Welcome to my little corner of the internet! My goal with this little site is to serve as a way to share my writings and the aid resources I come across, to learn how html and css coding works, and to provide a safe space for those searching for a listening ear and comforting energy.

A friend of mine that I work with offhandedly mentioned her birthday was the following week. I immediately asked for her favorite animal and favorite color, to which she replied "elephant and purple?"

He has since been dubbed Zuri, because it means beautiful in Swahili.

My twin brother was dragged to see the Barbie movie with our mom, and he came back raving about how it was "the hardest I've laughed since Suicide Squad."
