About



*  S A M  * 

Hi, there! I'm Sam. I'm a twenty-something reader, writer, daydreamer, go-getter, and feeler of feels. I like words and stories, people and communities, furry four-legged creatures and winged fire-breathing beasts. I like paradoxes and anomalies, hyphenated modifiers and witty parentheticals. I dislike redundancy, reactionary politics, and bullies. My greatest fear is total, eternal isolation (and maybe, too, killer whales). I rock a pixie haircut, and I wear a lot of black. Let's be friends!

*  A L E X I S  *

Hello, friends! I'm Alexis. I'm an old-enough-to-drive teen aspiring to obtain the grandest imagination I can. I enjoy constantly thinking up wild and absurd things, which are quickly placed in a journal - this being the start of a writing career I hope to have one day.

I enjoy reading, adventuring (both in my head and out in the world), spending time with those closest to me, playing one of my four instruments, and cuddling with my pups (who are definitely too old to be pups). In addition, I spend a lot of my time fangirling over the many gems of fictional worlds - and crying over them, too. There's LOTS of crying. (But I don't regret a second of those refreshing feels!)  You should know, too... I'm a HUGE hopeless romantic.

I try to embrace a plethora of styles, changing up my wardrobe at least once a week. Most of the time, my hair is down - straight or wavy, depending on my mood. (Notice that I said wavy, not curly. I do not know how to curl my hair. But hey! Here's to hoping I'll figure it out one day!)

I hope to advance my writing skills through this blog, and I hope to have incredible conversations about the true wonders of our world!
