I know many people and have many connections. However, few know anything about my personal/private/home life. They know nothing of how my life is once I leave campus, work, or Shreveport/Bossier in general. At the end of each day I migrate south to Stonewall, Louisiana where I live with my parents, both in their 60’s, … More Lessons of Adventure
So life got kinda crazy and I’ve learned some things. I don’t really like doing brunch but I will if I have to. To me, brunch feels like speed dating. Especially in my demographic because we are typically college students with job shifts that begin a half hour to an hour after our classes end. … More Brunch, frankly.
Throughout our childhood and younger years most of us are taught about how we can protect ourselves from harm. Don’t touch the flame, you’ll be burned. Don’t run with that knife or those scissors.

But doesn’t she have a point? Doesn’t everything just seem so fucking complicated sometimes? You … More Complicated
This was the first week of my last year in college and while I’m so excited to graduate, I found myself strolling around campus this morning with a weak, nostalgic smile on my face. So much has happened to me here. This is my second home. I’ve spent day after day here from 8AM classes … More Your favorite shoes don’t fit anymore…
It’s 1:00 AM and here I sit with a steaming bowl of shrimp-flavored ramen, thoughts racing through my head about Wednesday. Wednesday morning at 9. The first day of my senior year of college. Upon saying that, so many thoughts flood my mind. I want to cry, I’m sad, I don’t want to leave, I … More Old Habits Die Hard
No. For me, it’s “New Year, New Planner” and I get so excited because of this. I am an avid planner. I tried several different brands and formats and still found myself whipping out a loose leaf notebook to jot down random things here and there, which meant there wasn’t even a point in having … More New Year, New Plans
I invest a lot in sentimentality. One of the main driving reasons for my passion for photography is the want to preserve as much as I can; to capture every moment I can and hold on to it for eternity.
