Logging onto my computer today, I had a different plan in my head then telling this tale. Then there was a writing prompt, one that I laughed off yesterday with a simple thought of “what kind of feature is this, a silly one that’s for sure” and with that thought 24 hours later I am […]
When the clock stuck 12:01 this New Year’s I told myself I would come back to those things that filled me with joy. I would drop the needle upon some vinyls more often, curl in my favorite corner listening the raindrops drum against the window. I would get lost within a world of words on […]

This summer was nothing that I thought it was going to be when I first bought my plane ticket. It was supposed to be winding roads, traffic jams and beaches with magnificent sunsets. The salty air was supposed to wrap me like a blanket as we walked down memory lane. The soundtrack of palm trees […]
