In a daze and left so confused
What am I supposed to do?
When the only solution is

I try to believe in the philosophy that everything happens for a reason, but on this winter day a blanket of nostalgia wraps around me, and reminds me of his warmth. ♢ I’ll never forget the first time I met eyes with him, I drowned in those luminous blue pools. I was only six and he was eight, but his front left tooth was missing so he looked younger. At first, he didn’t want anything to do with me. He probably wouldn’t remember, but when my ball first rolled into his yard he kicked it back so aggressively he only missed my head by a hair. It wasn’t until I walked up to ask if he wanted to play that his face softened and my heart dove into those eyes. It was a brisk Autumn day, bu...

Welcome!

If you've stumbled across this blog it's most likely because you know me in the real world. If you know me, you'll know that I have always had a passion for writing. As all writers will say, writing allows me to express the disheveled thoughts in my mind through a creative outlet. The content on my blog will include: personal narratives, creative writing, beauty/lifestyle tips, traveling adventures, people who inspire me, and my music and book recommendations. This blog is a place I come to unwind and decompress all the stuff that's been weighing on my noggin, in other words,  my friend's basement . You know the one? Where the door is always unlocked and you can kick back and relax with friends after a looong day. No judgments. No worries. Just a place to shoot the shit. So welcome, to  My Friends Basement.
