About This Blog

Everyone talks about the growing pains in your legs, but no one seems to talk about the pains of growing up—feeling left out, being stuck in that void between kid and adult, the uncomfortable mental and emotional feelings. 

I started this blog as a way to journal my feelings and remind other teens that these years aren't supposed to always feel the way Disney movies told us they would. We're not always irrational, tall children who only talk in slang nonsense; sometimes, we cry because we just feel like crying, we want to eat everything in sight and then cry about how we ate too much, we feel stuck between responsibility and being ignored, and the moment we ask for help, we’re suddenly incapable children.

If you feel the same, then you're in the right place. 

About Me

If you're going to read about my inner thoughts and feelings, you might as well know a bit about me. 

I'm a walking oxymoron: I love Chemistry and English, Strawberry Shortcake and Neil deGrasse Tyson, theology and science. I can’t say no to a Wendy’s burger, but eating red meat makes me feel guilty.

I hope to become a healthcare innovator and entrepreneur with a focus on mental health advocacy—I'm the weirdo that loves being in the hospital, but almost puked at the thought of seeing a c-section.
