Dear Kylie, I know life is tough right now. I have been where you are, and I know that you will come out stronger. Don’t worry about what you can’t control, and try not to dwell on what might or could happen. Instead, focus on the positives of the situation.

Hi! You already know this by now, but in case you forgot, my name is Kylie. It is a common name that started becoming popular in America during the 1960s. It originated in Australia with the meaning “boomerang”. I guess that means I’ll always come back around/bounce back. I don’t know, but I’m not here… Continue reading My Name Is ______

Dear future husband, I have longingly awaited for your arrival. Throughout my years, I have abstained from dating because if I date, it means that I think I may have found the one. I date with intention. I date for marriage. This may be intimidating, but I don’t plan on playing with people’s hearts nor… Continue reading Dear Future Husband

I was immediately intrigued by this assignment called “Another Day”. It is all about reflecting about the beauty all around you that is often overlooked: the sights, the sounds, the smells, the wind, the sun, the rain. All of it draws me and makes me realize how extravagant this planet is. Sight I love being… Continue reading Stop and Smell the Flowers

What is Storytelling?

| storyanalysis, Syndicated, Week 3
September 7, 2021

Storytelling is not only about giving information, whether it is fictional or nonfictional, it is about captivating the reader, holding their attention, and inspiring thought. Storytelling compels the reader to want to know more or to the listener to wait with anticipation for what might come next. Digital storytelling puts a different spin on it… Continue reading What is Storytelling?

Batman: The Dark Knight

February 7, 2021

I love this story because it does not fit the normal narrative for a popular super hero movie. The theme for this movie is much darker than the normal movies that come from Marvel. The movie itself is about a man who appears to be a snarky rich guy, but is really a hero and loves his city. The movie […]

I’m all alone. My companion has not returned as he has a million times before. Something is wrong. My dad put me in this cold place underground and left me here. He gave me some pets, told me he would be right back. That was when the big explosion happened. I am scared, so I start to whine and claw […]

My new friend and I met in an ally way. I found this innocent pup beaten and battered, so I nursed him back to health. He did nothing to be treated this way, but I’m glad I was able to find him. We were now both orphans, lucky to find each other. I don’t know what his name was, but […]

As I sit on my porch, I am watching the snow blow with the breeze. The slight changes in the direction and power of which the snow blows intrigues me. The flakes themselves are massive, indicating the temperature must be at or above freezing. The grass peaks ever so slightly above the snow and is immobile under the weight of […]
