then there’s you. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Family Night
I’m spending time with the family tonight. I live for friday pizza nights! We got pepperoni and supreme with motz sticks for an appetizer. Today I wanted to come home and rest, that’s just what I did.
Come Out Come Out Where Ever You Are
There’s this story you’ve been waiting to write. There’s these words that pop into your head as if they’ve lived there since before you were born. I don’t know where your words come from. Maybe they were there before you were born. What I do know is that words have power and sharing your storyContinue reading “Come Out Come Out Where Ever You Are”
For Us
If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. At the same time, doing what you love and maintaining that love takes vulnerability and consistency. In this world they’ll make you think that doing what you love is too expensive and loving what you do is childish. There was manyContinue reading “For Us”
Monster Creation
I’m here for you. In Frankenstein, we learn that a creation left unattended can turn into a monster. He wanders around looking for a sense of belonging. Looking for purpose, love, community.

Daily Habits

Comfort
Art Should Comfort the Disturbed and Disturb the Comfortable Cesar A. Cruz I appreciate this quote as a writer and creative because I want my writing to comfort those who need it. I’d love it if everyone liked my novel but what’s most important to me is that someone feels less alone after reading it.
And Play
The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can. Neil Gaiman All work and no play is no fun! I truly got to appreciate a moment of playContinue reading “And Play”
