self-destructing

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?”

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”

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”
