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…

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.…

Reclaiming My Voice: Healing the Inner Child Through Song
I’ve been posting more lately. More covers. More music. More of me. Putting myself out there again hasn’t been easy—but it’s been powerful. It’s been healing. Especially for the version of me that never felt fully heard. Especially for the little girl inside me who used to sing her heart…

Bad Bitch in Progress: Living and Dreaming
Let me tell you something that might surprise you. At 30, I thought I’d have it all figured out by now. The dream career, the perfect balanced relationship. The perfect house, the perfect car, the perfect life. Isn’t that how it goes when you’re a kid? You think how easier…

Update 2025
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.…

Weekend Update
This weekend was pretty cool. We did some much needed holiday shopping and bought some more stuff for the house. We had such a good time looking at pricing and decorating our home together. I finally got some of the piercings I’ve been wanting. I will be getting a few…
