School is finally out! April was a meager month of new content for me, as I was studying for finals, presenting, and writing lots of essays.

Movies & Shows I Watched in March 2023
Another month gone, a new month in its place! This was a lighter month of new content for me, since my schedule is becoming more demanding with work and studying. I was in the mood to watch things I’ve already seen a dozen times before that I didn’t need to pay full attention to– Disney…
Movies and Books I Finished in February of 2023
Another month gone, another in its place. This was a month of romance stories, classic comedies, and Tyler Perry movies. Before this month, I had never seen a Madea movie! I had assumed that all of Perry’s movies were goofy, poorly done, ignorant and gross and rude, or just flat out unfunny. I had misjudged…

Happy Girl
I am undergoing the process… of stripping away the things that were never me and discarding the beliefs that were never truly mine. For a long while I asked everyone I met and everything I found, “How can I be happy?” After all the removals and discarding, I was left with the solid foundation. A…
Time, Money, Numbers
I want to release my dependence of the constructions of time and value. Too many times I check for the time. I’ve begun the very adult habit of checking my bank account. It’s difficult to say in a way that makes any sense with a little validity, but there is a great misery in depending…

The Party of My Dreams | 21 and Strawberry Cake
In my dreams as a very little girl, I awake to a birthday morning in a room streaming in fluffy pink ribbons and balloons of pink hearts all around me, awaiting a kitchen filled with presents enwrapped in pink and a delicious cake of the same shade. I awake this morning to my dream. written…
