Introduction It's official! Despite the pandemic, I will be moving and living on campus for my first semester in college (as of now). It will definitely be a different experience than most people's first semesters on campus but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I have read article after article and scoured Pinterest to find what I need to li[...]
Introduction I heavily debated what I should write about this week in light of current events. However, this post is something that God has put on my heart as something that needs to be published today. With that being said, I still wanted to include some resources for how you can help bring awareness to and make change in the racial injustice goin[...]
*trigger warning for general discussion about mental illness and for church/religious trauma. If you are concerned that this post could trigger you, please stop reading and catch up on another one of my blog posts.

Introduction To continue my For the Christian Girl Series (you can read the first post about doubting your faith, here, if you missed it), I am going to be writing about something I never understood until recently.

Introduction I've moved, lost friends, been in lockdown for over a month (thanks coronavirus), watched friends move away, been pushed aside, walked into a room full of strangers, and carried heavy burdens without the help of anyone else. I've done all this many times before and will probably experience at least some of these again. Most of these ev[...]
Note to self: I'm still learning to grow. Please be patient.Me Introduction I'm not a very patient person. I think it runs in the family but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with playing mariokart on my DS. Unfortunately for me, this game had what I considered to be a long loading time. Looking back on[...]
Introduction When we're going through hard things, it is so tempting to continue living life by going through the motions in autopilot. Instead of living in the moment, we distance ourselves from everything. In doing so, we distance ourselves from every opportunity for positive change. We do less living and more moving forward with our eyes wide sh[...]
Introduction I've been feeling very isolated recently and being in a two week mandatory self-quarantine has only allowed this feeling to grow. When I returned to America, I planned on going to a festival with a lot of my friends from high school. It would be the last time I would see most of them and, unfortunately, that event was cancelled. I am l[...]
Introduction Growing up, the phrase, "garbage in, garbage out," was thrown around everywhere I went, but I never understood it until I heard the song by Tal & Acacia, Garbage In. You've probably never heard of these two women but I heard their music all the time growing up. They're one of the few artists, in my opinion, that have a unique and a[...]
