music city series: Opryland
This area of town is very important to me because I work at the Grand Ole Opry House.

how do you know if it’s fate?
It’s crazy to think that I’ve been single for the past four years. With failed attempts on dating apps and never meeting anyone in person, I’ve felt like I’ll never meet anyone. Of course, people say, “You’re only 22,” but I hoped I’d at least have a boyfriend by now. In the last few weeks,Continue reading “how do you know if it’s fate?”
