“It really doesn’t get easier.”

Just a little over two weeks ago, I received a phone call from my mother in the morning that changed everything, in the most depressing way. Side Note: I wrote this post last night in the middle of overwhelming emotions. I may come back to edit it once I feel so much better. I wanted …

to my future lover: let me be

let me love myself before you even  introduce me your love   let me walk alone the alleys before you hold my hands through them   let me learn how to keep my head up without having you to hold my chin up   let me know myself before i get to know you it …

things change.

Nothing remains the same. Friendships, relationships, hair, hobbies and just life generally—it just sort of happens. I remember in summer 2013, after my last days of school ended, I came home impatiently waiting to have an amazing summer, just like I did the last year. I fixed my room like it was the year before, moved …

Mending: Unexpectedly

Two months ago, I got to participate at Rendezvous Plus for the first time ever in Vicksburg, Michigan, a retreat made for Nazarene MKs. It was one of the most life-changing experiences I’ve ever had. It would be so wrong of me to not share with the world what I’ve learned and experienced there, here …

Dare to Care

Nearly two months ago, I had the privilege to participate in another life-changing summer intensive in the lovely heart of Nashville, TN—Six8 Fellowship. It was another great experience and I know not how to explain all the significant knowledge I gained there yet. I really don't. I remember last year after attending Six8 Fellowship, heading …

show them love.

“…and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ 31 the second is equally important: ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’ no other commandment is greater than these.”  ― mark 12:31 nlt i will be writing this post today not only as a human …

Be Prepared

“The things that excite you are not random. They are connected to your purpose. Follow them.” (📷: faroe island, @dpcphotography) Whatever event you have to attend, there needs to be a preparation. Whatever it is that you have to cook or will be eating, there needs to be a preparation. Wherever you’re traveling to, there …

Dear 2017, I tried.

So many memories were made, I traveled to new places, met new people, started to learn new languages — I have grown. 2017 went by as the lightnings in the dark and deadly storm; such stupefying velocity, who on earth could’ve stopped it? It’s incredible that I’m already writing this post while we have 11 days …

a new beginning

this is it. it’s been racing in my mind for a good while, i have taken enough time to learn and think about, what it associates with and all the benefits it holds; i desire to practice minimalism. what is minimalism? before we get deeper in this post let me try to answer to that …

I Only Have Two Teenage Years Left

As of this moment, I am closer to my twenties more than ever, time has been fiercely racing on me and it’s haunting. Last month I turned seventeen. I wanted to slow down time at that very moment, I looked at myself in the mirror and started to overthink of how unwisely I’ve been increasingly …
