Writing has incredible healing properties. And it can tear you apart limb from limb. At least my broken hearts can be put to paper, my tears turned to words. At least chaos can turn inspiration, dreams can spin a story. I am happy with being a writer. I love finding creativity everywhere I look as... Continue Reading →
Boy, Does Life Get in the Way
It's so disappointing to me how I fall out of my most valued habits as life provides excuse after excuse. A short list of habits I fell out of last semester: 1. I stopped doing ZUMBA or really working out at all. 2. I stopped writing in my journal after every day. 3. I stopped... Continue Reading →
Of Dragons and Men
At night, my blanket is tucked under my legs, the air on full blast. My weapon is in my hands and I find myself fighting dragons. All of my imaginary friends are dragons. I suppose they represent different things. This sounds so silly if you don't appreciate the metaphor. As a writer, I live in... Continue Reading →
Performance is a Passion
(above: my roommate and I at Into the Woods call backs.) I haven't performed in two years. Well, that's not entirely true. I was in a small singing group that did one concert. I was in the chorus of a musical. I had a decent role in a one-act play, but I was dying of... Continue Reading →
The End Is Not the End
"What is you favorite thing about living in America?" "Swim." How many of you would seriously count swimming as the favorite thing about your country? No, that has to come straight from the mouth of someone who'd never had the luxury before moving here. From someone who is grateful just to be in America and... Continue Reading →
Zutara Week 2013 Compilation
Not everyone on my blog may be interested in reading the fanfics I wrote for Zutara Week 2013. Still, I figured it'd be good if I compiled the links to all of them. Of course, I have no rights or claims to the characters, but it is a cool experience to try and get in... Continue Reading →
Couch Potatoes Anonymous
Oh hey! Did y'all know I have an unhealthy addiction to television shows? Well-written ones, mind you. I'd laugh, but it really is a terrible thing for a college student. I have far too many. I watch them when I fix my meals and sit down to eat. If I can't keep up that way... Continue Reading →
“Some Nights (in Thailand)” – RGAT
Because Renee had a song stuck in her head and a little too much down time while playing goalie in soccer (sung to the tune of "Some Nights" by FUN): "Some nights I go eat food right off the street Some nights I want to throw up Some nights I wake up having diarrhea Some... Continue Reading →
“Guidance, Worship, & Celebration” Haiku Series
The last three spiritual disciplines were discussed as our internship winds down. To be honest, the poems haven't been as easily inspired as they were when we began. I am becoming very tired. Still, I strive to be creative, even in a study time. Hopefully everyone will enjoy them. Sharing your vision Allows critiques to... Continue Reading →
Fan Fiction FTW? (Or WTF?)
Let's be completely honest: most fanfiction is complete and utter crap. I'll be completely honest: I'm not big on the genre. I mean, to each their own. You like fan fiction? Great! All power to you. I just never much got into it and I certainly never wrote it. The biggest reason for that, though,... Continue Reading →
