Standing on the Frontline
I finally got a new job. It’s not full-time hours yet, but it’s enough to cover my bills and expenses—and I’m grateful. Two months without a job felt like an eternity. The stress was heavy. There were days where I didn’t know how I was going to make it, and…

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…

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.…

Bring on the Holidays
It’s almost Christmas. This is my first holiday in almost a decade with a partner. I’ve never had a New Year’s Eve or Mistletoe kiss. As cheesy as it sounds I’ve always wanted to experience both of those. I’m looking forward to both of these holidays not just for those…

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…
