in my mysterious era
in a little under three weeks, i’ll be moving into my dorms in los angeles and, even though i’ve lived 45 minutes out for a majority of my life, i feel as though my life is about to change. and, with any big change, i’ve cleaned up my socials and dirtied my room. i always…

on the couch
in a week, the rusty orange couch i’ve grown accustomed to will probably be moved out. if in-a-week me were writing this, she’d be on the cold hard wood, surrounded by boxes. in a week and two days, i’ll be home. the dry warmth of my suburb of los angeles around me. the city of…

finding my nest
today i went to the fifth floor of one of my classroom buildings, locked the door, and opened my computer. i logged onto my therapist’s portal and waited for 9 minutes until she logged on. and, then, i couldn’t hear her and then we called and then we facetimed. and then i talked about my…

august 4th 8 AM thoughts
being a teenage girl is wild and crazy and fun and… also the worst. growing up on social media, i have a theoretical record of all of the phases of my life (except for the fact that i’ve deleted hundreds of photos off of my instagram for the sake of my OCD). but, i remember…

impulsivity
i’ve always been a cautious person. even in elementary school, i remember getting flares of anxiety whenever i did something that i knew probably wasn’t a good idea. this year, i’ve kind of taken a step back and thought a lot about my high school experience and all of the amazing experiences i’ve had. and,…

the wishlist: réalisation par
so, if you follow like five instagram fashion influencers, then you’ve probably heard of réalisation par. if you don’t, i’ll give you a brief synopsis. in 2015, alexandra spencer and teale talbotso created this uber-french brand that specializes in creating individual pieces that “[they] felt were missing from [their] own wardrobes and put them in to…

lit review: ready player one
so, before i begin, i’d like to apologize for my lack of posts! i know my four followers don’t mind too much, but, regardless, the only way to a loyal readership (which is a big goal of mine) is to be posting consistently! so, to hopefully end this hiatus, i’ll be posting a short, mostly…

lit review: clean
so, i did it again! i read my entire book in a day, but with a book little less magic than last time. today, i’ll be reviewing amy reed’s novel clean. my rating: ★★★☆☆ plot line: this book follows a group of five teens (olivia, jason, eva, christopher, and kelly) going through their first time…

lit review: the truth of right now
it took me a day to really just sit down and read this book, but once i did, i dived into it. so, without further ado, here’s my opinion of kara lee corthron’s the truth of right now. my rating: ★★★★★ plot line: this book follows lily and dari, two teenagers on seemingly opposite spectrums…
