show off physical journaling as well. Instead, it feels like a distant relative that you see once in a while and realize that the dread ofContinue reading “feeling like a writer”
feel the rain
A lot of my posts on this blog start with mentioning that I was in a rut, feeling very down and defeated, prior to diving into the story and/or lesson. It goes to show how sometimes you need to be down to realize how good the up is. I also feel like this is justContinue reading “feel the rain”
i wrote a book and graduated college in 2023
Back in high school, I remember arguing with my sister-in-law about whether or not I was going to attend college. I told her over and over again that college was not for me. I felt too ambitious, I wanted to travel the world and see things I wouldn’t in my hometown. I wanted to runContinue reading “i wrote a book and graduated college in 2023”
the new year
The satisfying numbers that this year held didn’t really live up to the expectations that I had for it. That statement is not to say that I had a bad, disappointing, or underwhelming year. But, the last thing I would consider calling this year was satisfying. I felt rushed a lot of the time, IContinue reading “the new year”
present
I spend a lot of my thinking on my future. Where I’m going, how I’m going to get there, how excited and hopeful I am for it. I have such a vivid idea of where I want to go in life. Sometimes I’m really worried about whether I’m going to get to my ideal futureContinue reading “present”
last day of summer
Last day of summer, once again. It’s a weird feeling every year. I can’t even be that sad that it’s ending, I haven’t done much. A couple little trips, that’s something. It was kind of fun while it lasted. I was going to watch the sunrise today but I woke up too late. I usedContinue reading “last day of summer”
portland, oregon
Trees fly past us and my eyes are captured by their beauty as if I had never seen a tree before in my life. As if I had never even seen the color green. The rain is making the scene even more beautiful, even if it’s making my boyfriend slightly more anxious on this drive.Continue reading “portland, oregon”
