I mistook Pride for Strength
It’s been 10 years since I graduated high school.10 years. TEN. 10 years of learning and growing.10 years of surviving.10 years of adulthood.10 years of lessons, mistakes, trials, and tribulations. Crazy. I moved to Houston straight out of high school, and honestly? It was one of the worst decisions I ever made. People close to me know why, but if I could go back, I genuinely don’t think I would’ve moved to Texas at all. Why did I do it? Pride. My pride was too strong. Something happened during my senior year of high school that caused me to completely shut down mentally. I stopped believing in myself. I didn’t…

Back, In my own Time
Where have I been? Yeah… I know it’s been a while. Forgive me PLEASE. I’m here now. Why did it take me so long to come back? Honestly, I wasn’t feeling connected. Nothing really came to mind to say. But if you’re here reading this, still accepting me and supporting me, I appreciate you. What is normal? I say this a lot when I’m struggling: “I wish I was just normal.” But what even is normalcy? If I feel deeply and have hard days, does that mean I’m not normal? If I need medication to stay on a steady path, does that make me different? Are you “normal”? I think I’m…

A Break, A Blessing, & A Beginning
Wassupppp. Happy holidays. Did you miss me? Honestly, I’ve had a lot going on, and I said before I’d tell you when I was ready… so let’s break down a few things. I moved units at my property. The feng shui here is amazing. It feels so comforting and homey. I’m sleeping better, and I’m actually enjoying my space. My antidepressant was increased. I went through a long stressful, quiet, exhausting episode and it was needed, so I’ve just been navigating through that. Therapy is great per usualllll .. shoutout to my therapist. You know I’ve always said healing never ends. It’s a journey. And I think I’ve been pushing…

Covered, Protected, and Chosen
I’ve always ALWAYS said i’m one of God’s favorites. There’s literally nothing anyone could tell me to make me believe otherwise.Why? Because i’m a very blessed woman. I first realized this on the day I last attempted suicide. That day, I knew i’m here for a reason. So much has happened since then, and every step has shown me I have a bigger purpose. When I say he has his hand over me, I truly mean it. I can never fail. No matter what happens, i’m always lifted back up with a blessing exactly when I need it. It might not be when I want it, but it’s always right…

Finding Peace in the Person i’m Becoming
Lately, i’ve been thinking a lot about purpose.. what it means, how to find it, and if it’s something we create or uncover. For a long time, I thought purpose had to be this huge, world changing thing. Something loud. Something that made people say “wow.” But recently, i’ve realized… it’s not always that dramatic. Sometimes your purpose is quiet. Sometimes it’s soft. Sometimes it’s just being you fully, freely, and without apology. I recently read an article on finding clarity on your purpose and motivations for life. Here are some things I reflected on, that makes me…. me. When I feel most alive, it’s not when i’m chasing something…

Woahhh, Hiiiiii.
I know what you’re thinking forgive me. I’ve been going through it. A temporary setback, that’s all. What’s crazy is… I’m back. It’s been two months of no thoughts, and somehow it all got fixed in one day. Today my good sis pulled up unexpectedly, and honestly? It was so needed. We had coffee from Dutch Bros, good gossip, catching up on life lately, girl talk, good weed, and Cava. Perfect day, man. I didn’t even realize how much I needed this. It was so fulfilling simple, genuine, and grounding. I thoroughly enjoyed my entire day. I have to tell you what’s been going on the best way I can… but for…

Whispers I Tell Myself While Becoming
Words carry energy. When we speak life into ourselves, we begin to believe it, embody it, and attract it. Affirmations are more than just positive phrases they are seeds of intention that with repetition and faith, bloom into our reality.

Confidence in progress. Don’t play with me!
I recently went to dinner, and something happened for the first time in my life: I felt at ease with myself. Beautiful. Confident. Fyeee. LOL. Now I know you might be thinking, “Where are you going with this, girl?” But stay with me. I’ve struggled with self-love for as long as I can remember. Insecure. Uncomfortable in my body. I can’t even tell you exactly why. I’ve just always hated how I looked. And you know what comes with that? That gotdamn A-word: anxiety. Years and years of not loving yourself doesn’t just disappear. It lingers. It seeps into everything…… how you dress, how you show up (or don’t), how you move through…

Grace Counts Too: Redefining What Consistency Really Means
Why are you so hard on yourself? Really. Sit with that. When did showing up stop being enough for you? When did you decide that you always have to get it right perfectly or it doesn’t count? I ask because I know this feeling too well. I am my own biggest critic.. LITERALLY. Even when I do things right, I find a way to pick it apart how it could’ve been better, faster, more. But here’s the thing when was the last time you gave yourself grace? Do you reward yourself for even showing up? We hear so much about consistency. Hustle. Grind. Never miss a day. But I think we…
