I was involved with sports for a significant portion of my adolescence. Basketball, soccer, track, and softball. I excelled in two of those (track and soccer) until a career ending knee surgery at age 15, and now I stick to the treadmill. On the bright side, I got out of it before I had timeContinue reading “Killer Swing”

Tides
I have made it known in the past that I don’t like the beach. Specifically, I don’t like sand, hot weather, or the blaring sun. I don’t swim in the ocean (or go in it past my knees) and I don’t even really swim in pools. I am a temperate, sensible ~70 degree type girl.Continue reading “Tides”
Ignite
newborn daylight ignites the sky, fierce orange burns the remnants of night, a roaring surf smooths the sand, and welcomes another day
Beyond the Storm
when the world is ravaged by an unforgiving storm, and the sea threatens to swallow those who dare to approach, rain pounds against the slick, dark shore, until clouds part, the furious wind abates, the sun rises once more, to start the day anew, beneath a pink sky
A Light On The Ocean
when the sky grows dark, stars blink to life, the roaring tide comes in, gulls cry out, buoyed by evening winds, shell-hunters scour the sands for fresh wares, letting the hungry waves lick at their toes, the light on the ocean, a fallen fragment of moonshine, reminds us that we are, like hope unsinkable
To Say Goodbye
After 25 years, my parents have sold the family home. It is an inevitable event – my parents never intended to stay in PA forever. They’ll still be here for a little bit longer, but decided to strike while the housing market iron was hot for sellers. In a little over a week, my childhoodContinue reading “To Say Goodbye”
Slump
As strange as it sounds, the start of the pandemic in 2020 marks the last time I read a book. For those who know me well, that’s pretty wild. Because in previous years, also documented on this site, I’ve been able to knock out 100+ books. But I only read 1 or 2 books inContinue reading “Slump”
Mini Oscars Reaction 2021
(I usually just jot down my reactions whole watching the Oscars, and this year was no different…. EXCEPT I FORGOT TO POST THIS ON MONDAY. LOL. So here it is many days late.) Ugh, Carey Mulligan’s dress. 😍 Gorgeous. Well, the setting is pretty! I actually saw all the short films except documentary this yearContinue reading “Mini Oscars Reaction 2021”
Scraps
When I first started my current job, I had a 45 minute commute to work. The drive could get boring, and, as someone with frequently racing thoughts, my mind goes in some bizarre directions. On my very first day of this new route, I noticed something on the side of the road as I wasContinue reading “Scraps”
Letting Go
I have mentioned it before, but I was a pretty big “weeb” back in the day. And honestly, I still am – but it was a much greater obsession in my teens. I collected manga for a long time, and managed to complete many series, mostly of the shoujo genre – which are manga aimedContinue reading “Letting Go”
