One of my favorite things to do to escape the world is to watch One Piece. It’s a goofy anime about pirates that follow their dreams. Although it’s a cartoon, it does hit a lot of heavy topics: racism, corruption, defiled morals, so and so forth. In the Alabasta arc where the pirates are tryingContinue reading “Do What You Can”

The Derailing of an Exhausted Mind
Have you ever been so tired, you can’t sleep? You’re physically exhausted. Can’t stand to raise your arms or even walk and yet your mind–though dull–won’t let you enjoy the softness of your pillow? I’m at that point currently. It’s nowhere near midnight on a day that isn’t the day this post posted. I triedContinue reading “The Derailing of an Exhausted Mind”
Coats and Layers
The other day, I was working on a painting I’ve been envisioning for a long time. It’s a cute little tufted titmouse sitting in a redbud tree with a beautiful blue sky behind it. I started the painting years ago. I coated the canvas with a background of sky blue then started working on theContinue reading “Coats and Layers”
Your Worst Self
Can you recall a time you felt you were your worst self? Whether some event occurred that caused you to blow your top, or sob your eyes out. When are the times you know you could use some improvement? For me, it’s when I’m driving. Not only do I hate driving, but I tend toContinue reading “Your Worst Self”
Up to You
The other day, I found an old binder amongst my stuff. It was my drawing binder from when I was a kid. All the drawings and sketches I did on notebook paper ended up in this binder. I was going through it for the fun of it. A lot of drawings are objects from myContinue reading “Up to You”
Dream of a Loyal Friend
Lately, I’ve been having weird dreams. Stressful ones. Fun filled ones. Ones that don’t even make sense. Yet, one dream I had was pretty adventurous and I’ll probably save it as a story idea. I wanted to share it with you. I was at a college of sorts. There was a cafeteria, classrooms, high nosedContinue reading “Dream of a Loyal Friend”

Welcome to the last month of 2023. No matter how your year is going, I hope you can finish off strong. Take a look back at those resolutions we made in January and see what we can cross off the list. I managed to check off half of my dreams for this year. As forContinue reading “Happy December!”
Beauty in the Weeds
Do you remember when you were a kid? Do you remember playing outside in the grass? Going to the playground of your school and creating flower bracelets, necklaces, and crowns with your friends? And because there were never any actual flower around, you used dandelions, clovers, and the little plant with the purple stems comingContinue reading “Beauty in the Weeds”
I’m Thankful For…
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I’m a little glad it’s this time of year. I’ll be honest, it’s been a hard month, but I’m grateful for Thanksgiving and the reminder it offers. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what you have and be grateful for it. It’s a reminder to view the blessings in our life,Continue reading “I’m Thankful For…”
