She loved arts and crafts ever since she was a little girl. Even though the teachers terrorized her with their critiques. Who would have done that to a twelve-year-old? Only monsters. As she mixed the newly created paints together, her tears got swept up within. She mixed […]
I love summer songs. Collectively, we sing them at a drop of the hat any time or day. Recently, Justin gave us “Can’t Stop the Feeling” and Demi Lovato gave us “Cool for the Summer”. At the moment I have no idea what the summer song of 2017 will be. However, […]
Many moons ago, I had an opportunity of a lifetime to live abroad in Barcelona, Spain. I was young, impressionable, and eager to learn. Not many people get a chance to live abroad when they are a high schooler. By the time I got to college, […]

Ever since I was a little girl living in the Bronx, I always wanted to sleep under the big bright lights. What do I mean by that? Well, I love looking out of the windows night and see the lights on in every room and in every rooftop. […]
She knew this walk all too well. She knew where she would end up and how many steps it would take to be in the light. She didn’t love life. She didn’t hate it. There was just that. Amazing how life could be so mundane yet entrenched in […]
The title of this bit is actually a little off. It’s not like I liked Tom Cruise from the outset and then stopped. Nor is it that I “still like” him in comparison to others. Seems he is still doing well enough. Nor has he done anything nutty […]
