Happy Tuesday, everyone! Today I’m 23 years old, and I’ve got a message to share with you. “Hatred cannot extinguish hatred, no matter the proof to justify it. I have the opportunity to birth anything I desire into this world. I will use my heart and soul to do so.” What do you think of…

Princess Pantheon | Short Story

Happy Wednesday! An excerpt from my morning journal: Today is a day of release. Release. Release. Release. Letting go of anxiety, stress, fear, and pain.

He was a man, light and pretty. He handed me a bouquet of mimosas, yellow and full. I was just a woman, stunned and amazed. I tell him, “Oh, baby, these flowers are beautiful!” ~Sammicakes

Disclaimer: This is a scary story with mentions of suicide and implied disturbing imagery. Today has not gone well. Friendships are not easy to make but are very easy to break. My mom told me that once. The last person I had considered a friend for the past five years has ended her life. I…

Movies and Shows I Watched in November 2023
Another month gone, another semester over. ❤ Novembers are always hard for me because of finals–late nights, cramming, too much sugar, not enough exercise.
