Bio
I'm not the most sophisticated adult out there. I'm also not the best at communicating all the time, but I do try my best to get my thoughts out there into the world verbally or nonverbally.

No Such Thing as Pure
The curtains on my eyes spread open. I sat up in bed with my hand on my chest and looked over at Justin sleeping on my right. I lifted my hand and stroked his hair, gazing at his blissful face with familiar eyes of love for him and envy that he could sleep without much to worry about. That night wasn’t my first time seeing the Devil in my sleep, but it was my first time in years that I felt anxious after seeing him. I could still hear the last words spoken before I woke up:

Adventuring Done by the Jurgys
There are people who take action in seizing what life and the world have to offer and those who only think of that idea. Amongst the middle ground resides the traveling Internet influencers known as the Jurgys. Married couple Bryce and Nellie Jurgy (and now their daughter, Avalyn) travel to different places in the country and world to explore the possibilities they have to offer on their never-ending journey to encourage others to go out and make adventures of their own. From driving a tank in Minnesota to doing yoga in the midst of a traffic jam in winter to riding a hot air balloon in Paris or even bracing an event called "Slide the City," they do whatever it takes to help motivate potential explorers and adventurers.

The Half-Angel Among Us
I was heading home after my shift at the library ended. If not for the fact that I did a lot of binge reading there since I was 18 and could legally leave the orphanage, I would've been a lot more worried than I am when it came to helping some of the visitors study for their finals. As I witnessed the sun setting on my way home, I took some deep breaths while remembering that the sky will turn dark, meaning the angels will appear in the skies seeming like stars. I'd been trying to improve on not being too concerned about a portion of the angels not approving of my existence.

Stop the Nickelback Hate
No one is wrong for not being a super fan of certain genres of music. However, there has been a joke going on for who knows how long, about Nickelback being hated by a lot of people. I might not be a big enough fan to listen to all of their songs, but I do know that the longer this joke carries on, the more likely people will dismiss the songs by them that are actually passionate, tell good stories, or have good messages within them.

Perspectives of She Who Wished to Be Perfect
Cheri and I had never fought before. In fact, to prevent most conflicts in our relationship, we mostly resorted to compromises when we reached disagreements, we allowed each other to have social lives beyond our relationship, and she even recommended we keep locator apps on each other's phones to evade rapid texts asking where we were. I guess we weren't prepared for everything, though.

Patton's Encounter with 'Candle Cove'
Patton's POV I found this really interesting show while channel surfing the other day. My cookies were in the oven and everyone was doing something with Thomas that I couldn't exactly remember, so I wanted to find some way to kill time. While channel surfing, I came across some show that consisted of a little girl and a puppet that looked like a pirate. It seemed like an old show, but it still intrigued me.

Quality Over Quantity
Chaos erupted in the Mind Palace the Sanders Sides reside in and the source of it was an argument between Roman and Virgil, which didn't surprise anyone anymore, but what somewhat stood out was the subject of the banter: what type of Christmas tree they should put up.
