It’s not our fault America is the way that it is but at some point we must have the strength to look at ourselves and acknowledge our past so we can fix the present and future. What’s American Hurt about? It’s not an anti-American poetry book but it’s a look in the mirror. It’s me…

Confidence, Choas, and Childhood Clarity
From the moment the sun kissed my skin my mom knew I’d be a little different. Her only girl who seemed to live a world of my own. I fell in love with words as a library kid visiting worlds before I could even ride a bike. Every kid got in trouble but my mischief…
Cheers to Your Failures
When’s the last time you failed at something? You gave it your all and everything still fell to pieces. Applaud yourself for trying, don’t give up, and just know that no one is out here highlighting their failures on social media. Every failure I’ve experience humbled me and gave me motivation to grow stronger. I’m…
Return to Sender and Why Breakups Aren’t Failures
I self-published Return to Sender October 2018, but the book took a few years of collecting and reflecting the emotions from my first serious relationship. It follows me and at my most vulnerable points. There was purpose in the organization of the poems as the book reads like a story. It starts in the heat…
Self-Confidence Wasn’t Built in a Day
Fun fact: No one really knows what they’re doing! The universe isn’t conspiring against you. In the age of instant gratification society thinks everything should happen within two days of asking for it. That is not the case with inner self-care. You can read every self-help book out there but unless you’re willing to put…

Stop Running Out of Money & Run Out of Month
I have an okay high school education and excellent college degree yet no one ever taught me about money. I however mastered the art of finding x in algebra, creating a sound structure with Popsicle sticks, how to microwave Pop-Tarts, and extensively studied the connection between South Park and the philosophy of logic. All this…
The Millennials Are Exhausted
Millennial burnout should be called exhaustion. As an overstimulated and over educated generation, we are exhausted. We’re working twice as hard as generations before us to level a playing field that wasn’t set up for us to win. Honestly, I’m not even sure if adulting is even the same game as it the generations before…
United States Wealthcare is a Turf War
Was United States healthcare ever truly invested in health? No one exactly knows when it became wealthcare or maybe it was always set up this way as capitalism is the American Way. I wasn’t surprised when a recent report named US Healthcare as the worst in the developed world. As someone who has health insurance…
Career Advice from a Millennial
My elbow isn’t broken anymore so I can type better which means my backlog of handwritten blogs is coming at you. I am in no way a career expert but I’ve done the hiring and I’ve been hired so that makes me a little qualified. I gave up on the title of this and didn’t…
