Book reviews, travel experiences, life, it's all here.
I recently started the fun new adventure of taking care of plants! I bought two succulents, a Graptosedum Vera Higgins (left) and a Pachyveria Schedeckeri (right), and I think I understand children now. When I first bought them I did as much research as I could before I replanted them because I had no idea …

Since I wrote the review for We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach, I've thought about all of the things I wanted to say about the book but didn't for some reason (I was pretty tired when I wrote it). There's a quote in the book that basically says that when the news of the …
"The best books talk about the things you'd always thought about," this quote from We All Looked Up couldn't be more true. We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach is a novel that hits terrifyingly close to home in the current world. Right off the bat, Wallach highlights the internal struggles of teenagers when they …
I apologize for the long silence, I've had a bit of writer's block, but it's about 11:45 pm and I've had an idea for a post. So I've never been in love but I know I've experienced platonic and familial love, also known as Philia. Philia is a Greek word that is almost the equivalent …
You know what makes no sense to me? Well a lot of things actually, but what's on my mind is that the question "Who has better taste in music?" makes absolutely no sense. There are so many layers to that question that confuse me. What is the "best" music? Indie because it's unique? Pop because …
Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone is an insanely intriguing read. I was captured by the book the moment I opened it. The main character, Sam, struggles with Purely-Obsessional OCD which was fascinating to read about because I knew close to nothing about it, but this book taught me so much. This book wasn't …
Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson, was an intriguing story about Emily, a keep to herself kind of girl, who was left behind by her best friend Sloane, a total live in the moment type. At the beginning of the summer, Sloane disappears without a word, but leaves behind a list of things for …
I know I'm not the only one that feels this way, but whenever I start reading a good book it's so impossibly hard to stop. Books have this magic to them that just draws you in like a moth to a flame, it's strange. When reading a truly good book, the world just melts away …
Finally! I'm so excited for this section! It will be exactly what the title is; book reviews. After I read a book I want to create a review that is as enticing as what I read on the back of the book, or better, a review that is more enticing than the back of the …
Life is full of hard and concerning times that can mess up our schedules, relationships, and even the feeling of our own self-worth. When things get difficult it's hard to know how to deal with whatever crisis gets thrown your way. Here is a list of things to do when life gets hard and you …
A while ago I saw a post on some social media page about how a person would explain colors to someone who is blind. How would a person go about doing that? I figured it is the perfect topic to start getting into at 11:00 at night. Starting with red. I think fire, heat, sharp, …
Weird title, I know, but that's what this section is going to be. A black hole of random things that come to my mind to write about. There's not much to this section really, it will mostly be things I think to write about at midnight and need to get out of my system, so …
Ahhh, the first piece of advice. . . relationships. I haven't been in very many relationships, but I have definitely learned a thing or two from the ones I've had (oops, now you know this is my life). Something that I learned is that, especially in high school, relationships are stepping stones. You may date …
This section is going to be kind of a life advice column, but not really. It's basically going to be a place where I put all of the life lessons that I've learned from life experience and Disney movies. The fun part is that I won't tell you which one it's from *smirky smirk*. Some …
Some people might look at the title of this post and say "well that's easier said than done, the world is a mess!" which yes, they're completely right, it is a mess. With all of the chaos, stress, bad news, and casualty rates, it can be difficult to find the good things that are happening …
Well this is technically my first post, so this is exciting! It is April 2nd, about four-ish months into the COVID-19 outbreak and about four weeks into social distancing where I am, and I finally found some time to keep going with this blog! Wow, a global pandemic will really help the world slow down …
Thanks for joining me! For the longest time, I've dreamed of having a blog. I know, kinda weird right? Well I wanted a way to practice writing about experiences that I've had, or that other people have had. I wanted to experiment with writing styles, and I wanted to make dull topics seem interesting. This …
