Exploring the beauty of life, the joy of love, and the magic of reading and writing.
This is a burning haibun that I wrote for my poetry class last year, but I felt like this poem was a fitting way to start a new school year, so I wanted to share it. A burning haibun is like a poetic prose piece that slowly gets erased or “burned” away. It consists of three parts, the first is …
Hi, Lovelies. This is my first entry of random thoughts from Lexa. It’s just going to be a series of random thoughts, rants, and ideas that come to me. Sometimes, it may be a poem or an old writing of mine. Other times an old journal entry of mine. Often, it’ll just be musings and deep thoughts that come to …
Hi, Lovelies. I recently came back from my trip to Maine and it was amazing. Shout out to my friend Lizzy, who showed me her beautiful town. Now unfortunately, we were two hours away from the ocean and we didn’t manage to go to the beach, but just being able to be surrounded by stunning lakes and rippling streams was …
Hi, Lovelies. This is my last summer. After this summer, I’m going to be a senior and graduate from college. From there, I plan on traveling the world, hopefully teach English in foreign countries. I’ve been struggling finding a job because few places just want to hire for the summer and I live in a small town where my only …
Hi, Lovelies. Getting rejected sucks, but it’s just something that comes with being a writer. And let’s be honest; life. As a college student, I probably would have gotten rejected by colleges if I had bothered applying for others. I’ve got rejected from so many scholarships, which wasn’t hurtful as much as disappointing because it meant that I didn’t get …

Definitions The Cambridge Dictionary describes mentorship as “the activity of giving a younger or less experienced person help and advice over a period of time, especially at work or school.” And Merriam Webster Dictionary defines it …
Hi, Lovelies. I am back from hiatus. I know that I’ve been gone for a while because I decided to take a break while I was focusing on college life. However, now it’s summer and I’m so excited to write new posts and continue sharing my love for stories, books, and writing. Since I just came back from my junior …
Merry Christmas, Lovelies! Today is the last day of my series 12 books until Christmas or more accurately 12 books of Christmas. I was a little behind the clock as I was writing these, but I hoped you enjoyed them anyway. For the final day, we’re doing a book that I really wanted to read, but couldn’t because I couldn’t …
Hi, Lovelies. This is the second to last day of my 12 Books Until Christmas series and I’m excited to do another murder mystery. This one is about spending the holidays with family and the feeling that sometimes you just want to strangle them. The book is called 12 Ways to Kill Your Family at Christmas by Natasha Bache. A …
Hi, Lovelies. Today, we’re doing another mystery. It’s called The Twelve Days of Murder by Andreina Cordani. Now, I haven’t read this one yet, but it sounds really interesting and is on my to-read list. I’m not huge on mysteries, but the book almost gives me Truly Devious vibes. It’s a young adult mystery series by Maureen Johnson. She did …
