I Used to Hate My Birthday…
I used to hate my birthday… I know that might sound weird to some people, but I’ve had a love hate relationship with my birthday for most of my life. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I began to enjoy my birthday—genuinely. What would make a person do such a thing? You may Continue reading

OpenAI & Studio Ghibli: What This Means for Artists
If you’ve been active on the internet at all over the past couple weeks, you would have seen yet another AI trend sweeping social media—everyone and their dog uploading pictures of themselves, memes and world events into Chat GPT to change that image into the art style of Studio Ghibli, and more specifically into the Continue reading

I Discovered A Writing Trope…
Hello World! It’s been several hot minutes since I’ve posted any content on this blog. I know I said, “new content in April,” but I feel like the more times I say something like that, I fail to meet that goal. So, apologies from me on that end, but I’m learning to not put as Continue reading

Turning Twenty-Two
Originally Published August 29, 2022 I’m officially level 22! And yes, I have listened to the famous Taylor Swift song several times today. In some ways, I can’t believe that I’m only twenty-two, because I tend to feel and act older than I actually am. I think that might be due to ‘oldest child syndrome.’ Continue reading

The Scribble Tree
Originally Published August 5, 2022 Sometimes writing doesn’t work to express what I feel. During those times I branch out into something different, like drawing.
