Whenever I do a blog post specifically titled "An Honest Post," it's probably really personal to me. I mean, ALL of my blog posts are personal and honest; I make sure to keep them that way, but there are some topics that even I feel more hesitant to talk about, or I just need a disclaimer to be completely real and raw because some things[...]
I am officially a sophomore now, guys! I finally don't have the freshman stigma surrounding me anymore, which is a relief. :) So each year of school, I like to do a post covering everything I learned and how it went. I did one large post over each year of middle school and what I learned that was really fun to look back on for me; check t[...]
You know, there's definitely a trend that I keep seeing among a lot of various Christians. And the more I think about it, I don't know if I like it.It's not that I necessarily disagree with it, but I just feel like it's almost sending another message that isn't good. And what I'm talking about is when Christians say to stop focusing on ou[...]
I've already blogged about my thoughts over some of my favorite anxiety quotes. I have folders with some of my favorite quotes that I love reading that help me come up with writing themes or just are good reminders of life lessons I agree with.

It's really hard to bala[...]
Life is all about perspective. And it's funny to see how one thing could mean the world to somebody and then to somebody else mean nothing. Because it's all about how you see certain things. A prime example of this is the small town my grandparents live in. To so many people it's just a town, and many times not a good town, but to me, i[...]
Hey everyone—I apologize for my absence on the blog this week! I've actually been writing and working on a DETAILED blog post that should be up this week :) It's longer than my normal ones and has a lot of images, so that's why there's been a delay in posting it. I'm loving that it's the weekend and finally bringing warm weather.[...]
The weather has finally been beautiful here in Iowa, much to my liking. I'm definitely a summer person, so if this becomes a trend where it's going to keep being cold for the vast majority of the year, I may or may not be moving to Arizona or Florida... Before I deleted my Pinterest account, I saved quite a few quotes to my computer ov[...]
