A few weeks ago, my grandpa and I were talking about dried limes (and how weird they were) and he ended up sending me a package of them. They are the strangest looking things! They are hard and dark brown. They really don't look like limes anymore. XD (Also sorry about the horrible pictures. I … Continue reading An Adventure With Dried Limes

Random Life Update: July
Whew! July was really busy. I feel like this whole year has just been really busy - much more so than other years. At the beginning of the month was the 4th.

The Secret of Happiness
I recently read Nobody by Susan Warner. While it is technically in the romance genre, I really enjoyed it because there was a deeper question and theme that wound itself through the whole book – is it possible to buy happiness? Does happiness come from having money, possessions and a social status? I’ve thought about … Continue reading The Secret of Happiness

A World That No Longer Makes Sense
Tonight I came to the conclusion that life doesn’t make sense. I look around at this broken world and I wonder what happened? Where did the joy go? Why is there so much suffering and so little hope to combat it? Why is evil so prevalent and why does good seem so small? Is it … Continue reading A World That No Longer Makes Sense

9 Tips for Surviving Headaches
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had headaches. They got really bad and painful when I was eleven/twelve. Since then, they’ve been a frequent visitor to my little body.

Random Life Update: June
Where did June go? Man, you guys, this month just flew by. I blinked and the calendar had switched from June to July. It doesn't really feel like summer. It's hot, but it's also been insanely rainy.

To the misfits, the outcasts, the broken and the scarred
You’re lonely in a room full of people. You watch companionship from a distance and feel empty arms embrace you. Sometimes a single tear, sometimes a torrent, rushes down your hallow cheeks and stings your bruised lips. As you walk by rows of perfect people, you hang your head but still feel their stinging eyes … Continue reading To the misfits, the outcasts, the broken and the scarred
Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar (+ a recipe)
I absolutely love apple cider vinegar. It has a very acidic, unique taste and I don't know anyone else who likes it like I do or who likes it at all now that I come to think about it. My family is on a low-acid diet right now, so apple cider vinegar has gone far … Continue reading Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar (+ a recipe)

The Pained
Once upon a time, I took a walk. I was restless and searching for something – I didn’t know what. A few minutes from my house, I passed an old man. His right hand trembled. His left never stopped stroking the simple golden ring on his finger. His grey hair hid most of his face, … Continue reading The Pained

Looking To Belong
The sun was setting as we drove over the Gay Street Bridge in Knoxville, TN. The water far below us was so beautiful in the golden light. The clouds that stretched across the sky were tinted pink.

Why It’s Ok To Ask Why
For a very long time, I was under the impression that if I asked “why” or “how long” or if I was sad or angry about something that happened in life, then I was a terrible Christian. Because “good” Christians aren’t supposed to wonder why bad things happen. They’re just supposed to suck it up, … Continue reading Why It’s Ok To Ask Why
How Audiobooks Revolutionized My Schooling

There once was a girl who didn’t believe in heroes. While she mocked others for having them, she secretly longed for one.
