2018. what a year.

some people have asked me why i didn’t make a 2018 year video like i did for 2017, and to be brutally honest with you guys, it’s because i was capturing everything that now i don’t really want to remember, and failed to capture everything that i hope to remember forever. but i know i want to write about it, so here we go.

i never realized how much depth there is to who we are as human beings and just how many lessons we have yet to learn about life itself until very recently. at the start of 2018, i thought i was happy. i h...

hi all.

another four months! are we surprised?

i've been a little busy moving five hours away to start college. it's 3:22 AM, so clearly my sleeping habits haven't improved, but in every other way... i have. before i left for school, so many people told me that they changed the most their freshman year of college, and i thought the same as most eighteen year olds, BS. and i discovered the same as most eighteen year olds, i was wrong.

i've heard of a lot of my friends back home struggling this first semester, and i want everyone to know that th...

hello everybody!! another three months without writing a blog, i hope my two or three loyal readers missed me.

a lot has changed since we last spoke. i turned 18, which really didn't feel as cool as people hyped it up to be. i finished season two of thirteen reasons why in 48 hours, which was worth it. i ran an event that raised 13,000 dollars for cancer research, which was empowering. i got my heart broken, which sucked. horribly. i went to my senior prom, which was the first time i felt sad about graduating high school. then i graduated h...

hi guys

i know it’s been a while (yet again) but i’m starting to love the spontaneity of my blogs. every single one is written in one sitting, completely unedited. and warning: this one is going to be a little deep and a little sad, because i want to be honest with myself, and with anyone who happens to be reading.

i’m not going to lie, i’ve been struggling. this happens to me every year. i feel like every single person i follow on twitter feels the same gray cloud looming over them during these ugly winter transition months, and if you don’t...

above are some of my favorite photos i’ve ever taken / edited. those golden hues… my goodness.

i remember this day perfectly because i was literally stuck outside for FOUR shoots, all at the same location. these pictures were taken in a half hour break i had where i sped over to my best friend dana’s house and made her come with me for a mini photo session before my next shoot began.

looking back on these pictures now however, i feel great disappointment. even after spending eight hours there, i never really looked around. this is a huge flaw...

people always say that you find happiness in others. in my vast seventeen years, life has taught me otherwise.

let’s rewind back to seventh grade. ah yes, the glory days. if i ever were to meet the girl i was back then, i would plug my ears due to her awkward nasally voice screaming to everyone about the crazy fact that jeff and brittany just hugged by the basketball hoop. then, i would want to sit her down and tell her about how meaningless everything she worried about really was.

from seventh grade until sophomore year, i was totally consum...
