Nothing pushed me out of my comfort zone quite like learning to drive did, and that actually took me by surprise. For years I would always imagine myself being a good driver, and I looked forward to when that was part of my life. For some reason, though, things started to change when I actually began the process of learning to drive.[...]
The tagline for my blog for awhile used to always have some form of "fulfilling dreams" in it. That's probably still sprinkled throughout some of my copy around here, who knows. I'm okay with that because I do love addressing this topic and encouraging people to follow their dreams in line with following God. It's a good thing to have dr[...]
Ah, this is another post I've been wanting to write forever. It's no secret that I someday hope to be married and do put a lot of thought into my future marriage/husband; I've written two letters to him here and here. I've only scratched the surface, though, of this topic and my thoughts towards it, and since this is such a big thing man[...]
I wonder how long you've heard this idea and perhaps, more than likely, believed it yourself. That if you want something, as long as you put in the work, you'll get it.

We have finally made it to the final post recapping some of the major things I wish I would have learned and taken to heart sooner in high school, with this post specifically focusing on the things I wish I would have known about senior year.

Ultimately, I know that God works everything for good, including all the loneliness and pain I felt. I started recapping the things I wish I would have known my fresh[...]
Well, it's hard to fathom that the day has come so quickly where I'm writing this post, where I'm the senior about to graduate. I still remember this post that I wrote, when I felt it was surreal how I was already the eighth-grader ready to take on high school... Wow. I already feel like an older person always griping about where the tim[...]
I was so thankful I got to have my dream photoshoot this summer for my senior pictures. I’d dreamed for the longest time about getting professional pictures in the city and really being thoughtful about my clothes and vision so that the aesthetic would match that of my blog brand. I’ve always loved photography, so getting any pictures[...]
Well, another long time and no writing. A lot has been happening since then, with the most notable being I’m so excited to announce that I am a Cyclone! This summer, I was able to apply for early admission to Iowa State University and I was accepted. I’m so thrilled to be getting the ball rolling there; it feels like I’ve been wa[...]
