I can’t believe I’m working in Charleston for the summer. Win.
Got a question?

Where do you see yourself in five years?...
To be honest, I’m not 100 percent sure. I used to want to be in New York City, but I’ve been rethinking that goal for some time now. Location aside, I would like to be working as a journalist. Even if I decide to attend graduate school, I would like to be working in my field at the same time.
When it comes to relationships, I can’t really say. Matters of the heart are best...

What is your biggest regret?
My biggest regret is not believing in myself sooner. If I had believed in myself and had this confidence four years ago, I would probably not have found myself in some less than stellar situations. I probably would not have been such an emotional wreck in my past relationships compared to the current one. I may have more self-esteem. Maybe I wouldn’t be so dependent on what others thought...

Whose the one person you'll remember most in your...
I can tell you that at this point and time in my career, the person I know I’ll never forget is a man named Larry. He worked on multiple Apollo missions and the Hubble Space Telescope among other things. Talking with him was a real treat. Speaking with someone who played a role in such groundbreaking moments in American history reminded me how special it is to be a storyteller and a...

You are such a sweet girl.
Thanks! :) I try to credit that mainly to my parents. I don’t know how they did it.

They honestly and fully believed in me. That’s always the kindest thing someone can ever do for another person.

I wish I knew what was up with my self-esteem right now. It’s been unusually low.
I can honestly say that writing and receiving letters has brought me so much immeasurable joy. If you’ve never sent anyone a letter, do it. There is a kind of emotional rush about running out to the mailbox and wondering if today is the day that you’ll hear back from someone that you love. I can barely contain myself whenever I receive a letter from him. I hang onto every word...
I’m really taking a liking to watching movies and reading in the evening. It’s like I can feel myself getting older.

I leave for Charleston on Friday. That means, I’ll be out of this place in three days. I can’t fully believe it.
I ran out in the rain to send you a letter. My jeans are soaked, but my heart is warm.
Not for me
Since my time being at home again for this past week, I’ve realized that I have no desire to have a relationship or a marriage that even resembles the one that my parents have with one another. However, I have to mention, this is not a new realization. It’s something that I’ve always wondered growing up. I never knew why my friend’s parents seemed happier. I never...
I’ve been doing so well these past couple of weeks, but tonight I miss him very much. July can’t come quick enough.

This Thumbelina song was amazing to me.
Yeah, I'll tell you something
I wanna hold your hand.
Smile.
As of right now, I’ve still got plenty of writing to do. I need to write one more article if I can manage it and then tomorrow I’ll be spending the entire day writing for my Arts 310 class. Wish me luck. It’s almost summer!
