This is the hardest blog post I've ever written and possibly the hardest one I'll ever have to write. I recognize that writing this may cost me some respect, followers, or even friends. But I also believe that staying silent on this decision is not the right thing for me. I make it a point … Continue reading Thoughts from a Pro-Choice Christian

The History of Father’s Day
Sunday was a couple of different holidays here in the United States, but one of them was Father's Day. I did a history of Mother's Day post a few years ago (May 2019 to be specific), but I've never done a Father's Day history post. It's time that we change that! So Father's Day actually … Continue reading The History of Father’s Day
Check In
Last June, I wrote a post titled "Glow Up." It was the idea of doing things that you like without holding on to what people or society expect you to be. And while that was the phrase and the phase I needed to go through last summer, this year is different. See, I know who … Continue reading Check In
The End of Year 2
Today was the last day of school for my students. This means that my second year of teaching has come to an end! I wanted to use today's post as a chance to reflect on what all went down this year, and maybe provide some insight to some of you as well. I should have … Continue reading The End of Year 2
Reset
It is so crazy to me that we're already a month into 2022. I feel like January normally takes forever to get through. But this year, it feels like it has flown by. I know, for me at least, that this year is already starting out full of chaos. There's been a lot going on … Continue reading Reset

Spoons are important. The Spoon Theory is a pretty common one in the circles of illness and disability. … Continue reading Spoons

Many of those things still are true. I still have lots of thoughts in my … Continue reading Update: Why I Started my Blog

What I Learned While Writing a Thesis
It's been a long time coming! Months of research, writing, phone calls, emails, hours in libraries, nose in books, and eyes tired from the number of articles and newspapers I scoured, but it has all led up to this! For my undergraduate Honors program, the last big requirement is to write a thesis. It took … Continue reading What I Learned While Writing a Thesis
Letting Go
I wrote a post in October 2017 called "Healing" about letting things go (read it here). It is so amazing to me how things come back around! In that post, I talked about a cut I had gotten on my finger and how I let it heal so there was only a faint scar.Well, I've … Continue reading Letting Go
Writing Advice
It's Week 2 of my advice month! I'm almost a little sad that there are only four weeks in a month, because I have so much advice I want to give! But that being said, I need to narrow it down to what I think is the most useful. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on how … Continue reading Writing Advice
