Depths, and all things Honduran
It is as though like clockwork that my deepest thoughts seem to invade my mind at 3am. As I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling above me, wishing it were a warm summer day and for all things like a Honduran summer, a rippling effect of questions came to mind. What brings you joy? […]

Girl, what do you see in him anyway?
This past Saturday I went to an orchard with some friends. I thought we would be doing a flashlight corn maze, which I was super excited about.
