Tuesday Tunesday: Somewhere I Belong

Since starting this blog, one of my main goals was to address mental health, and I've been really candid about sharing my own ups and downs, much of which started, unsurprisingly, when I began my freshman year of high school (what is it about that age???). I was experiencing so much and wasn't quite sure… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Somewhere I Belong

Kermit Says: You Should Go & Love Yourself

    During my junior year of college, I took a course called "Representations of Women in the Media."

Why are you beset with gloom? ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like… Continue reading Kermit Says: Rise

Kermit Says: Be Bold

As an English teacher, I’ve written this post with the idea of being interactive because, like in my classroom, this is not about me—this is about you. So, if I ask you a question, just give me what you’ve got, okay? What does it mean to be brave?  Now think about this next question: who… Continue reading Kermit Says: Be Bold
