I had just left one bad relationship, and already had my heart broken within a few months.Continue reading “How I Became Scarlet”

I Can’t Pick Just One!
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? I’m not sure of my absolute favorite book, but what immediately popped out to me was The Magic Treehouse series and The Bailey School Kids books. The Magic Treehouse always piqued my interest as a kid because I have always loved history. The Bailey School Kids storiesContinue reading “I Can’t Pick Just One!”
Just A Short List
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why? I actually wanted to write a post about my top 5 books after I’d read them again and taken notes. I’ll just make this quick for now. 1.

Everything Scares Me, But I’m Still Brave
What fears have you overcome and how? I have a relevant post I’ve written on facing your fears before I begin here, so check it out if you please! I used to be completely controlled by fear.

Battling the Brain Rot
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? When I find myself just sort of mindlessly scrolling and not absorbing anything, or compulsively checking apps I just checked, it’s time to put the phone down. I like to play one of my instruments to come backContinue reading “Battling the Brain Rot”
The Greatest Job of My Life
What jobs have you had? I’ve never had any jobs worth talking about in the sense of making money. Only minimum wage or slightly above minimum wage gigs that made me feel like a soulless worker drone and lasted mere months. My job currently is that of a stay at home mother to two beautifulContinue reading “The Greatest Job of My Life”
Trimming the Fat: From Christian, to Anti-Theist, to Who I Am
Do you practice religion? The short answer is no, although I consider myself spiritual. However, I think whoever actually bothers to click on this may be more interested in the long answer. So if that is you, hello! Thank you for joining me. Religion and I are very well-acquainted. I grew up going to churchContinue reading “Trimming the Fat: From Christian, to Anti-Theist, to Who I Am”
A Simpler Time
Do you remember life before the internet? I was born the year the internet became available to the public, but during the first 7 or 8 years of my life, I didn’t know what it was or that it even existed. Even after I learned about it in school, most people I knew didn’t haveContinue reading “A Simpler Time”
Balancing Humility and Pride
What are you good at? This is a hard question for me to answer, to be honest. Not because I don’t think I’m good at anything, but because it requires me to be vulnerable. Which, I’ve come to realize, is that shadowy abyss I must venture into in order to become the best version ofContinue reading “Balancing Humility and Pride”
