#Kenzietravels
It all started on August third, though the first post wouldn’t be seen until the 12th. A young woman was found dead in her family home. It was an overdose. A painful day for her family and friends. With a person so small and a heart so big, it was going to be difficult to find a proper way to say goodbye. Yet somehow, they did.

A Review of 'Trench'
As I lay here in bed this morning, there is only one thing on my mind—one of my favorite bands has just dropped a new album and I have’t listened to it yet. Three clicks and a cup of coffee later, I’m on Spotify, bracing myself. I haven’t heard anything but their singles yet, and wondered how they would fit into the narrative of the story that lead singer, Tyler Joseph, always tries to tell.

Asexual Representation in 'Bojack Horseman'
When I first started watching the Netflix original series Bojack Horseman I did not have high expectations. I was a little bit drunk and looking for some background noise while I painted. I did not expect to get genuinely invested in the characters. I thought I’d be able to leave the series proud of them, instead I was left with an overwhelming sense of dread at how real the characters were. For talking cartoon animals, they all had a way of connecting with the worst side of myself.

Discovering My Gender Fluid Identity
When a person is trying to discover themself, they are trying to find something solid. A single word to describe themselves. When it comes to being gender fluid, it’s like trying to find a puzzle piece that keeps changing shape.

How to Keep Love Around
So you think you’re in love. It’s that feeling in your chest, right? Those sparks that fly whenever you look at your partner? The need to be with them every single day? Perhaps this is correct. After all, this infatuation is what romance novels describe as love. It’s when you see someone and instantly know that they are the one for you. That’s what we’re taught anyways. Then those feelings begin to fade and you realize that their cute laugh is obnoxious and their messy tendencies are actually slobbish. Everything that made them beautiful is now, well, annoying.

Planning for Florida
Here's the thing about deciding to travel. The need can hit you at any moment; and all of a sudden you've got this itch, and whenever you're driving to work this thought lingers in your mind. "I could leave right now," you think, "I could leave now and when I come back I'll be someone new..." Please don't follow this urge. As incredibly tempting as it is, please set a plan and wait until you have the money.

Singing the Pain Away
Although I only started learning how to play an instrument less than a year ago, I’ve been trying to write songs for years. It was something that I aspired to. Musicians don’t make much, lonely musicians make even less. But poetry and tune came naturally even when I didn’t know how to make them sound quite good. I still struggle with this, but I’m improving slowly.

Dear Customers
Let me start this off by saying, if you think that this letter isn’t for you, it’s probably for you. I’m not about to be nice, because one thing is for sure: I’m tired. This is for every customer who has yelled at an employee and made them cry or destroyed a display to set their drink down. This is for the people who believe that retail workers are beneath them, and that they can treat us like garbage because of that. So sit back and listen, because you need to get the education that you tend to believe we don’t have.

Adventure for Us
Ever since we were little, my sister, Mackenzie, and I went on adventures. We went everywhere together and were considered to be inseparable by most. With only a years difference between us, we were closer than any of our other siblings, and we knew it. Of course, we fought, but it wasn’t often.

Writing a Song
I started playing ukulele 10 months ago. It was a creative outlet for me in a place where I felt trapped. Oftentimes, I would wait until I was alone in the house before searching some easy tabs on the internet and attempting to strum them out. I’ve always loved music, but I’ve never felt the need to write anything for myself. Copying was easier anyways. It was a way to learn how to recognize the differences between the notes and pick up the patterns when strumming.

Everything I Never Got to Say
It's been nearly three weeks now. Three weeks since the day I learned that you were gone. For most of this time, it hasn't felt real. It's' felt... I dunno... Like I'm trapped in this parallel universe where everything is the same but something is just slightly off. Like you're at a friend's house, not ashes. And all I can think is that... Thank god they didn't bury you. You would've hated it so much. Thank god they're letting you travel.
