It's funny how my happiest moments come when I'm at my lowest. Sure, I like being caught up in the busyness of life, jumping from one fun thing to another, living in a whirlwind of goodness. But in the midst of this, I find myself looking back to a time when things weren't going so [...]
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 [...]
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," [...]
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. [...]
"Sarah, you need a job," Anna informed me one day. "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. There was no dispute after [...]
Well folks, today is special. Today, on the 19th of 2019, I turn— 18. I know. I was disappointed about that too. Two years ago, I wrote a post commemorating my 16th birthday. The majority of it was spent rambling about the responsibilities of growing up, how frightening it was to be the age of [...]
There was a spike in my blog visitor stats on June 9th. I think everyone wanted to see if I was still alive or not… So HELLO, people!!! Despite popular assumption, I am not dead! If you didn't read my last post and have no idea why I'm suddenly treating death as a narrowly circumvented [...]
Lately, I've been having trouble sleeping. Not in a dark, dramatic, "the cares of this world keep me up," kind of way. Or in an, "I'm an incredibly unhealthy being who surfs the internet when I should be sleeping," kind of way. (I may be a teenager, but I'm not THAT far gone...) I'm not [...]
Have I ever told you guys the story of my book title? No? *cracks knuckles* Some of you may recall a time before Aeterna was Aeterna. If you do, I feel sorry for you; my writing was a mess back then. Naturally, I didn't know it was a mess -- not at the time -- [...]
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 [...]
