Around noon today I started watching Magnolia Table from Joanna Gaines with my mom. In the first episode she makes fatayer with Lebanese salad and baklava. We decided to mix up our meal plan and make it too, and boy it was good! The fatayer is literally just biscuits flattened out and filled with hamburger … Continue reading I think I found my new favorite meal.

Shellfish are Disgusting: Prove Me Wrong
At lunch yesterday my dad walked through our back door into our kitchen and told my mom and I that we'd be having crayfish for dinner the next night. Having thought nothing of it I set it aside in my mind and went about my day. Today I spent the past 3 hours watching video-essays … Continue reading Shellfish are Disgusting: Prove Me Wrong
Amongst the Winter Storm
Have you ever noticed that the cold seems to be much more lasting than the heat? I suppose cold is merely the absence of heat. Without heat the cold itself would be non-existent. Then again, nothing exists without its counterpart, so heat couldn't exist without the cold. Heat is one of our most proactive sources … Continue reading Amongst the Winter Storm
The Media Sucks, Change my Mind
Honestly, I hate the news. Literally everything about it. All it does is remind us of all the problems in the world that everyone is already facing. People talk about desensitization to violence and so on, saying video games and TV shows are causing us to find these things normal. But, if anything, one might … Continue reading The Media Sucks, Change my Mind
Why I Wanna be Voldemort
We’ve all definitely been asked at some point the age old, 21st century question. Perhaps it could be the most important question you’ve ever been asked in your life. “If you could have any superpower what would it be?” I’ll admit I was being pretty sarcastic, but in all seriousness your answer to simple questions … Continue reading Why I Wanna be Voldemort
Rarity in a Digital Age
In a digital age where even our credit cards are on our cellphones, and all of the world’s knowledge is available to us in the form of a boxy machine in our hands, it definitely seems to be fact that there are way too many photos out there to be considered something unique. I look … Continue reading Rarity in a Digital Age
One Might Call me Weak
One might call me weak. I not only have fears, I have crippling mountains! When I feel the glaring eyes of the monster under my bed my legs feel weak, my heart beat quickens, and I feel the insufferable urge to run. One might call me weak, and I can definitely say I agree. If … Continue reading One Might Call me Weak
Why Cows Can be Purple
Growing up we're told to color within the lines, that trees should be green and the sky should be blue. But, honestly, that's a load of bull. In my church I work with kids ages 3 to 6, I sit in on their classes and assist the classroom teacher. The 2 most notable things I've … Continue reading Why Cows Can be Purple
The World is no More Than the Reality We Choose for it to Be
"In a world of Talkers be a Thinker." The reason I read is because I can insert myself into a world completely different from my own. Abstract and interesting. Where things make sense and everything ultimately has a solution. In the real world things take a time. In books they can be solved in a … Continue reading The World is no More Than the Reality We Choose for it to Be
Me vs. the World
Growing up, I've always been told to hold compassion for others, and be there for them in their time of need. But, on the other hand, I'm also consistently told to not let others walk all over me. It's a conflicting thing because in this world when you show compassion you're automatically seen as someone … Continue reading Me vs. the World
