This post is going up a little late (by a little, I mean 10 days late. I am a bad blogger). But if I'm being honest, life has been busy now that I'm back in school, and also I just haven't been in a writing mood much this week. But I've finally gotten around to [...]
“You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.” – Miriam Adeney Loving people in more than one place. Having more than one place that feels like [...]
September 29th, 2018 You know that feeling when you’re kind of sick, and fall is in the air, and everything is changing, and you feel all emotional and nostalgic and you miss your mom and you just want some soup? I’m not sure what the term is for that feeling, but I’ve had it all [...]
21 was a year of like, realizing things. I think I’ve learned a thing or two over the last few years, but so far, this year has taught me the most about myself and about the most important things in life. Many of these are going to sound super cliche, but they're things that [...]

"If you make friends with yourself, you'll never be alone." It’s been almost four weeks since I uprooted myself from Saskatchewan and re-planted myself in Toronto. We’re gunna say I’m just more of a potted plant for now because being fully planted into the ground feels a little too permanent and intense for me. [...]
January 11th, 2018 The last couple days I've finally been trying to adult, and I've fully diverged myself into the horror that is public transit. Last night I managed to get around downtown and make it home without a stitch, so there I was, thinking that I'm such a natural. Then tonight happens. After a [...]
Everything about 2018 is screaming "fresh start" for me. After spending the last three and a half years in a city that helped me grow immensely, it was time for a new adventure that would challenge me beyond the boundaries that I found myself reaching over the past year.

We all have things that we daydream about. And I’m not just talking about the shoes you're dyyyying to buy or the perfect face on that guy in your English class. I’m talking about the real shit in life - the dreams we endlessly think about, but have a tendency to push aside. When you’re [...]
