My thoughts,Meandering as they seem,Wander with a purpose.They flick through shadows dark,Fly through forests deep-Gentle in their motions,Settling as if they never were.They dance through day and night,Hunting for a place to rest,A spot to sink in,Wandering far from where they started.Eventually they find their place,Intrusive and novel as it may be,It feels more like … Continue reading More Home Than Reality

Why I’m Pro-Choice and Anti-Abortion
There are so many important problems that we could put our heads together to solve, but instead we sit around fighting with each other. Rather than arguing with each other and not getting anything done, we could sit down with those willing to listen and find a solution to all of our problems. One example … Continue reading Why I’m Pro-Choice and Anti-Abortion
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
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

I look … Continue reading Rarity in a Digital Age
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
“Love”
I say the two simple words "love" and "you" so many times a day others may find it unreal. I once read an article saying that the concept of "love" has become so under-saturated we use it to describe our enjoyment of activities or things as dumb as objects or food. But I don't think … Continue reading “Love”
The Epic Battle: Nature vs Nurture
So a little while ago in AP Lang we talked about an article we had to read on what makes a serial killer. It talked about how genetics effect these people's personalities and mentalities, which, in turn, impacts their outward actions. And it sort of got me thinking about a topic that absolutely fascinates me: … Continue reading The Epic Battle: Nature vs Nurture
The Game of Life
In the 21st century we're in a constant race to stay ahead. We have to stay caught up on the latest trends, know the latest news, keep up with where Sarah went for Spring break, and the race continues. When we aren't ahead of the race, we're the ones who can't keep up in conversations, … Continue reading The Game of Life
