Letters In The Blossom Tree
Every spring, the tree begins to whisper. It stands at the edge of the park where the path curves gently toward the river, its branches spilling over the pale pink blossoms that drift down like quiet confessions.

Set Me Free
A plea A whine loud enough to break windows and attack clots of loss Deception embedded in my imperfections Neglection throned at my door A knock silenced by thorns Set free the spirit that shall guide greatness The ghost that is worshipped by stone cold reapers, who unfortunately fall at the Devil’s feet Set free…

Album Review: Harry Styles- Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally
Harry Styles Didn’t Make a Disco Album. He Made Something More Relatable. There’s no other place on earth like the sidewalk outside of a bar. I’ve perhaps spent more time there, in fact, than inside the bar. I’ve pressed my back against humidity-wet walls, let the night air cool my flushed cheeks, and tangle my…

A Love Letter To: Growing Up With Hilary Duff
