There are a lot of things that bring me joy and make me happy.  Soccer  Soccer is probably one of the biggest things that makes me happy. I have been playing soccer since I was eight years old. Being on the field is my safe place to forget about reality and just enjoy what I am doing.         2. My best friend  She is my ride or die. No matter good terms or bad terms she is always there for me. She ...

My Girlfriend  Ever since lockdown has started she has been there for me every day and let me get these slow days to go by quickly with a smile on my face.

DC Comics Batman was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane under DC Comics and is one of my favorite characters of all time. I have also come to love other characters of the Bat-Family, like Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, Catwoman, and Robin.

In a time like no other, I try to immerse myself in photography and music. COVID-19 has forced me to stay at home for most of my day, so taking photos keeps me busy, while the music keeps me entertained. Taking photos for both my personal experience and for The Tribe has opened my eyes and opened the airways of creativity to flow within my brain like a newly installed shower head. Nowadays I look...

I listen to One Direction and their solo music every day with any chance I get. FOUR is my favorite album and Fireproof is my favorite song.  2. 90s-2000s...

Okeeheelee Dog Park I love dogs. And the outdoors. The dog park is my happy place because I get to see so many amazing little dogs that come and jump up on me and give me hugs. My dog, Luke, who is a good 12 pounds absolutely loves to chase around this giant inflatable ball that is at least twice the size of him. Occasionally he trips over the ball and does a few somersaults which always kee...

It honestly helps me go to sleep on most nights but I’m realizing that my dreams are typically having to do with whatever Tik Tok that I watched before I turn my phone off which is pretty funny.  ...

  My Instrumental/Classical playlist This playlist is everything to me. I listen to it when I study, when I’m doing homework, when I’m running, literally every second of the day. The pieces I listen to are so beautiful and perfectly crafted that I am so grateful to have ears. It’s so soothing to my mind. I’d literally go insane without my playlist. Stranger Things My comfort seri...

1. Twilight Princess This particular entry into the Legend of Zelda franchise by Nintendo is especially dear to me because it introduced me to the world of gaming when I was a small child. For its time, this game had amazing graphics considering the time when it was released. However much I struggled to get through the game being an inexperienced child, each moment was thoroughly enjoyable and ...
