So here it is! Part two and the rest of the places I went to in the US. If you haven’t read part 1, it’s here. 4. Kentucky After LA, I headed to Kentucky to visit one of my oldest and closest friends, Autumn Horton. Autumn and I met online when we were 13 or…
Growing up, my dad told us a lot of stories about his adventures and travels. I was always fascinated by the things he’s seen and places he’s been and could never get tired of hearing his stories. It made me want my own adventures, it made me want to travel the world. For the longest time,…
Last week’s theme for the 52 Week Project was dance. I started looking up different kinds of dances but in the back of my mind I thought I’m definitely going to do something based on ballet. Ballet just seems so graceful and beautiful. I kept looking at pictures until I saw some of aerial dances…

Last time I posted a picture for the 52 Week Project, I said that I’d do two new pictures to make up for being late with the last one. The themes I chose were phobia and growth. I was planning on making it something like a part 1/part 2 thing, but then while brainstorming I…
