if there was one thing my dad was always going to do, it was get me out of doing my chores by taking me on an adventure. naturally, this bothered my mom to no end: i was a messy kid who left her clothes strewn about her room, rarely made her bed, and left empty…

every time i write anything, my mom always tells me (not ask me), “write about me, juju.” so, here goes: my mom has always been different. she wore skirts to my brother’s football games when other moms wore jeans and rocked her big, oversized pradas in the bleachers of my soccer matches. until third grade,…

i told you that i was no good at new years resolutions. while my efforts to blog once a week have failed (miserably), my vow to stay productive and creative this year has been going strong! thirteen-year-old julianna would be so happy to know that twenty-one-year-old julianna is a published writer, journalist, and columnist (!).…

hello, hello, hello! thanks for checking back in with me. i must say, i’m gettin’ pretty good at this whole weekly blogging thing. consistency is key, right? a few updates since last post: the stay at home in my town has been lifted (yay!) so i was able to see my friends (yay!) and my…

i know! i know! i haven’t been around in a hot minute. please forgive me…i’ve been more addicted than ever to streaming services, cheese-its, cooking tik toks, and buying mass amounts of clothes that i won’t be able to wear anywhere for the next few months. if you knew me before second-semester-of-college, i have two…

hi all, it’s me again. been a while, huh? i haven’t been writing much on this blog, so i guess i went against my new year resolution a bit. i’ve just been so busy! creating my graphic art poetry has become harder and more time-consuming in tandem with school, my social life, and managing my…

hello friends, i sincerely apologize for the extremely emo post a few weeks ago. i needed a way to air out my thoughts and feelings, and that’s what i made this blog for. documenting emotion. transparency, remember? anyway, i was so genuinely happy that my post impacted so many of you. every text message, facebook…

in high school, i wore knee socks with my dresses. nobody else wore them but me. and i didn’t care. they made me happy. i was authentically myself. sure, i hid and camouflaged some things about myself to fit in, but i was in high school. fitting in was everything. but even then, i still dressed in a…
