Hiatus

I'm sorry I have been so absent again. Life just catches up with you and you eventually leave your blog to capture dust. My life has felt insane recently; nearly every day I have some sort of required event from work to school to counseling to homework, and even some events of choice, such as …

Job

I most definitely do not post nearly as much as I could, and I am still hoping to do better (I am halfway through my summer semester of college) once I am done with Creative Writing, but I have a request. I applied many places for a job, and I finally got called today (the …

Survived

I survived my first college semester! I am now on an 8 day break before I start my next semester with a creative writing class. I am currently trying to read The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins. I started it quite awhile ago, but only got around 50 pages in. I reviewed what had happened through …

Until Monday…

My next post will probably be Monday or Tuesday. I have finals coming up, so I am going to be practicing a lot of math problems, trying not to go crazy, and make sure I know my grammar well enough to not fail my test. Monday I am complete with my first semester of college, …

My Favorite Stories

Our Town by Thorton Wilder--this play is so deep. I've seen it twice and …

50 Followers Challenge

Guys! I'm almost at 50 followers! Less than 10 away! First, I want to say thank you so much to my loyal readers and followers. You mean so much to me, and I am blessed by you. Now, I feel like 50 is a pretty big accomplishment (at least for my tiny blog). So I've …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

This is a very enjoyable film starring Keira Knightly, Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, and Orlando Bloom. This is a pretty old film (well over years old). I think this was my first "grown up" movie. I remember watching it in the living room one night with my parents. Summary below (contains spoilers) Elizabeth Swann (Knightly) …

Coping with Loss

Last night I got some news about my lost love that really shook me. I miss him a lot and my heart feels like it was broken into a million pieces. So many emotions flood my mind and heart: anger, relief, sadness, depression. I feel betrayed, and start thinking about how I was rejected by …

Confidence

Even as Christians, confidence is something really easy to misunderstand. Sometimes we can be overly confident in ourselves to the point of pride, but other times we can lack confidence to the point that we don't acknowledge the gifts The Holy Spirit has given us. We are dependent upon God. There is not a single …
