My name is Mandy.

I am... a live music enthusiast, an empathizer, a chronic thinker, a sometimes cynic, a runner, an avid sushi eater, a bookworm, an independent 25-year-old, a huge Better than Ezra/Jack's Mannequin/Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers fan, an animal and people lover, a soul searcher, a non-drinker by default and a worrywart with the best intentions.

This is my place to share my writing, favorite quotes, interesting stories, songs that resonate with me (or that I just like) and whatever else I think is so great that it needs to be shared with friends and random readers.

Views are my own and are in no way affiliated with the company I work for.

I’m coming home from my hardest year
I’m making plans not to make plans while I’m here
And this life has been no holiday
A complicated situation
I’m fine with all my memories
So I could use vacation

It’s Christmas in California
And it’s hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
But I’ll take a west coast winter to remove my splinters
It’s good to be alive

I’m coming home to the lights and buzz
Streets look the same, still nothing’s as it was
And this place is paradise I’m sure
Here’s my reservation
I’ve gotten lost here once before
Inside a good vibration

It’s Christmas in California
And it’s hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
But I’ll take a west coast winter to remove my splinters
It’s good to be alive

And time
It’s said it stops for no one
The seasons come and go and that’s just time
Outside it stops for no one
The seasons keep on going
Whether or not we’re blind

Christmas in California
And it’s hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
But I’ll take a west coast winter to remove my splinters
It’s good to be alive
