Faith, If you’re reading this, that means time travel has been invented. If everything works out, you are 8 years old. It’s sometime in the fall. The leaves have almost completely fallen off the trees, leaving them bare in the way that makes you run out of the van and press your body up against…

Dear Tony Stark
*Warning: General Marvel and Endgame spoilers throughout* Dear Tony Stark, I’ve never really told anyone this, but I’ve always kinda wanted to be a super hero. I grew up in church being taught that it was my destiny to save people from hell by telling them about Jesus. I was always told I…

hello friend (I know its been a while)
hey. It’s been like three months since I’ve blogged. It’s been a while since I’ve seen many of my friends. It’s been a long time since I’ve been open and vulnerable. It’s just…it’s just been a while. Life has been insane. I barely know where to begin. I’ve been having a…

Tomorrow

All Your Heroes Are Frauds, Just Like You
The title comes from a song called “Clarity” by Andy Mineo. I’ve had it on repeat since it dropped, and while that’s not even close to the best, most thought provoking line in the song, it’s something that’s been on my mind. All my heroes are frauds, just like me. I haven’t been…
