High School Graduation I recall my childhood vividly and fondly. My memories are surrounded by adventure and comrades. I spent my weekends and summers at my grandmother’s house along with my siblings and cousins. I was lucky enough to have four older brothers and ten guy cousins. My sister and I were the only girls.…
#223 Discipline
A picture of the cloudy night that I took. It was 9pm but the photo came out like it was 2pm. Spooky ? It is so easy to lay in bed all day and make a million excuses why I shouldn't get up. Most of the time, the excuses aren't bullshit. They are legit reasons…
#217 feeling twenty twenty-two
Like my girl Taylor Swift sang “I’m feeling twenty two” In my mind, there was so much I wanted to mention for the first post of 2022. I wanted to talk about all my hopes and dreams for this year. Tonight, as I write, fog is present in my head. I can't think straight or…
#216 another year 2021
I wanted to take some end of 2021 photos. My room was always a mess this past year from all the sewing I was doing. The shirt I am wearing was made by me and never finished either. LOL The skirt is actually an old dress that I took apart. I plan on making it…
#215 conventions
Which transformer is this? Robert Midsummer Scream: Season Awakening When I find a penny on tails, I make sure to set it on heads somewhere for someone else to find it. If it's on heads, I consider it to be good luck. I can be a bit superstitious, which can lead to paranoia. I found…

She lives in a closet and he lives in a small bedroom. Our rooms are filled with clutter. Any normal person that walks into them assumes that we live a poor life. Life is full of struggle. When I look at our room, I see Artists. Cardboard boxes stacked up to the ceiling. He stare…
#204 a true scary story
In honor of the spooky season, I want to share with you a truly scary story. I am the youngest of six siblings. I have four brothers and one sister. Since I was a little girl, I was intrigued by scary stories, especially true stories. As a teacher, I’ve noticed that children have this attraction…
#201 spoken word poetry
***I spent my days last week listening to spoken word poetry by Rupi Kaur. To my surprise, I was gifted her new book later in the week. Strange right? (Thank you Joanna). Synchronizing is what my therapist calls it. Enjoy this random spoken word poem. Kind of want to do an open mic night soon…
#199 sing us a song piano girl 🎹
When I was a little girl I told my mommy and daddy I really want to learn how to play the piano. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the money. One day my mama and I walked to SavOn, which is now CVS on Sepulveda Blvd. I can’t remember why we were there probably need to pick…
#196 a full bathtub
My best friend gifted me a bath bomb and I’ve never used one before. Believe it or not I don’t really like to take bathes because they take a lot of time and I’m usually on the run. A nice hot shower usually does it for me. Oh and I also hate how when I…
