Words Are Power
I began this blog during my undergraduate degree in 2016. It was my safe space then, and it is my safe space now.
Tales of Christmas Past

Finding Your Why - Be Passionate About Living
Give yourself to respect to acknowledge not what you are doing, but what you are being."I think your life will be special," He told me. When I raised my eyebrows with no shortage of skepticism, he smiled a very genuine kind of smile. "Yes, I do. Because you've already got your why."

For a Friend Who has Forgotten Their Magic

I will be your fortitude, your crutch and your cheerleader whenever the need arises. I cannot solve your problems, but I will ensure that you do not face them alone.
