I'm just a twenty one year old girl who loves too much, hopes endlessly, and writes to bring people a sense of acceptance in our crazy world that can sometimes be difficult. I write to bring a sense of comfort when you least expect it, kindness when you feel no one else has given it to you, and above all; hope. Along with being an aspiring writer, I'm a songwriting major and hope that one day my songs can change lives too. I think it's important in our world for people to accept that it's okay to not be okay sometimes, to look at the small things in life that bring you joy, and to love yourself in every way possible. Happiness can be the smallest of things, so go get your favorite latte, have dance parties in your kitchen to Taylor Swift and re-read novels. Happiness is just that.
