The Road to One Hundred

It feels like only yesterday I was frustrated because I didn't know anything at all about this thing called blogging.  Today, my follower count just hit 100. Now, I know that to you bloggers who have been doing this for way longer than me, this is nothing compared to the numbers you're crunching. But I'm sure you …

The Question on Every Blogger’s Mind

If there's one thing I'm learning in life, it's that things don't always have to happen at the exact moment we plan for them to happen. It's okay to be spontaneous. In fact, it's good to be flexible! That being said, I planned for every last Friday of the month to be my YA Feature …

Your Drum. Your Rhythm.

I'm going to try something different today. Just like a good book has chapters with varied lengths, I'm going to start incorporating a few concise posts to my blog! 😉 Here goes: Be quiet for a second and listen to the rhythm of your life. It's unique. The way you talk...the way you walk...the way you love...the …

Adulting 101: The Constipation of Our Motivation

Bet I got you with that killer title, huh? 😂😂😂 Well, it's the first day of the week! *slow claps* Happy Monday, folks! I'm just gonna get right to it, 'mkay? 'Mkay! Motivation. If you're familiar with your hashtags, you know that there's this thing called #MondayMotivation. However, we all know that Monday's not the only day …

My First Emmy Nomination

First of all, I'd like to thank my awesome co-stars, Stephen Amell, Emily Bett Rickards, Norman Reedus, and Andrew Lincoln. You guys are the best. Um...  *struggles to compose self* Grant Gustin, Danielle Panabaker, and...Sofia Vergara...Kevin Spacey! Can't forget you guys. Thank you for all your support. And the fans! Okay, I'm done kidding around …

An Open Letter to My Heart

I hear you. I hear you beating.  I know you felt let down. You put your hope in something you didn't get. So you looked for something to blame--something...someone...to get mad at. But you couldn't. Because you knew there was nothing and no one to fault. You didn't want to cry...because you didn't want to …

When One Feels Overwhelmed…

Unlike our care-free-hair-flying-in-the-breeze kid life, adult life is filled with so many things that just have to be done. And since this is one of the places I feel like it's okay to be real and say what's on my mind, I will. There are times (like today) when I feel overwhelmed. In fact, more than …

Adulting 101: Revive the Art of Dreaming

When we were kids, nothing seemed impossible. We could wish for anything as hard as we wanted to, and no one could stop us. No one could bring us down from our little castle in the clouds. I mean, just think about it. We put cushions on the floor, and jumped from one to another, …

Adulting 101: Laugh at Adulting Memes

Why hello there, beautiful people! Here's something you should know about me (for this post, at least)--I love memes. I can't count how many times I've been caught laughing out loud (quite noisily, actually) all because of a really good one. So today, I gave Meme Generator a try, and I kinda had a blast …

An Open Letter to A Man Named Christmas

Lately you've been on my mind And I don't quite know why. Because on the night that you died, I didn't even cry. They told me I was with you the day before you "left" But it seems incomprehensible that it's only now I've wept. Because it's like... How is it I can miss someone …
