Welcome to my writing portfolio.
Here you will find a collection of my current published pieces. For me, words have always been my saving grace and writing has always given me wings. Enjoy!
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE INSPIRED BY THE LOVE OF OTHERS
June 30, 2017
Witnessing others fall in love and stay in love, is a magical thing. It gives you hope that love still exists in the world.
THE HARDEST PART ABOUT LEAVING IS GOODBYE
June 26, 2017
I’ve never been the one to leave. I haven’t mastered the art of goodbyes.
HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD THANK GOD FOR UNANSWERED PRAYERS
June 16, 2017
I’ve always seen closed doors as a missed opportunity, as a, I’m sorry”, maybe next time. I’ve always felt so dissatisfied when things didn’t work out, when I didn’t get what I so desperately thought I wanted. But now, I’m starting to see the bigger picture.

THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR HEART OF GOLD
June 15, 2017
Know that your type will never go out of style. That the world thrives off the love you graciously give. You pour into all the half empty cups. Filling them up. Quenching their thirst.
IT'S OKAY TO NOT ALWAYS BE OKAY
June 7, 2017
I’ve always felt the need to be strong for everyone else. But right now, I need someone to be strong for me. I need someone to just simply say, “it’s going to be okay”.
SOMETIMES THE BEST THING WE CAN DO IS LEAVE
June 5, 2017
I don’t know that my life would ever be the same. I don’t know that I’d see these faces again. I don’t know that’d it be easier calling another place home.
I'M THE GIRL WHO WILL ALWAYS BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY ME
June 5, 2017
I’m that girl that tries to read a book and will probably never finish. I’m that girl that will stop in the middle of the street to pet a dog. I’m that girl that needs to be reminded you care. I’m that girl that doesn’t mind sitting in silence.
DON'T LET THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN HOLD YOU BACK BECAUSE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
June 1, 2017
It is the constant struggle of finding our place, only to be told we belong there no more. It’s trying to make our mark. Figuring out what steps to take, what hands to hold, and what decisions to make.
TO THE ONE I WILL ALWAYS KEEP DREAMING OF
May 30, 2017
In my wildest dreams, we were together and the world was perfect.
8 BIBLE VERSES THAT WILL BRING YOU THE HOPE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
May 25, 2017
So often we are figuring out ways to get ahead. Preparing for what comes next. Rarely are we ever still. But just imagine if we were. God says for us to be still.
YOU DESERVE MORE THAN THE CHASE, YOU DESERVE SOMEONE WHO STAYS
May 24, 2017
Your person isn’t the person you’ve been chasing. It isn’t the one you have to convince to stay around. It isn’t the person that has turned your areas of black and white to grey.
WHY AN ALMOST LOVE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH
May 23, 2017
You are a human being. You have a heart that beats for all things and a yearning for something good. They are not your something good.
IT'S TIME TO START PUTTING YOURSELF FIRST BECAUSE YOU MATTER
May 22, 2017
Stop being so hard on yourself. Be more forgiving and gentle with your own heart.
DON'T BE BITTER OVER YOUR FIRST LOVE, YOU'RE MUCH BETTER FOR IT
May 22, 2017
He was your first taste of love. He was the first chapter in your book. He was bitter and sweet. He was your first set of standards and expectations, even when they fell short.
BE STILL AND WAIT, FOR HE KNOWS WHAT COMES NEXT
May 18, 2017
This is my constant reminder, that there is no other place for me than right here, right now. There is no path that is better or greater.
LOVE, PLEASE LET ME DOWN EASY
May 17, 2017
I’m scared that people never really stay. I’m terrified that I’m going to lose you, while I’m still trying to figure out if I ever had you.
23 WAS THE YEAR THAT ALMOST BROKE ME (BUT HERE'S HOW I DIDN'T LET IT)
May 17, 2017
The age that I almost lost my courage and strength, but also the age where I found it. The age that changed everything.
SIGNS YOU'RE A HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON (AND WHY YOU SHOULD EMBRACE IT)
May 15, 2017
To us, everything matters on a much bigger scale. Every relationship, every person, every conversation.
HERE'S TO ALL MY FELLOW INTROVERTS- THIS IS FOR YOU
May 15, 2017
People don’t always get it. Why we don’t want to be a part of what’s going on, part of the rush. We’d rather just feel the rush from where we are.
HIS GRACE IS THE SILVER LINING YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
May 12, 2017
He doesn’t want to see us fail any more than we want too. He wants to sculpt us and lead us to Him.
THE HARD DAYS ARE THE ONES I'LL ALWAYS BE THE MOST GRATEFUL FOR
May 10, 2017
The days I wanted to quit. The days I said I was done. The days I wanted to turn around and run, far and fast.
FRIENDSHIP DOESN'T ALWAYS LAST FOREVER BUT I'M STILL THANKFUL FOR THE TIME WE HAD TOGETHER
May 10, 2017
We promised each other a future. A friendship that we would carry with us forever. We were the ones that always made it through. No matter the distance, the disagreements, or awkward tendencies. We made it through.
JUST BE PATIENT, THE TIMING OF YOUR LIFE ISN'T OFF
May 5, 2017
Don’t forget about the life you have, waiting for the one in your head.
LOVE MATTERS AND IT ALWAYS WILL
May 3, 2017
I hope you let yourself feel something, anything. I hope you forgive the broken heart that’s trying so hard to beat again.
LIFE IS ABOUT THE JOURNEY- DON'T RUSH IT
May 3, 2017
Take a pause in your life and recognize what you’re surrounded by. Love the people who have stuck with you, loved you, and encouraged you. Those are the people you must carry with you in your journey.
YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAVE PEOPLE
May 3, 2017
We don’t always notice the ones who need saving. Sometimes they’re the strong ones. The strongest person you may know. They wear the big smiles and carry the even bigger hearts.
I HOPE NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO STAY
April 25, 2017
You are already gripping the door handle, anticipating their departure. It’s over before it even begins. You don’t fully let them in and you only open up just enough. You’re scared that just as soon as you do, just as soon as your wall comes tumbling down they’ll leave, be gone.
THIS IS FOR THE ONES WHO FEEL EVERYTHING SO DEEPLY
April 25, 2017
I’d like to think that one-day the strength and love you try to give will be appreciated. That caring deeply for others will pay off.
