an alligator with a mohawk

You know the phrase “it was like trying to fit a circle peg into a square hole”? Maybe you’ve heard it vice versa. Either way, the concept remains the same. Lately, I’ve been thinking about myself and how I “fit into” the world. To be honest, there are so many days where I wish I was a triangle, or a circle, or square. I would love to be able to slip right into something and never have to worry…

The Happiest Girl in the World "But she was still the happiest girl in the world. Because she knew. Someone, somewhere, was falling in love, taking their first breath, having their life changed by a single smile, and someone...somewhere...was having the best day of their life"

I still remain

The other day I did a 10 minute guided meditation on self forgiveness. It was the most challenging mediation session I’ve ever had. My body was completely still, but my face was twitching from the constant tears strolling down my face. I feel so lucky to have been loved by such a wonderful man. I also feel very lucky to be loved…

Post-graduation depression

Vulnerable picture, but I feel like it’s important to showcase. This was taken on one of the most difficult days for me. During my car ride home from Bloomington I was ebullient. The future was unclear, but I was ready to take on whatever was next. Also, I hardly ever get to visit my family, so that in itself was exciting. Annnd of course sleeping in a full size bed, jumping on the trampoline,…

Illinois Shakespeare Festival-Closure

I’ve already written two posts about ISF, but I feel like I can’t write about anything else until I’ve given ISF full closure. So here we go! #closuretime This summer was definitely a high for me, so much so that I a lot of the time I felt like I was living in a fantasy. If you know me well enough, you know I’m a person who likes to live in the moment. I don’t want to think about my upcoming…

The Trail

PREFACE: I’m a part of this poetry/writing group on Facebook called The Echoes Project. The whole idea is to listen to music and write. It’s a very small group and not very active, but today I was feeling inspired and thought I’d flex my poetry muscle a bit. Though I don’t consider myself an expert writer, but I do find writing incredibly therapeutic and important. Without further ado, here is…

Starstuff

Last night my mom came down to Bloomington to see Peter and the Starcatcher at the Illinois Shakespeare Festival. #Promo. After a ridiculous show filled with mishaps, laughter, and sirens, my mom took me to her car to give me a gift. I was a little confused on why I was getting one, considering I’m not a even a main actor in Peter. But, then again, my mom is one of the kindest people I know, so…

Passion

defined as a strong and barely controllable emotion. Throughout my entire life I have seen the world with wide eyes, hope, and optimism. I see all my challenges as opportunities, for change, perseverance, and incredible stories. If you know me well enough, you’ve probably seen me cry in the middle of a Panera because of an interaction I saw between a grandmother and her granddaughter. It…

Inspiration Entry #7: What makes you happy

In high school I had this stack of notebook paper on my nightstand. On each sheet of paper was a list of things that made me happy. I swear, there were well above 600 items on the list. I translated the list to the blog I had during the time so I could have a virtual copy of it. It warms my hear to know that high school Olivia was…
