Sometimes it’s the simplest words that say it best, you know? I remember when Evan and I were preparing to get married, we agreed that we wanted to write our own vows. It’s no surprise to anyone that we’d do something like that. I had been writing letters to him for the two years leadingContinue reading “Quarantine Diary: Love Letters”

Walking in the Fields
Feet on the ground. My feet are on the ground, and it’s a moment where I wish they weren’t. The perspective from right here sucks. I see you all plowing, planting, and fertilizing the soil under your own feet, and I don’t know what kind of fruit you’re looking to produce. I don’t even knowContinue reading “Walking in the Fields”
The Story of Us
The year I turned 18, I met the love of my life. Cheesy, I know. But it was for real. Terrified by how charming, witty, and attractive Evan was, I broke up with him the day after Valentine’s Day because I was a wimp. He wooed me again two months later, and the rest isContinue reading “The Story of Us”

I thought I’d compileContinue reading “4 Ways to Love Better”
Better Than Me
You split the sea so I could walk right through it. You drown my fears in perfect love. I was stumbling along my path today, just trying to make it to a moment when I could sit in the quiet and rest. It isn’t immediately apparent just how much I carry until I actually tryContinue reading “Better Than Me”
Love Thyself
I’ve never really cared about Valentine’s Day. I even broke up with my husband the day after Valentine’s Day, a few weeks after we first started dating. (At least it turned out okay.) When I was in high school, you could buy a rose made from Hershey’s Kisses to send to someone on Valentine’s Day.Continue reading “Love Thyself”
