Equally as Gorgeous
It’s been a hot minute. Normally when I write these, the words and topic is on my mind for a couple days. The flow of it and where it ends is easy to see. I’ve had things on my mind lately, however, the words just aren’t coming to me. Where it starts to where it … Continue reading Equally as Gorgeous
All The Feels…
Most of the time when June 1st comes around, there’s always a singular emotion or thought that stands out more than others. This June 1st wasn’t like the others, in fact, it was very different in that there isn’t one emotion that stands out. The days leading up to the day are the hardest. The … Continue reading All The Feels…
“What If?”
In July I had planned a quick four-day trip to visit my cousins in Boston. Before leaving I wasn’t feeling well, had the typical cold symptoms and so I still caught the flight that Wednesday night. As we were landing in Boston, my ears had unbearable pain. I looked like a mental patient rocking back … Continue reading “What If?”
Sitting in it…
I’ve been a bit MIA, a good hot minute or two since the last post. Meanwhile, I’ve been studying full time, crying, doing therapy, working full time, crying, doing more therapy, sickness here and there, and traveling. What more could you ask for? I’m not writing this for pity; I’m confident I don’t need it. … Continue reading Sitting in it…

Let’s talk about the D…Diabetes that is.
As you would have already read, I’m a type 1 diabetic. From an outside perspective taking care of diabetes may seem like a fairly easy thing to do but in reality, it’s a complete pain. It only looks easy because we’ve had hours and even days of training in it as well as just years … Continue reading Let’s talk about the D…Diabetes that is.
Epilepsy…
Like I said I was diagnosed with epilepsy at two and continued to have seizures until around 13. A lot of times when you start having them so young, you can grow out of them and that’s what they think I did. I still have to say I’m epileptic due to the fact that I … Continue reading Epilepsy…
Story Time
Some of you know my story from the very beginning and some of you don’t, so here it is. My story doesn’t just start ten years ago with an accident; it starts way earlier than that. It’s just been added to as time has gone by. Two years old. My story starts at two years … Continue reading Story Time
