I Get the Villains Now
Because being ✨good✨didn’t get me a damn thing. Some people dream of being the hero. The star. The success story. Me? I just wanted to live my life doing what I loved. I wanted to sing, to write, to build something of my own—without being dragged through the mud for…

Letters to My Past
Sometimes healing looks like silence. Other times, it looks like writing everything down just to finally let it go. This week, I did something I wasn’t sure I’d ever do. I wrote letters—to my past. To the people who hurt me, dismissed me, made me question myself. I didn’t write…

100+ Posts Later, I’m Still Here
Sorry I didn’t post last week—life got a little loud. But today, I’m writing this with so much gratitude in my heart. I’ve officially written over 100 blog posts here. And I’ve been keeping this journal for over 7 years. There were times I stopped writing. Times I didn’t have…

When Choosing Yourself Still Hurts
Last Wednesday, I quit my job. I did it for my mental health. For my peace. For my survival. And at first, I felt amazing. I knew it was the right decision. I still know it. But the truth is, as the days have passed, something unexpected happened: The numbness…

Still Showing Up (Even When I Want to Walk Out)
Let me be honest—some days it takes everything in me just to clock in. I’ve been doing my best to keep my head up, to be professional, to protect my peace, but when you’re in an environment that refuses to see you—really see you—it starts to chip away at you.…

It’s been a trying couple of weeks in light of everything that’s been happening. I’ve been doing what I can to stay informed on what’s happening in the world. I can’t say I’m surprised at this election or the behavior shift I’ve witnessed at my place of work ever since.…
