  • What makes you feel nostalgic? I’m old I guess. It doesn’t feel like I’m old but simultaneously I’m reminded of it when I think of something that I thought wasn’t that long ago and realize it’s been 20+ years. I’m nostalgic for a time before Facebook and instagram, Tik Tok, Snapchat, and Twitter. I feel…

  • Dreams Are Solace For Our Reality

    Write about your dream home. My dream home is a conundrum. It is both a country expanse, nothing too fancy, but a beautiful and productive garden. It is also a flat in the middle of Salerno, looking out towards the Amalfi Coast. It’s both cozy and majestic. It’s not too flashy. It’s an average place…

    Making moves In Silence

    You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do? just hang up from a life changing call. My hands are vibrating as I set down the phone.

    I’ve always envied people who had big families. Growing up I spent so much time alone wishing I had a sibling or cousins or anyone. Instead, my mom tried to be my friend and I had our dog. I often feel that the reason I am unfamiliar with the meaning of boredom is because I…

  • Every road leads somewhere

    Think back on your most memorable road trip. I can’t pick just one memorable road trip. Ever since I was little, we would pack up our suitcases and drive the two day drive to Florida or the Carolinas. Sure we flew sometimes, but my mom tended to get sick on planes, so we usually chose…

  • Kicking The Habit Of Consumerism. A Year Of Change.

    It’s new years as shocking as it might be, yet another year has passed us by and boy do they seem to fly faster and faster. I like to say that I usually don’t fall for the typical New Year’s resolutions bandwagon, only to give up after a few weeks. But this year is a…
