Is it enough to stand your ground?To confront the one who did you wrong?To stand tall and be firm?To tell them it's unacceptable? Do we really need to gothat extra mile or twoto cut someone downto the core of who they are?Is it necessary to bring themto their knees to repent,to acknowledge their sins,so they admit to the wrongs? I am a nice person at heart.I am overly generous at times.I am a naive little girl[...]

I am having a hard time with what is going on in the world. I am sorry for the hate, violence, anger, and tears that every person feels. If there were some way that I could erase the slate, I would in a heartbeat, in a second, and faster than the next breath you take. But I cannot save this world, so I will be here, with all of you, through every ounce of the hurt.[...]
Start over, my darling. Be brave enough to find the life you want and courageous enough to chase it. Then start over and love yourself the way you were always meant to. Let's talk about starting over. New beginnings. Fresh outlooks. Because the fact is that most of us happily stick in our rut. It requires a change of thinking, a transformation of our processes, and the foundation of who we are to fix things that[...]
If it were up to me, you would never become acquainted with lonely. You would never learn the way the chill wraps around your bones and whispers that you will never know what it means to be warm. Where the fires of love and passion grow into a distant hallucination. If it were up to me, I'd hold you until eternity caved in on us both and we took the galaxies with us into the dark and cold, but at least we could keep[...]
A lot of people ask - why a chapbook? Let's start there. This is a story. Something that has been challenging and life-altering. Three years ago, I heard every bone in my spine snap from the base of my skull through the middle of my back. It was a moment, mere seconds, but the effects were lasting. It was a form of Paralysis from a dance injury. I would tell my body to move, and the only sign that my muscles[...]
Would you do anything to take the pain from those you love? It kills me to know that I cannot keep the evils I have seen from other hearts, but, since I cannot save you from the pain, I will sit with you through it. I will ache with you and bleed with you, and I will be there to help you rise again. I will be there to tell you that the only way it gets easier is by pushing forward, looking into the wounds, and co[...]
The worst moments in my life have left scars not visible to the naked eye. They rest on my heart. I do not talk about them often because it feels tender to touch them. But looking back, I smile. Not at the memories themselves, but the moments I grew, the lessons I learned, and the times I decided that my personal health and well-being needed to come first. Personal Life Lesson I have suffered from depression,[...]
Often we forget that it's not about being content with who we are. It's about striving to always be the best version of ourselves. Over the last year I've felt stuck in a rut. There were so many things I felt that were holding me back when I was desperate to push forward. But I was viewing the change all wrong. The entire time these things in my life were pushing me to change, and I was digging my feet in figh[...]
