long after you are gone

Long after you are gone,
I feel the presence
of where you used to be.

Currently, I'm a graduate student in Oklahoma but I'm always on the lookout for my next travelling destination.

After writing poetry and hiding it away for years, I decided it should see the light of day. This is a website dedicated to my ever changing creative endeavours filled with original poems, favorite poems, and the randomness in between.

In addition to poetry, I'm also a screenwriter at the beginning of her career working on a number of scripts. Although, I often spend the time I should be writing focusing on my interests in cinematography and photography. The great hope is to work in the film and television industry in the future.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things, 2020 - ★★★★ September 17, 2020
Nice to know Charlie Kaufman still being Charlie Kaufman. I just finished the film and I liked it overall...I think. The ballet was definitely the part I enjoyed the most. I had a good chuckle at the death.I'm not sure how I feel about or what it says about women to make the Young Woman such an interchangeable character. I get why storywise but still it […]
To the Stars, 2019 - ★★½ (contains spoilers) September 5, 2020
This review may contain spoilers. To say this is a queer coming of age drama is inaccurate. In fact, it's disingenuous to bill this as a queer coming of age story. Its a coming of age story for a straight weird girl who happens to be befriended by a gay girl in 1960's Oklahoma. However, their friendship was very superficial. The writer makes you th […]
Summerland, 2020 - ★★½ September 2, 2020
