She taught me to find beauty in chaos and to laugh even when things are hard. She lived life with a wild and open heart. My mother made life […]

In today’s post, I’ve got a new short story! Earlier in the year and then recently again for a second time, I watched the Netflix’s series titled The Lost Pirate Kingdom. An excellent six-epsiode docuseries on the golden age of pirates. A subject I’ve always had an interest in. The series is such a fun documentary to watch! I’ve been left extremely inspired to write about a sea-fearing pirate captain.
