"May I go to the bathroom?" This was my ticket, my ticket to freedom. Did I use my hall pass to go to the nearest bathroom at school? No, of course not. I took my own little adventure, I hopped gates and fences to walk along the flower beds to eventually slink my little self …
A Flower in a Whiskey Glass
"I forget that you're still a girl sometimes" That is def not the first nor will it be the last time I'll hear that. I've never been one to wear makeup, sit around to talk about boys or dream of my future wedding. Don't get me wrong, you will find me in a sundress, baking, …
An Ode to Corona
POV of a homeless millennial I'm not going to lie, I like to consider myself an intellect, but I studied kinesiology and had to google what an ode was. I'm also very stubborn and I'm going to call this an ode even though that's incorrect. Oh, Corona, I stare you square in the eye as …

I would not accept that these purple, snow capped rockies in our younger brother of a country (Canada) were the same size …
Badass or Baby?
"God, why was I being such a baby?!" "That move was so big and scary!" "I should have flashed* that "Don't let me 'take'* so much next time" My climbing partner just nods in compliance as I untie because he knows, no matter what he says it won't change the way I felt about that …
