It's How You Survive
It’s 6:05PM in Seattle and you’re curled up on the floor in front of the couch, watching the world pass by around you. Traffic seems to be moving in slow motion tonight, as the city lights up right before your eyes. And you know you should be getting ready to go out for a night on the town, but in this moment, all you want to do is slip back into your pajamas, find a fitting song...

Before You Were You
“What are you thinking about?” He asked, turning to look at her, that familiar, boyish grin crossing his lips.
She looked down at her hands, clasped together in her lap, and she thought carefully about how she would answer his question. She would be honest, but she didn’t want to scare him or put him in the position of feeling any obligation toward her when all was said and...

Lesson Unlearned
I really like this guy, I have for the last few months. Lots of smiles, butterflies in my tummy, the whole shebang. It was strange and exciting, because I haven’t actually liked someone in well over a year.
But now, after months of talking to him, of allowing myself to be slightly more vulnerable than usual, after letting myself fall for him a little too much… I’m here and...

Seattle Adventures: Day 01-02
My first day of break in Seattle started so awfully! We got a flat tire and, of course, as we pull over to change it, it starts pouring rain. I think we probably only spent five minutes trying to figure out how to use the jack before I was completely soaked. Winters in Yakima, I tend to only prepare for the cold, so I have a lot of warm clothes. Here, it’s not as cold as Yakima has been (we...

Hello, Seattle
It is 4:05AM and I’m currently unable to sleep, but then, what else is new?
I leave for the city in a few days, and honestly, I couldn’t be more… Relieved. That’s a good word for this. You don’t know how many times I’ve contemplated the idea of not coming back in the last few weeks. What if I didn’t? What if I just stayed? What if I just decided to make...

I Don't Want to Fall in Love
My views on love and relationships have changed so much over the course of the last couple of years, and it feels so strange.
I still want all the silly, little things I wanted before. I still have yet to watch a sunrise or sunset with someone I like. I still want to dance in the headlights to no music on the side of the road. I still want to take someone with me on my travels and get lost in...
tinyywhispers asked: Youre welcome. I completely agree with you. I think we have a lot more in common then I had originally realized. Any time you need someone to talk to, it may not be (for a lack of a better word) your first choice. But I am always here. I may not be able to fix everything but I am an incredible listener.

tinyywhispers asked: I contemplated posting as anonymous but I didnt want to take away from the meaning of my "question". Which is actually more of a statement. You & I may not be "friends" but I still look up to you as a person. I look to you for inspiration along with your writing. I just wanted to say thank you. (:
Sit Down and Shut Up.
I feel like I’m more inexperienced than I should be at twenty-one years old and I’m always questioning just when it’ll be that I fly off the handlebars. There’s so much I want to do with my life, but I’m so busy planning and calculating my next step, that I’m never really just living, because failure hasn’t felt like an option; it hasn’t even felt...
