I never really planned to officially “come out” and I don’t know who will see this or even care, but here goes nothing. To be honest, I don’t particularly think I was closeted about this and I’m sure if you paid enough attention to my social media (particularly Instagram), you would’ve probably seen a few…… Continue reading The Simple Okay
If you’re a Christian who has spent some time in the American Christian cultural context or if you happen to listen to contemporary Christian music, you probably immediately know what the title of this blog is referring to. If not, you probably think I just need to work on my titles (which I do). This…… Continue reading Unforeseen or Sloppy Wet Kiss?
Would you describe yourself as a happy person who gets sad sometimes or a sad person with happy moments? Towards the end of last semester, I was having brunch with two friends and we were having a conversation about happiness. I somehow expressed my conclusion that I am a happy person who experiences sad moments…… Continue reading The Thief of Joy
Height reduction surgery is a thing. I know this because I’ve researched it more times than I’m willing to admit. It’s something I would’ve considered having in the future if the procedure wasn’t hella dangerous. And why? Because I hated my 6-feet-tallness and couldn’t think of anything else to do about it. I often say…… Continue reading I Won’t Stop Growing: Confessions of a Freakishly Tall Girl
I dyed my hair purple the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Then I got it cut the next day… really short. Like.. shorter than the short that it already was since summer’s big chop. It wasn’t planned, really. But I did tell the barber that I wasn’t attached to my hair length and that he could do whatever…… Continue reading Purple Hair
“We should meet up soon,” “we should hang out,” “we should get lunch/dinner together.” I promise, a day hasn’t passed since recently where I haven’t heard or said those words or similar ones at least once. I was telling a friend that it’s funny how many times I say those words, and I’m literally always…… Continue reading Intentional(c)ity
I know. I know. This blogging thing is not for me, I guess. I haven’t been that inspired to write lately, not even in my journal. This is not the first time, but definitely the longest period I’ve had writer’s block. I find myself looking at old things I’ve written in journals and just academic…… Continue reading That ‘U’-Word
Planes ruin ships. Ships cruise and you feel like it’s smooth, rapid sailing until the plane starts flying above your head and you realize that ship-ride’s pace is too slow. Or the plane is too fast relative to the ship, it all depends on your perspective. Sea-sickness, headaches. Clogged ears, turbulence. Different pains. Different directions.…… Continue reading Relationships and Airplanes
“Can we be saved and stay on Instagram?” This blog was inspired by one of my lovely Facebook friends who posted this question. (I just want him to know that I love him if he’s reading this). It was also inspired by a very heavy conversation I was having with someone yesterday about the legalistic culture in…… Continue reading 5 Things You Shouldn’t Be Doing If You’re Saved
How do people even start these things? Hi…? I’m Adrienne, pronounced ‘ayyeee (as in “ayyeee shawty let me holla at ya”)-dreen (because I’m a dream, just with an n).’ A lot of people call me Adrienne as in Adrienne Bailon and might be very shocked when they read this. It’s okay though, I promise. Nbd. It’s…… Continue reading I don’t know what I’m doing yet
