Every mortal being experiences seasons of rise and fall, of light and dark, of pain and purpose, and defeat and victory.

Tea of Warmth
It was a grey day in Plymouth, a day when the rain didn't just fall; it seemed to hover as if it were something solid that you could touch. It seeped into everything and everyone.

Of Monsters and Women
Oh, I’m so ecstatic to delve into the mastermind behind the worlds first science fiction thriller, and legendary monster icon, Frankenstein. Not only was Frankenstein written by a woman, but it was written around the severity and importance of mental health. In fact, I think the entire essence of the gothic novel is based solely on mental health. Mary Shelley creates the monster a yearning, and melancholic character. If you haven’t read Frankenstein it is a freaking phenomenal piece of literature.
