Existential Crisis: a moment at which an individual questions the very foundations of their life: whether this life has any meaning, purpose, or value. (via wikipedia) *** I am struggling. Struggling is an understatement, actually. No, this isn’t about my mental health or a mental crisis. I’m doing okay on that front. Ish. Right now,… Read More a crisis (of the existential variety).
five minute friday time! this time on time. 2 in one day, at least I’m consistent, right? The week’s prompt: focus. Today, I noticed something. In class, I focused more on doodling on my paper than listening to my professors lecture. I just did not want to be there (another story for another day), so… Read More five minute friday {focus}
a week late’s better than never, right? This week’s word: quiet. It’s in the quiet I hear him most. On the sabbath days where I choose to say no to my to-do list, and yes to rest. On the days I forget my headphones (or lose them, whoops), and walk in the midst of the… Read More five minute friday {quiet}
I’m sitting here today, anxious about how much I have missed in the classes I’ve not been to the past two days while sick with a respiratory infection and awful sinus headache.

Five minute friday time! Love this week’s prompt: go: I am one of the least patient people on the planet. I know this is one of my biggest flaws, my ability to want things on my time. I don’t like waiting and I really hate lateness and things being late/rescheduled. Especially waiting– whether… Read More five minute friday {time}
Music has always had a profound impact on my life. I grew up with family that loved music- playing it, performing it (I’m a choir kid, my brother’s a musician), listening to it… music has always been a big influence on my life. I’ve always been a words girl, especially lyrics. Set pretty words to… Read More Songs on Sunday

When my puppy, Russ, was old enough (around 5 months old), we gave him free reign of the house. Before that, he had been closed off from all the rooms but mine and my mom’s, usually barricaded in somehow so Lola could get out but he couldn’t.
