  • Between the Lines #1

    I wrote this before this blog ever existed. It was tucked away in one of my notebooks, waiting for the right place to live. I think it found that place here. Scars The gods always asked for sacrifices. Some were given lambs. Some were given daughters. I was given myself. No temple stood above me,…

  • Daily prompts

    If you could erase one trend from history, what would it be? If I could erase one trend from history, it would be racism. I know it’s not the kind of “trend” people usually think of, but it’s a pattern that humanity has repeated for far too long. History is full of moments where people…

  • Sunday Things #1

    There’s something about Sundays that feels different. The week slows down just enough to catch its breath, and for a little while, everything feels a little quieter. This week wasn’t the easiest. A sinus infection and a stomach bug forced me to slow down in ways I didn’t want to. I missed work, spent more…

  • Notebook Pages #1

    Before we begin… Notebook Pages is where I’ll share the things that haven’t quite found a home yet—poems, story ideas, fragments, questions, and the words that end up in the margins before they become something bigger. Not everything I write is meant to become a finished piece. Some thoughts are complete exactly as they are.…

  • Learning to Look Closer

I probably would’ve too if I hadn’t stopped long enough to really look at it. The closer I got, the more I noticed. Tiny droplets of water tucked between petals. Textures I…

  • The Girl Behind the Screen

    If you had asked me a few years ago where I thought I’d be today, I don’t think I would’ve pictured this. Starting a blog has always been one of those ideas that lived in the back of my mind. I wanted a place where everything I create could exist together instead of being scattered…

  • Welcome

    If you’re reading this, welcome. I’ve always loved stories. Not just the ones tucked inside books, but the ones hidden in ordinary moments—the conversations that linger after they’ve ended, the photographs that hold more memory than they should, the thoughts that keep us awake long after the world has gone quiet. For years I’ve written…
