it's not really news when i say that twenty twenty was not what anyone expected at all. covid-19 took away a lot of the magic that this year had in store for us. i'm frustrated, just like everyone else, but somehow i've been able to find the silver linings that come with a truly unexpected … Continue reading twenty twenty

a follow up
about two months ago i was diagnosed with cyclothymia. i wrote all about it and explained how i was feeling to you guys, but i don't think that that post did justice to how much this has changed my life. now that some time has passed and i've done my share of research, i feel … Continue reading a follow up
pleasant surprises
october is here and i couldn't be more excited. i love the spooky season more than i could ever tell you! life has picked up a bit since i've last written, so here goes. my company started a book club and i've been reading along with it. i personally haven't really enjoyed the books so … Continue reading pleasant surprises
it is what it is
my mind has been a whirlwind for a little while now. i wasn't entirely sure i wanted to share what was going on in my head but after several weeks of digesting everything that's happened, i decided that i'm finally ready to write it all out. one of the most disappointing things is when you … Continue reading it is what it is

hello lovelies! i can't believe how absent i've been, but i've been productive in the real world - i promise! pandemic aside, i've finally started moving in with tony (for real this time) and so that's included a lot of projects. i'm now realizing i can't make a before and after post for how we've … Continue reading enter june

thank you for the music, carrie michele
in january i took a leap of faith and auditioned for reston community player's production of mamma mia! i was beyond nervous not just because i was auditioning but because working with reston would have definitely been a highlight in my community theatre career. reston is known for their next-level sets, the height of their professionalism, and … Continue reading thank you for the music, carrie michele
spring is still coming
with everything going on, tension is especially high. i was naive enough to think that i could somehow make it not real or just act as i always do in order to avoid the inevitable. my anxiety manifested itself is subtle ways, things i tried hard to ignore. "you're fine," i constantly told myself. i … Continue reading spring is still coming
happy things sad things
you know, it's strange how life ebbs and flows like the waves of the ocean. it's just as if to to keep you in this perfect balance. lately i've been riding so high i've been above the clouds. i've been joking lately with all my friends that life has been suspiciously good. things with tony are … Continue reading happy things sad things
