Feed the World

I love you like the tree loves the sun. I breathe in your warmth, and my exhaled joy feeds the world. I love you like the bird loves the air. I float on your breeze, and my filled wings move the mountains. I love you like the fish loves the sea. I drift through your…

Summer Break

The first few months of 2015 have been a whirlwind, with barely a moment to take a breath and catch up on life. I spent nearly four months serving as the producer on the morning news show, The Daily Buzz, while balancing my full-time job as a Supervisor of Admissions. It was a dream come…

Real Happiness

I feel like I’ve undergone a massive transformation. The last few years have been a period of constant evolution, going from a young adult to a grown woman in a rapid span of time. I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I’ve hurt people. I’ve hurt myself. It’s been a learning experience for me, and for…

The Return of Happiness

I feel my happiness coming back. It’s been a slow process, but it’s returning, and I can feel the warmth spreading through my body. I doubt myself less often.

I am Happy

I am happy.   Just a new definition of happy. An aware version. An evolved version. A less naive, less opportunistic, version. My mask is gone. I am not the woman I once was. An inspected soul is a vulnerable soul, and I’ve been keeping mine under the microscope lately; It’s bound to be bruised.…

Opportunities

With graduation less than six weeks away, I really feel like the momentum is building. I’ve gone through two interviews for internships. I’ve sent out samples of my writing to multiple companies, colleges (yes, thinking about grad school), and potential employers. This is really happening, folks. I found out last night that the owner of…

Coincindence… or faith?

While my husband and I were out shopping this afternoon, I decided to take a quick peek at my school email. I’ve been checking it frequently, as I’ve been providing that address as my primary contact for most of the contests and literary journals I’ve submitted to the past few weeks. I’ve gotten very used…
