  • Impatiently Waiting

    Hey y’all! So something that I noticed about me that’s kind of funny but also not is that I can totally get impatient. Like I’m the type of person who will read the end of a book so that I can know how it will end before I read it from the beginning. Like I…

  • A Change is Coming

    hey yall! Oh my goodness. What a whirlwind the past two weeks have been! It’s been emotionally draining for me honestly.

  • One day at a time
