As with many things, online shopping has become a bad habit in today’s world. From buying clothes to buying furniture and now, to buying groceries and having them delivered directly to your home; everything you could ever want and need is right at the tip of your fingers. While this can be convenient for many…

Before college, I swear I planned out every detail of my life to a point where it was more of what I wanted than what God wanted. There was a lot of disappointment in doing so because those plans that weren’t in God’s will would fall through and I’d be left wondering “what happens now?”…

With prices at an all-time high, traveling has become a lot more difficult over the years. However, despite the prices, many people have managed to find convenient tools to aid them in getting to their desired destination. They are also more cautious with where they are traveling to. From traveling to shopping and dining in…

Seeing your face consistently Staring into your eyes Reminds me of what could’ve been Will I ever get over this feeling I get so sick of my stomach twisting Every time you ask me questions I ask myself more Why am I still in love with you Why does my heart still hurt When you…

Very little words were said When I stood before you What sold you were the flecks Gazing into the windows of my soul Like emeralds to a magnifying glass Merely dimples of a story Fondly nestled in separate chairs Miles away from one another Reaching out ignites a deep fear And my only form of…

Stranded upon the sea I look where only eyes can see Deserted huts with only a message to be found Bottles wash upon the shore Only to float along once more Will they ever reach their destination When will you stop running circles Around the cave you once hid in Will we ever find the…

This year has been one full of trials and tribulations. From health scares (the struggle to gain weight and keep it is REAL) to loss, heartbreak, new opportunities, and falling in love all over again…it has been quite a year. There are many things I look back on and wish I would’ve realized sooner but…

Negativity. It lies all around us. Miniature black holes in the sky waiting to swallow us whole. I flew towards one once just to verify it. It’s an everyday battle to choose what’s positive.
