Walls, curtains, and pre-prom syndrome
Before a recent rush of thoughts entered my mind, I have been completely content with the fact that I will not have a prom date. Why should I be in distress about this anyway? I’m a pretty independent person. I always open the door and carry my books all by myself. I never needed a sturdy hand to grasp my shaky one. Being tethered to someone was never really ideal to me. Some people praise...

Ways to Spend the Spring →
Wrote a blog post at @soworthloving about fun things to do during Spring. Go check it out, unless you hate Spring. And in that case, I feel sorry for your soul.
I wouldn't mind this life.
I wouldn’t mind this life.
A life where I spend hours creating a well-organized, thoughtful, and inspiring piece of writing. Be it just for my own creative benefit or for stranger’s eyes.
I wouldn’t mind learning to type with my right hand while drinking a cappuccino with my left.
That just sounds like the best way to multitask to me.
wouldn’t mind triple checking what I write,...

Paper love.
Their love could have made fire seem like ice crystals, years ago. Life was exciting, light-hearted, and warm. They signed a paper to show what was in their heart, along with a diamond, making it apparent to the typical stranger. They made their life, composed of communication, affectionate exchanges, and patience. But somewhere along the way, the fire faded. Not to a dim glow, but to a stick of...

Dear teenage girl:
I want to take a minute to write down some words for you, because I feel like it’s really important that someone says these things.
In the grown up world, “teenage girls” are kind of a lame stereotype, and I want to say that I’m sorry. You seem to be a demographic that is…
This is perfect. And well needed.

Sometimes, "Being A Woman" Makes Me Tired →
goodwomenproject:
The past few months I have been branching out online, reading blogs and posts and sites that are a little outside the typical, comfortable easy space for me. It has been really enlightening to hear views from women I respect and admire about feminism, submission, marriage, oppression, and the Proverbs 31 woman. Many of these posts and voices are in completely disagreement with...

I won't sleep tonight.
I won’t sleep tonight…
It could be because of the four cups of coffee that should have been cut off to two, or at least have been decaf. Or maybe it’s because I still have unfinished papers to write. But mainly it’s because I’m juggling things that I am not made to juggle. I’ve never had good hand-eye coordination and I’ve always been extremely clumsy....
Don't Wait for a New Year →
Writer’s note: This is my recent blog post for So Worth Loving. I’m grateful to be a part of this organization and I hope I never take it for granted.
With the end of 2012 passed another year where I reminisce on the things I did and didn’t do during the year. One annual journal entry after another has left me with a thought that has made me ponder the ideal tradition of New Year’s...
In the midst of tragedy.
Every day I become more aware of how much this world needs people with open minds, caring hands, gentle souls, and loving heart. I don’t think I could ever be happy in this world knowing tragedies are happening and I’m not lending my clean hands because I don’t want to get involved with dirty ones. I don’t want to live a life that consists of comfort and having my mind shut...
