Last week, I packed my bags, kissed routine goodbye, and took a spontaneous trip to New Orleans. It was wild, funny, unpredictable—and just what I didn’t know I needed. I saw the beauty, the chaos, the color, and the spirit of the city. And somewhere in between the laughter, the late nights, and the smell of beignets—I found clarity.
While I was still on the trip, I posted a random little reel. Just me and my boyfriend being silly. I didn’t overthink it. I didn’t plan it. I just posted it… and it went viral.
I was honestly shocked.
Then I posted another one. And another. Still in New Orleans, still not trying too hard—just capturing joy in the moment. And people started engaging. Following. Liking. Sharing.
For someone who was about ready to walk away from content creation, it felt like the universe nudging me to keep going. That maybe this path wasn’t about perfection after all—it was about presence.
I kept posting even after I got back home. And the momentum continued. For the first time in a while, it didn’t feel like I was yelling into the void. It felt like people actually saw me.
This trip reminded me that I’ve already created something sacred: a home with my partner that I actually missed while I was away. A vision I’m slowly bringing to life. A voice I’m reclaiming, day by day.
I’m still manifesting. Still believing. Still building.
And funny enough? The minute I stopped trying so hard and just leaned into the real—everything started aligning.
I’m not sure what’s next in my journey as a content creator but I’m going to keep going.
Love always.
