Hummingbird

Several weeks ago, I waited outside in the cold to capture this tiny and yet beautiful creature. For almost an hour, I played catch with him. For some reason, he seems to know when I am distracted with something else and not looking. What else is there for me to do, but….to play along. Allow…

Riding Through Life

Nothing is ever too late. I never learned how to bike. My brothers didn’t get their first bike until they were in high school. I tried learning. But then, I was told that biking can take away a girl’s virginity and you know how important that was back then? So I quit. That.. and my…

The Day I Finally Grew Up

“I always thought I was a grown-up. It turned out, being a grown-up requires more than my thoughts that I am one…” I wish I could tell you exactly when that was….or what brought about the change. One day, I just woke up feeling like a different person. It’s that change that kind of slaps…
