Two Years Post-Graduation? Already?
It hit me the other night … I graduated two years ago. More than that, now, actually. I’m two years post-graduation. And what have I got to show for it? It was a bit sobering. Since I was sixteen (almost seventeen), it feels like not much has changed. Sure, I’ve switched my second day job […]
Resting in God & Other Things I Dislike Doing
Once upon a time there was a girl named Kellyn Roth. Well, really, her name was Kelly Lyn Garrett, but sometimes it was hard for her to separate the two, especially since she always put so much pressure to perform on dear old Kellyn. But that’s a story for another time. The story I have […]
Because I’m All Right … Sorta
Hey there! I … yeah. Been a while. 😅 It’s been a while since I’ve been productive, so that makes sense. But that’s okay. Life has been hectic, I feel like I’m always on the run, and I’m behind on several deadlines. Like, I’m not exaggerating. Several deadlines, some which seriously involve other people. But […]
The Perfection Lie: Why Sinlessness Isn’t Strugglelessness

Modern Romantics vs. God’s Design for Wifehood {Part 2}
Last week, we talked about how the Victorians felt about marriage and courtship along with one thing they got right! Today I’m going to talk about God’s design for marriage. That’s a big subject for a seventeen-year-old with no formal intent to marry, but I’m gonna take it on anyway!
The Victorian Ideal vs. Modern Romantics {Part 1}
Just a couple weeks ago, I posted about how Christian girls shouldn’t wrap their worlds around marriage. And, to balance that out, now I’m going to give you some marriage advice! Okay, okay. I’m joking! I’m really just going to ramble about a trope I’ve noticed in old books, some history, and how that relates […]
