Creativity keeps me sane.

As a child, I devoted hours to writing my own original poems and short stories; in my adolescence, my best friend and I used to write poetry together, line by line. I’ve had blogs – too many blogs, but I stopped writing in the Summer of ’12 as I went through a difficult personal transition.

This blog began as a form of catharsis; I just wanted to get my daily dose of 500 words in.  It’s within those words that I discover labyrinths of my personality that I either forgot or simply never knew.  Every time I write, I feel closer to whoever I am at my core – and the it’s a beautiful awakening.  What’s unexpected, however, is that I’ve been led towards a completely different rabbit hole and a drastically different life path.

I’ve been blessed with the opportunities to both work with and pen for various sites and I couldn’t be more over the moon. Thank you to everyone who saw something in me and felt something in my words; I feel privileged that I get to share them =)

Music Editorials + Reviews

 People often say the best lessons in life were taught to you  in Kindergarten and I 110% agree.  So, when I’m compiling and composing my reviews, I follow one simple rule that I learned back when I was a wee little one and it’s transitioned into what I like to call ‘Polite PR’: I only have nice things to say; so if you haven’t heard it here, don’t bother pressing play.
