BoJack Horseman: The Show that Kicks you in the Heart
BoJack Horseman is a Netflix original series that came out initially in 2014 and is about to reach its final season in January. It took me a while to agree to watch it for a multitude of reasons. First of all, I am the literal worst about taking recommendations for shows, I will just forget…
Being a Writer
Being a writer is having all of these ideas in your head but unsure how to translate them into consumable content. Being a writer is consistently wondering if what you’re doing is any good, and even if it is, who will read it? Being a writer is knowing where you want the story to go…
The Adorned: Chapter 1 Excerpt
Sometimes when I sleep I feel like I’m drowning and then when I wake it’s still there. The feeling of pressure on my chest, my heart racing in a panic, I wake in a sweat like I’m emerging from a pool of water. It’s the marks, the intricate marks on my body that make me…

Positivity, Negativity, and Everything Else
I have always been a creature of routine; planners, calendars, and strict regimens.

So, being unemployed for me poses the issue of, “I feel like I should be moving forward and doing something.”…
