Today, I woke up and found out that one of my uncles (on my mom’s side) passed away. My other uncles and a couple of my cousins came together to get him to the hospital, but he passed before he got there. A few years ago, he was a victim of a car accident and …

This year so far, I have read 57 books that consisted approximately a total 12,659 pages – much more than last year’s 26 books! 2020’s reading is a bit of a mix of everything. I embraced the classics back into my life. Classic literature had always been and will always be my favorite genre, but …
I miss you, Missy. Goodbyes are never easy.
I thought I knew grief and sadness. I thought I knew what it felt like for my heart to break. It turns out, I didn’t. Not really. I lost so many family members, some close family friends. But then, I was too young or I was too far away. I was somehow too detached to …
