And in that moment, I became free...

About Me

I have an old soul. I'm the kind of person who likes to stop in the middle of the sidewalk to stare up at the sky. Sometimes, I like to let the wind brush against my hand as I'm walking to and from places. Old-fashioned bicycles and vintage items take me into the story books of history.

I love the way a rainy day feels and how early morning sounds. Crickets in the summertime, green grass beneath a starry universe, black converse shoes, the way the body feels suspended when swimming... Listening to stories, reliving memories, old Polaroids. The list of things could go on forever.

I hate feeling numb, like I'm wasting my life on something not very significant. Meaning and significance are everything. Brushing hands with someone in the store, making eye contact, jumping into the pool, the feeling of free-falling. I like experiencing life. I like midnight walks in meadows, the smell of coffee, sipping tea, the color white.

I'm horrible with words. I'm often forgetful and moody, but I want to be better. I want to experience God, but I'm afraid of letting go. It's not a process of learning how to; it's just... an action, a verb.

Other than that, if you like getting lost in the chords of music, forgetting yourself while watching the stars, or pounding your sorrows out on the lonely green track and field, feel free to message me.

the color of the clouds.

It occurred to me today that I cannot let ______ control my life anymore. So instead, I took a trip to the library this afternoon. Everything was beautiful, much like the fairytale kingdoms of happily...

Sequenced Polaroids.

  I couldn't fall asleep last night; I must have tossed and turned for a couple of hours before any wave of drowsiness had set in.  While I was lying down in my bed, staring at the stars on ...

The Gnat Who Became a Tree.

Lately, I can feel that my thoughts are waiting to venture out, to be released from the spiderwebs of my mind's gutter.   In the evenings, I sit on the plastic chair, dark blue from carrying...
