  Tomorrow marks a day of birth, mine to be exact. Though, I started life all over again almost 3 years ago. I’m still learning how to walk, still learning new things that go hand-in-hand with my independence. There is a song that is constantly stuck in my mind, mostly because Boss Baby is Harper’s favorite movie […]

    Back then, it was a day like every other. I had gotten off from work and headed home in my then boyfriend’s beatdown car-thing. I was tired, it was my third job and I had trained all day. I remember the smell of the old house that we lived in, masked by the […]

    Lately, my days have been filled with placing my valuables in boxes and sorting through the keeps, the giveaways, and the donations. It’s quite a satisfying feeling ridding my life of what I don’t need as well as the things that don’t make an impact on my life or actively make me happy […]

    Summer is finally upon us. The days when the first step you take outside melts your entire face off, where the humidity is at a solid 150%, but the love for Texas remains the same. Prior to my amputation, I was an adventurist – going to different states and sometimes just doing things […]

Losing a limb is an outrageously hard thing to go through, as most, if not all of us know. With having a limb amputated there comes a lot of emotions all bundled up and piled onto one beating heart. If you’re anything like me, you might look away from mirrors or your shadow on the […]

  To commemorate this beautiful Memorial Day, I would like to first start off by saying thank you to all of the men and women who have served our beautiful country and gave the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that we can live in a country that is full of opportunities. Thank you to those who […]

Hello! There is no real way to know how you’re feeling, but if you’re anything like I was you are probably not very happy right now. You’re probably still trying to figure out and wrap your head around the whole, having a limb removed thing. Perhaps you knew that it was to come before it […]

For a little update on what is currently going on in my life I’d like to start with a hallelujah! I am stoked that it is summer break. I seriously thought of registering for summer semester, but with most things, I procrastinated and registration kind of passed my sloth-like self up. So, here I am. […]
