“To feel today what one felt yesterday isn’t to feel– it’s to remember today what was felt yesterday, to be today’s living corpse of what yesterday was lived and lost.” -Fernando Pessoa (Portuguese Poet) Maybe I’ve blogged this before. But whatever. It’s such a good quote. And it’s cool to me that his last name […]
One time several months ago, a friend asked me what my Top 10 MUST READ books were. I felt (and still feel) like it was a super somewhat unfair request to make, but I’ve been thinking about it ever since and have comprised a list I feel pretty ok about. (I do however remain of the […]
I’ve never read Haroun and the Sea of Stories, but I really loved the quote from it that they used for this “treehouse”. I think the sentiment is one of the most beautiful I’ve heard in a while. “He looked into the water and saw that it was made up of a thousand thousand thousand and one […]
I went to Cheekwood for the first time a few days ago with my friend Carrie (don’t worry R.F. we’ll go again!) And their current exhibit “Treehouses” was so so fun! I think I’ll share some of my favorites with the quotes they attached to them. If you have a chance to go to Cheekwood, […]

After I graduated with my degree in English I started to feel a little ashamed of some of the books I hadn’t read yet. It’s true, it’s probably more the fault of the small private Christian academy I attended in highschool than the fault of my university, but whether or not the Scarlet Letter is […]
So here’s where I am in my life. First of all, I made a “b” on both my close-reading paper and midterm for Shakespeare which is an amazing feat. (at all and for the first time taking The Woman, The Legend, Dr. Willis) I’ve been hearing the angel chorus all night. And it is at […]
So my friend Allison (super precious, creative blogger extraordinaire) does this thing sometimes where she shares her celebrity crushes. I saw a wonderful and beautifully heart-breaking movie called Bright Star Friday, and it got me thinking of some of the poets I would’ve loved to love. That in turn inspired me to follow in her […]
