Extrovert with slight introvert tendancies.
Wiping sand off my forehead, stance ready, and eyes watching the ball, I dove. I heard the crowd erupt in cheers, but not the side of the crowd I was hoping for. I remained lying on the sand and stared at the ball sitting in the goal, taunting me. I turned my head toward the field …
The instant I knew how to put sentences together on paper, writing became my outlet. I recall, as a nine year old, using my mom's old laptop from the early 2000s (it was obviously top-notch quality) to write stories. That thing was filled with so many Word documents that the already-slow Internet became about as slow …
I'm a sucker for stories. From the time that I was a little girl, I've always loved reading books and escaping into another universe, one where I wasn't the center of the story. Even now, I still love reading from my favorite fiction authors' books. One is never too old for any book. It's exhilarating …
I wrote a post last year about how busy I was and I almost want to laugh at how I thought I was busy. And I'm sure I'll laugh at this post too, eventually, but for now, let's just say I'm a lot busier than I was last year. It's difficult because I love all …
As of today, I am officially done with middle school. During my summer before eighth grade, I was filled with nervous anticipation of my last year of middle school. I recalled that both of my brothers were not fond of eighth grade. Yet, I thought I could skip that, seeing as my sixth and seventh …
Summer please come! I need you today. Please come right now without further delay. I need your blue skies, I need your hot sun. Oh, Summer please come! ‘Cause waiting’s no fun. I’m really not kidding. This is no joke. If I have to do homework, I’m going to choke. Summer, where …
I realize that it's been a long time since I've posted an actual post (not a poem). It's been around 7 months. And knowing how HUGE my audience is (like a whole four people), I didn't want to leave you completely out of the loop in my ever-exciting life. I won't go on with every …
The strength and tranquility of God is displayed before my eyes. The ocean sits calmly, swaying like a rocking chair, constantly in motion. Even while resting, it radiates great might. The beauty on the surface cannot compare to what's below: Vast mountains and mysterious creatures yet to be discovered. Birds soar in the sky, occasionally …
I am controlled by the world. Desperately clinging on to any acceptance offered to me. Hopelessly wandering around, searching for who I am. I am exhausted; Exhausted from trying to live up to the world's standards; Exhausted from worldly things constantly failing me. In my moment of exhaustion, I see a light in the distance. …
With school having officially begun for me, I've become quite the busy bee. Rushing from school, to band, to soccer, to church events, and soon-to-be guitar lessons. In between all of that, I try to find time for homework (and food-- that's important, right?) I have to have my game face (AKA: put on a …
