We are NOT alone
I did not fit in. I am not someone who blends in with the crowd easily. My personality exudes eccentricity. I’m nerdy, love art, and fangirl over books. Younger me tried as hard as she could to fit in. But standing before my middle school mirror smudged and scratched with vandalism, I hated what I saw. And I wanted control; it was my high.

Live Your Own Creativity
I've always wondered if there were a job that would combine all my passions into one calling: art, writing, and yoga. The obvious one would be a picture book or a comic book about yoga. But both unfortunately and fortunately for me, I have never been one to pick the obvious route. And most of the time, the hobbies that I love to do often combine at most two out of three of my enjoyments.

The Fiery Heart
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. And Luna assumed she knew all too well the hateful world she now thrived in. She knew there was no escape, but she had to try. Had to do anything she could to get back to him ...

The Cut-up Poem. Top Story - June 2021.
WRITING A CENTO Writing is my passion, my craft, my life, my hobby, my career, and so on. It constantly supplies me with love, happiness, and overwhelming stress (do any of your loves and passions not stress you out?). The best part about writing is the challenging intensity that comes with constantly creating new art and life through words.

Wildlife in my Garden
Like most people, I went stir-crazy during the pandemic. I'm typically used to jet-setting on adventures, but instead I had to find the adventure in my own garden. I was extremely lucky that I was isolated with an outside space, where I was able to write outside with my camera or phone next to me. I was ready to capture the amazing happenings of nature, literally at my doorstep. The lack of human movement caused wildlife to flourish. I saw nature take on the dominant role and thrive, all from my garden in New Jersey.

Pride, Power, Purity Playlist
For this playlist, I'm departing from my comfort zone. As a queer woman, I tend towards Musical Theatre bops like "Tonight Belongs to You" from PROM and "Take Me or Leave Me" from RENT and most songs from KINKY BOOTS. But for this PRIDE playlist, I'm breaking down my favourite party/dance and chilled/feels Pride songs!!! For this list, each artist will only have one song, even though some of the artists that I've listed are well-known Queer Advocates.

Strawberry Banana Bread
VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE (GF) STRAWBERRY BANANA BREAD I love to bake, and during lockdown I made it my GF mission to bake tasty, healthy, vegan, GF, desserts. One of my new inventions was my Strawberry, Banana Bread. My dad usually can’t eat strawberries, yet because I cut them so finely they didn’t upset his stomach at all! Everyone in my family loves this bread, and I may have the fussiest family ever for eating food. As always, I want to give credit where credit is due. I find multiple recipes on Pinterest, and then I twist them into my own recipes and concoctions! I also don’t use regular teaspoon, tablespoon measurements, and instead always use dessert spoons, and serving spoons … and I use the splash, dash metric for extracts, spices and herbs.

From Thanksgiving to Every Special Occasion
"VEGAN GLUTEN FREE PECAN PIE" My dad and I being gluten free and sensitive to dairy has made my creative vegan-baker bulb flash above my head for years now. My most recent discovery and creation is my gluten free (GF) vegan, pecan pie!! It has somehow wormed its way into every holiday. Whenever I am manifesting a new recipe, I pull variations from multiple recipes from Pinterest to forge one of my own creations! And fair warning, I never use tablespoons and use household serving spoons or dessert spoons for my measurements! I tend to splash and dash things into the pie, so make your best judgement! *shrugging emoji*
