Author of Life #1
The most important story you can tell is your own. Stories are an integral part of the human experience. Without them, life would definitely not be the same. Stories help us to connect with and learn from one another. They give us hope, teach us lessons, force us to think, and so much more. In…

Hey, Soos! #7
October 17, 2020 Hey, Soos! One day I hope to climb a mountain. Yes, a super random way to start out this entry, I know. Why would a born-and-raised Ohio girl want to climb a mountain? I guess there are a few reasons that I can think of off the top of my head. One,…

Hey, Soos! #5
October 13, 2020 Hey, Soos! Creativity is one of the most important things in my life. Without it, I’m not quite sure where I would be. In many ways creativity has kept me somewhat quasi-sane during my darkest moments. When my anxiety reached a fever pitch during my childhood years, I would go in the…

My Road
For most, if not all, of my life, I have felt like I’ve been on a journey that many others do not get to experience. I have been on the “road less travelled”, and it has not been until recently that I’ve begun to fully understand what that has meant for me. Being more individualistic…

They make their own shelter, hunt for food,…

Seeing God Through a Child’s (and Teen’s) Eyes
Religion is a funny thing. Everyone has an opinion on it, both good and bad. It’s been a staple of human behavior since our first introduction on Earth, and it still serves as a huge influence across the world today. Many use their respective religions to justify their actions and beliefs, a kind of tool…

Birthdays are an annual celebration of life, and serve as a reminder of how far someone has come in their journey. And a 25th birthday can be a big deal in many people’s eyes, marking that someone has made it to a quarter of a century. But what if your 25th birthday falls during the…

Reclaiming my identity as a creative
Over the past few years, I’ve been struggling. Honestly, struggling is kind of an understatement. Life has not been that easy, and nearly every day I reflect on what is going on and who I am as a person. I often ponder my past and all that has occurred in my story of life so…

Doing My Own Thing in Life: PSEO Program
One of the things that I pride myself most on is my sense of individuality. I often take the road less traveled, and deviate from the choices that many of my peers make. It’s a kind of journey that sees more alone time than camaraderie with others, but that doesn’t mean that it is inherently…
