I’ve always dreamt of landing on the moon. But I knew that would take a long time to earn. I had created a heartfelt message to the moon by creating this story, An Outer Space Poem to share my thoughts and story about getting to NASA.

During January 2026, I joined public school for middle school for the first time. For my whole childhood, I was always homeschooled, until now. Earlier in January, I made some new friends. I was part of a whole girl-gang again! Well, until my new “friends” gave me the silent-treatment. I’ve been an author for almost five years now, and I thought I could write songs, but known to be poems about my “friends.” I call my album Friendship Bracelets. Symbolizing my feelings about my friends, how I thought they would be better than the last ones, and if they really loved me for who I was. So I wrote this album called Friendship Bracelets for the girl-gang I use to be part of who took in the next girls and replaced me without telling me how they felt about me.
