My Star
a love letter to Gracie Abrams ❤ You’re 15 and in your bedroom, scrolling through Instagram in an effort to distract yourself from the digital silence. The lack of text messages. Calls. Or any sort of contact from the people who want to believe are your close friends. But the phone never rings. The screen…

Protect Their Paws: An Exploration of Ethics in Dog Breeding
Happy Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! My senior year of high school for a final Capstone project I had the amazing opportunity of deep diving into the ethics (or non-ethics) of dog breeding, a topic I am highly passionate about (if you know me, you know).

Poem: October Bones
I wrote this poem two years ago (and I happened to have a broken hand when I wrote it, but ironically that is not what inspired it). It was originally titled “Autumn Tree Anatomy,” but I think I like “October Bones” better. I really don’t know for sure what it’s about but I think it…

We Made the Right Person Famous: Growing up with Tate McRae
I first met Tate in 2018, when I was 12 years old. I was not feeling too well, so I found myself laying on the couch mindlessly scrolling through YouTube videos on my laptop. I have always had a profound fascination with songwriting, so I clicked on a video that caught my attention titled “How…

Taylor Swift does NOT think “woe is me.” And certainly neither do I!!!!
I just had a thought that I really needed to type out. I’ve been in this high state of emotional conflict lately where I feel trapped between showing who I am and owning it, and shying away from it out of fear of how I could be perceived. Specifically regarding EDS. EDS has affected me…
