STANDING IN THE ASHES

I knew I was unhappy for a long time but was terrified to admit it to myself because I didn't know what was to come if I changed. And honestly, I've changed so much so quickly. My interests, my dreams, my passions. I'm not who I was and I've changed for the better, but I was forcing myself to stay as a version I had outgrown.

LIFESTYLE

I have always been a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and I strongly believe that Bodie was meant to be my dog. I had wanted my own furry friend for years, but was just waiting for the right time. This past winter, I had been going through a really hard season of life, and I told one of my friends who was over at my apartment hanging out with me that I really wanted to go to the Humane Society to look at some animals. I didn't think that I would actually find one that I connected with.

TRAVEL

Maybe my interests were evolving as I grew older, or maybe traveling the world was something I always wanted to do but never allowed myself to dream of. Last summer I did something that came as a shock to myself, and especially to my mom; I decided to apply for a short-term study abroad trip with my university, and I was accepted. I went back and forth for months deciding if this was truly something I wanted to do, and at one point I decided I wasn't going to go. However, after going through a very difficult breakup, I decided I needed to get as far away from home as possible and decided Italy and Greece were the answer.

HOME

I recently moved to the Twin Cities over the summer, and this is the first home I have lived in entirely on my own! I was set on wanting to live alone for many reasons, but one of the biggest being that I wanted to curate my space to be something that's authentically me. I love home design and have watched way too much HGTV in my lifetime, so that being said I really poured my heart into this space and am excited to give you all a tour!

FASHION

SPORTS

When I was in the seventh grade, I vividly remember our school's principal giving a speech in the auditorium saying how seventh grade is when you find out what you want to be when you grow up. He mentioned his daughter always loved to fly, and decided that when she was in the seventh grade, she was going to be a pilot, and she eventually saw her dream to the end and became one. As for me, I was convinced I was going to be a professional volleyball player in the AVP. I had just taken up volleyball as a sport in the sixth grade, and absolutely loved the game. Not to mention, Kerri Walsh and Misty May were my idols. I know most people didn't become what they thought they were going to be back in the seventh grade, but I did.
