Welcome to another post recapping all the high school drama I went through! No, actually my high school years were painfully uneventful, which I suppose could be good, too. 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 would like to begin this post by thanking each and every one of you who thought of me and prayed for me before/during/after my surgery, it truly meant so much to me and my family! I'm also excited to finally be blogging again so that I can give all glory to God in saying that this surgery and recovery did go much better than I expected[...]
Hi everyone! I wanted to take the time to officially introduce you to my new and much improved website! While you can still access my blog through the same links, I decided to switch up things behind the scenes.

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 shared some of my favorite Christian and inspirational songs on the blog before, like in this post here, and today I thought I’d share ten songs I’ve been enjoy[...]
I would be lying if I said my hobbies fulfill me all the time. I would also be lying if I said any one person fulfills me all the time. In fact, sometimes, my hobbies make me feel worse off than before, and people can do that, too, even some of the people I love most. Maybe some people see the direction this is going and think it’s[...]
Who doesn’t love a good quote? I’m always saving new ones I find on my Pinterest here, and I have referenced my favorites so many times. Eloquent and wise words can be so helpful when you feel down or just need to be inspired to press on. I’ve also written several blog posts where I break down things I’ve learned from some of my f[...]
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[...]
