New Books – [July 18th, 2023]
Recently bought a lot of interesting Psychology & Christianity books which is so fun! Just starting to look into Psy.D. programs today and it's a bit overwhelming, especially the prospect of potentially having to take the GRE! So much to do and not a lot of time but I believe in myself! 💖

My Literature Journey
My Blog, ☾ Lockheart Arden Publishing 💖
☾ My most recent novel update here ♡ 
♡☾ Find delicious foods I’ve made here at “Cooking with Samantha” ♡
It is currently January 20th, 2022 at the time of this post. Hello to anyone and everyone reading this! My name is Samantha, and recently I have fallen back in love with reading books. For such a long time, the thought of reading never enticed me or got me interested because it would always take me so long to get through a book, and I always had to re-read passages. But in late November, all of that changed after reading a novel for a history course I was taking. Since then I have read a few books of my own choosing that I was excited about, and I loved them all so much!! ~It’s very empowering to start enjoying something you never thought you would. ♡
Because of that, I decided I wanted a place to document all of the books I’ve been reading and currently reading, so without further ado... I made a Reading Master List ...and you can find me at that link!! I also have my GoodReads account here. Starting this new journey is for myself and myself alone. Certainly there are people in the world that read more than I do, but I’m trying to free myself from the constant comparison of myself to others, and do something that makes me happy simply because I enjoy it. Reading feels like it has done extraordinarily good things for my mental health as well and gives me a sense of purpose and direction. If anyone wants to see everything I am reading, that would be wonderful, but even if no one is interested, that’s wonderful too. ♥️
At the end of the day you should aways remember you are loved and worthy, and that no one else has the right to tell you otherwise. I wouldn’t be at the place I am now in my life if it weren’t for God. He has put all of this on my heart and face my own insecurities whilst being resilient.✨
Now, of course I must end this post with a quote that an author named Bianca Sparacino wrote, “growth isn’t this comfortable, miraculous thing. It can get ugly, it can get confusing. It’s gritty, it’s hard. It’s difficult to confront yourself sometimes; it’s difficult to be the person who does things differently, who doesn’t settle. But it’s the greatest gift you will ever give yourself. It will push you towards figuring out what your own personal version of happiness looks like; and when you grow on your own terms, when you figure out what actually matters to you, and when you carve out your own path, you live on your own terms. You love on your own terms. You become the person you have always wanted to be, rather than the person you were always told to be, and that is beautiful. Because when it comes down to it—life is about making yourself proud on your own terms. It’s about finding a happiness that works for you.” ♡
Update on December 29th, 2022: A few days ago, I made a facebook page for my blog, here is the link 💖 This is my passion, but I am trying hard to get more exposure on my blog and the things I write, with all of the time I spend on it in my daily life—on top of being a current student in college. This is the link to my official Blog, Lockheart Arden Publishing ♥️ On there, I post essays about self-compassion, faith, philosophy, and even a little bit of psychology! I am proud of how far it has come since June of 2021 when I started! Additionally, here is my Carrd page. Thank you all for your support and for reading my writing. This whole thing makes me so happy, and I am so thankful to have the privilege of pursuing a passion. It's not something I wish to take for granted. Thank you again. ♡

Felt inspired this morning to spend some time writing out my feelings. Thanks for reading if you did—— if not, that’s okay too.

Novel Update #1
Author Profile: Samantha Arden Lockheart
Title: The Mind of Melanie Jo Arndt Holland
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Characters: Melanie Holland (female, 23 years old, Computer Engineering Graduate student) and Levi Jarrett Schoneveld (male, 31 years old, Art History PhD student) 🥰
Release Date: To Be Determined [likely 2024 or 2025]
I uploaded this post on Instagram the night of New Year's Eve. It's my first official update to my upcoming romance novel with two characters named Melanie Jo Holland and Levi Schoneveld.
The unfortunate thing about life is that you don’t realize how moments will affect you until they become memories.♥️
Sometimes, they flash in your mind.
Maybe they were important. Maybe fictional. Maybe they were hurtful, happy, euphoric, or troubling. Or just nothing. In any case, it feels like the moments occurred just seconds ago. It does for me, when I am reminded of them.
Maybe that is weird. I don’t know. I feel out of place in the world enough as it is. Yet my mind is the only condition in which they exist. No one else can see it, but I see it. The moments are real again. My characters help me go back.
I think of Melanie Jo, and I don’t feel out of place. This is why I write.

Thank you again for your time and for reading the thoughts that go through my mind. In the mean time, I have some posts on my blog, Lockheart Arden Publishing for everyone to check out. I love posting about my life, poetry, self-compassion, and some philosophy and psychology topics. 💭💖

Currently reading “The American Roommate Experiment” and seriously… I am falling in love with the entire plot, but MOST of all… the characters. There is so much to love!! Rosie and Lucas are getting somewhere.♥️

Not writing or book-related, but it’s the little things in life to get you through the not-so-good moments. 💖
