25 has been one of the most important years of my life, and even though it included some pretty hard things, it also had some of my favorite memories ever. From visiting New York City and Costa Rica to falling more in love with life in Birmingham and with the life I get to live, […]
One of the best things about my friend group from high school is that when we talk about making plans, we actually do it. We’ve taken road trips throughout the Southeast, last year a few of us went to Switzerland, and we just got back from a group trip to Costa Rica. Dive in for […]
I’ve always loved having this blog to look back on and reflect when I’m going through anything, good or bad.

Today I turn 25, and while I’m already an optimistic person by default, I’m feeling more excitement for the future than ever before. Throughout middle school and high school, I always looked towards the future with hope for a day I’d be on my own, with a job where I can write all day, surrounded […]
