Ah, 2020. The year from the void. Over the past week, I've seen so many people laugh about shaking the dust of it off their feet as they charge into the New Year, hoping 2021 brings them better luck than its unfortunate predecessor. That makes me sad. No, I'm not going to enrage the population [...]

Journaling Joy // 100 days of choosing happiness

Sometimes I feel sad. ("I feel ya, sister," says the internet personality in my head, chipper to the last. "Sometimes I feel like giving up on life and drowning my sorrows in ice cream and memes.") Sometimes I feel lost. ("It's rough, sister. It's rough.") Sometimes I forget who God is. ("Been there, done that," [...]
The Elf Returneth // resurrections + resolutions + a rad new decade

Before I welcome myself back and gush about the new year, I'd like to issue a formal apology for using the word "rad" in my post's title. Do I like the word rad? No. Is it a redundant word that should be eradicated (*coughs* eRADicated... okay now I hate myself) from the English language? Absolutely. [...]

"Pffffffft," said I, "jobs are for stressed out adults who have too much to do, can't pay their taxes, and survive on a diet of saltines and microwavable Kraft macaroni--" --and then I realized I was all of these things.

The majority of it was spent rambling about the responsibilities of growing up, how frightening it was to be the age of [...]

Open-ended Questions for Introspective Souls // eternal joy vs. temporal okayness
A Tale of Book Titles and Latin Terrors
The 60 Page Theory

Hello, Lovelies. I emerge from the great void of sleeplessness with yet another deep and slightly personal pondering of a serious and philosophical nature. I don't know why this only happens when I'm tired. Side effects of lunacy. I'll figure it out one day. Anyway. It's time for another 2 AM talk with Sarah. I've [...]
Hindsight, Foresight, and a whole lot of 2018 Glitter

Every year, we always go through this routine of sappiness and sentimentalism, and every year, it's just as weird. I'm feeling slightly speechless as I type out the number 2018. Guys. It's 2018. I might actually slip a tear. 2017 has been a whirlwind, let me tell you, and I honestly don't remember most of [...]
