HELLO MY DEARS! After a long time away from the blog due to a very intense season of dancing I am thrilled to come back and share with you again. Finally!
A few people have asked me when I would post on my blog again- sincerest apologies for the lack of explanation for my absence. It’s been quite the journey juggling my last year of high school, many rehearsals and performances at PNB, navigating friendships, and my first year living in Seattle. I’m happy to spend another Summer in Seattle and to take some time to rest my body and mind. I knew once Summer began and my first year in the professional division came to a close I would eventually come out of my writer’s block shell to start writing again.
I’ve been giving my return to the blog a lot of thought. The longer my hiatus grew, the more nerve-wracking it was for me to come back. I felt as though I had to return with some brilliant editorial think-piece. Putting pressure on a project that was supposed to be calm and simple in the first place. But sometimes I forget that it’s just a blog and a small circle of people see this, so why do I even give a damn if it’s good or not!
Because of this realization, I’ve decided that I will be posting more frequently. (Promise!) I also decided that I wanted to make some changes to how I post on here. Introducing more pieces of writing that I’ve been keeping to myself but have been too afraid to publish because of how different it is from my normal blog posts. Although I’ve taken a break from the blog, I haven’t stopped writing outside of it. And I’m excited to continue sharing with you. Instead of strictly doing long blog posts, I’m going to post shorter notes and anecdotes that touch on topics that I want to bring to light. Along with that, I’ll continue doing my normal blogs as well.

I think it’s important to never stop tinkering with ideas. Most of my inspiration when it comes to writing stems from a random thing. Sometimes that random thing that you keep thinking about means something.
Maybe that’s just how my mind works though. I enjoy making deeper meanings and finding signs in random things. Others might call that fixating. I’m just letting all the random things inspire me and my writing. But that is precisely why I’m compelled to show more sides of my writing. Showing more corners of my mind through my tinkerings.
Thoughts are powerful, sharing thoughts and having conversations are too. We’re diving deep this summer.
