Green Cabinets
I walked into the coffee shop on the bottom floor of the apartment building that I had moved out of 9 months prior. I look around and see myself seated at every booth- talking, writing, working (sometimes). I always referenced this 3 year chapter of my life in this apartment building as The Apartments with…
august
It feels like fall today, crisp air outside and new candles burning inside. Fall is one of my favorite nostalgic feelings, I’m not sure how to describe it other than it feels like the mornings before school. It carries that bittersweet rhythm of endings and beginnings. Like my old feelings are dying with the leaves,…
Go, Feel, Stay.
I have written many times about meeting myself, and then coming back to myself. The act of it feels weird- to be with myself all the time but feel like my best version is floating somewhere higher only to try and grab onto her and bring her back down. I often find myself rereading old…

I’ve been trying to figure out being multi-dimensional lately. To be the grey rather than only being the black or the white. The grey to me has always been a resting spot. A point of confusion that I sit in until I am ready to move back to the black or the white. The healing,…
26 (poem)
I remember everything, I feel everything, I hold onto everything. Carrying it with me until I’m crawling- the straw that broke the camels back, I suppose. Everyone says that being 26 is unserious. “Have fun, nothing hurts, nothing matters.” I have been writing this since they told me that at 18, in hopes of making…
“let them, let me”
In my family, it’s a running joke that my dad and I struggle to let anything go. We’re creatures of habit, firmly set in our ways, and notoriously resistant to change. This started as early as my moms favorite example- the transition from my crib to a big girl bed when I was 3 years…
Drug of Choice
Last night I was sitting on my couch watching The Holiday, while simultaneously watching TikTok and all of a sudden something in my head screamed “IT’S SO LOUD.” I turned off the little screen and looked at the big screen, which was at normal volume. I realized that the overwhelming noise was that of watching…
healed by women
Through the eyes of my younger self, I imagined what my 20s would look like and I can tell you- 26 felt a lot older back then. I remember thinking in college I had to get my bad decisions out of the way for when the adult switch flipped to on. And my time to…
Revamp
It’s weird to love something and abandon it at the same time. Maybe that’s a little too dark for my first post in who knows how long- but it feels true. Sharing my words has always felt special to me, however there is something really scary about sharing the insides of your brain. Recently my…
An Entry from my Journal
3/21/24- 7:09pm I’m not sure why writing has been hard for me lately. I think I can’t stand the silence of it. I should be finishing this journal by now since my lease is up at the end of the month. I have started a new journal the past two years coinciding to moving into…
