Are You a "REAL" Artist?
It always amazes me how much power we give words. We see a lot of people writing an article and then saying in the article, “I just like to write, but I’m not a writer.”

Dating Advice for Those Who Swim Upstream
Dating is rough all around. Everyone’s experiences are so wildly different and yet every love story I’ve ever heard is relatable in one aspect or another.

The First Dance
I do not dance unless forced to.

I was a voyeur when it came to the art and was very happy about that. Then came University and most recently, my wedding.
