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. 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. I had another lesson that I’ve learned from college, but realized that it deserves its own blog post. It is about mentorship.

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 …

But I’m here, so let’s dive into Day 8. Today, we are doing my absolute favorite Christmas book. It’s called The Afterlife of Holly …
Hi, Lovelies. My birthday is today; October 13th. I’m turning 20, or as my roommate says 2 decades. So to celebrate, I wanted to tell you my adoption story. A fun fact about me:While my birthday is legally October 13th, I don’t know my real birthday. That’s just the date on my birth certificate. You’ll find out why in a …
Hi, Lovelies. On October 6th, it is the Chinese Moon Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival. I was adopted from China, so while I have always felt a disconnect from my culture, the tale of the Chinese Moon Goddess was one of the first I had ever learned. And I just absolutely love the story and want to share the story …
Hi, Lovelies. College is really hard. And I guess I already know that, but it just feels different when you’re like living on campus cause now it’s not just school, it’s also work and relationships and living on your own. I don’t know. Right now, I’m feel like I’m struggling. And I had a hard time figuring out what to …
Hi, Lovelies. (Note; This post was supposed to be published on August 14th, but apparently, I had technical difficulties with my blog. Thanks for your patience. I’ll be sure to post more soon.) It’s been an absolutely chaotic past two weeks as I say my goodbyes to everyone and pack all my stuff up. I’m going off to college! Well, …
