Someone doorbell ditched me approximately 7 months ago. The good kind of doorbell ditching where they leave you a Dr. Pepper, chocolate, and a playlist labeled "Mixtape #1". 17 songs, 16 songs I'd never heard. 1 I played over and over by a band named Carolina Liar, and that's where this starts. 

I'm not creative, I'm not a writer, I just like words. 

I like how words mean things to us and become parts of us even though they're just marks on a page. I like how words arranged in the right way can make you feel things you never knew you could. 

I like losing my breath when I read a particularly beautiful line. I like getting lost in a book like I get lost in blue eyes. 

I like it all. 

So this blog is going to be a collection of my favorite words and any obscure thoughts that want to become alive through me. This blog is for you to read and maybe relate to, for my mom to try to understand my teenage moods, but mostly it's for me to somehow figure out my mind. Yeah, this is for me; the new Carolina Liar.

  1. Cool reason behind the pen name, just downloaded a song by Carolina Liar. I can relate to why you like words, and I'm really just impressed how you laid it all out in a way that made sense, but still left room for me to relate. I don't know, I guess I'm trying to say this was good.
