Young girl          Older now                Her mother’s

a blank page     writings cover her      Her father’s

darkening          Handwritings             Her ancestor’s

with age            from her past;            Her own.

Wake Forest

Hailing from Chicago, this Midwesterner turned Southern Belle is the Editor-in-Chief of Wake Forest University's chapter. When she isn't journaling for fun in her free time, she is obsessed with running around campus in giant sunglasses, wearing gold glitter eyeliner, and munching on trail mix. She's still struggling on saying "y'all" and not "guys" and has yet to try Cookout's legendary milkshakes. Follow her on twitter @Hmonyek!
