Golden age: (n.) A period of great peace, prosperity, and happiness.
On the wake of Taylor Swift's badass Bad Blood music video world premiere, I can't help but reflect on the friendships I've had with girls over my lifetime (and also how in the world all those ladies in the music video were so insanely fierce - like really, squad goals). I mean, I haven't always [...]
Well, that was quite a hiatus, wasn’t it? Did you miss me? I missed writing. Really missed it. I suppose I should start this off with a bit of an explanation of my absence. It’s pretty simple, really: I’ve been busy living. I decided now’s as good a time as any to take a look [...]
I was walking through Target a few days ago, trying to be super responsible and not get distracted from my Only-Things-I-Absolutely-NEED list (how is it you can’t walk out of Target spending less than $100?), when I turned the corner and stopped dead in my tracks. I had stumbled upon it: the “holiday” section of [...]
Many musicians have written songs comparing love to drugs. Taylor Swift (you knew that was coming) talks about getting clean in her song by that name, Kesha has a song titled “Your Love is My Drug” (it doesn’t get much more straight forward than that), and tons of other songs have compared being in love [...]
The last few weeks have had me spinning. I feel like a falling star, flying through space and crashing into the Earth’s atmosphere, burning and reeling.

She said “Everyone has advice, everyone says what they think is best, and while their intentions are good there's absolutely nothing [...]
When I was 9 I knew what I wanted to be. When I was 12, I changed my mind. When I was 15 I changed it again and I was sure this was it this time, most definitely... But then I’ve changed my mind probably upwards of 17 times since (I tend to be “sure” [...]
When I was a little girl, I used to be entirely too shy. I wasn’t really interested in talking to kids at school (and could absolutely not talk to boys without turning a shade of crimson). The kids were fine and all, but I had these books. All kinds. Hundreds of them. I devoured books [...]
On July 23, 2014, I wrote this entry into my journal: “It’s my birthday today. My golden birthday. Hopefully this year will be full of new adventure, growth, and finding out who I am. I’m going to make it about positivity and believing in myself. Forget drama, pettiness, and worry. I’m going to be positive [...]
