I live for unexpected experiences and good food! As a cultural-enthusiast and linguaphile, my studies and passions have taken me around the world. I teach English as a foreign language and I believe that language is beyond powerful.

What the soul wants
My soul belongs elsewhere Where umber streets Make serpentine twists Where I feel transported back to a time When nobody knew today's strives

You mean, I can still have CHEESECAKE?!
I'll be the first to admit that I have such a sweet tooth. Desserts are my demise. They are the reason why I gained a LOT of weight when I studied abroad in France and Italy. But, when I came home and decided to commit to a vegan lifestyle, the pounds quickly fell off because I was no longer stuffing my body full with artery clogging buttery and cheesy treats.

The Eyes I Want
The Eyes I Want Icy, frigid, cold Those blue eyes Stormy seas and shipwrecked dreams Those blue eyes Crinkles surround Those blue eyes Falsely genuine Those blue eyes They stare at me and tell me I’m crazy Wrong Manipulative Those blue eyes They tell me that they have not hurt me Those blue eyes They tell me that my feelings are irrational Those blue eyes They tell me that no other eyes will love me like they do Those blue eyes They aren’t like These brown eyes That tell me I’m safe These brown eyes that are Warm, welcoming, inspiring These brown eyes They stare at me and tell me that I’m worth it Beautiful Sane These brown eyes tell me that my brown eyes aren’t scary These brown eyes They gaze at me with reverence Warmth Security These brown eyes Are the ones I want looking at me

An Old Soul In Old Dresses
I've always felt like an old soul. Like I didn't fit in with my peers. Like I was born in the wrong era. Some of that might be true, but I know a lot of people feel the same way.

Ask For Help
As an independent and introverted perfectionist, I have always had trouble asking for help. In school, I avoided teachers’ office hours like the plague, not because I didn’t love my teachers, but because I was so afraid to ask for help. A lot of that was due to not wanting to be seen as a fraud. I so badly feared that by going to chat with a teacher outside of class, they would see how unprepared I truly felt. And a lot of the time I was underprepared.

A Much Kneaded Romance
It was mid-evening of a fresh October day, and this had quickly become Scarlette's favorite time of year here in Montreal. The leaves were displaying a gorgeous array of rich hues, but yet they all still clung onto the trees as if to preserve their beauty for the rest of us to enjoy. She surely did enjoy its glory as she walked down the cool streets of her new town.

Nebbia: The Diary of a Stoner
Preface December 23, 2020 I know it’s been a long time since I’ve written in here, but after what I saw today… I need to just write it down to work through my feelings.

The Best Worst First Date... Part 1
I had waited six years for this date. I kid you not. Six years and a lot of pining. Embarrassingly obvious yearning, not only to my high school acquaintances but also to him.
