The Year I Was No Longer Needed – 2025
It’s midway through January of 2026, and I’ve spent the last two weeks sick. In that stillness, I found myself reflecting deeply on 2025 and all the change that unfolded throughout the year. So much shifted in my life, and with that change came a quiet turmoil in my emotional well-being. I had to learn Continue reading

It’s Been A While
I’m sorry for the silence. This platform has always been a space I built for myself—to reflect, to process, to be honest. But for a while, it also became a reminder of just how much has happened. The truth is, I don’t think I ever fully processed the last 11 years of my life. But Continue reading

Life Isn’t About Being Happy
What I’ve come to understand about life is the beauty of life itself — the spectrum on which it exists and unfolds. When we talk about life, let’s stop and look at it differently for a moment. What is the definition of happy? Of sad? We reduce happiness to a smile and sadness to a Continue reading

The Strength of Vulnerability
Vulnerability—it’s a word that’s been thrown around a lot lately. Too often, it’s associated with weakness and pain. Scroll through social media, and you’ll find endless clips reinforcing this idea: how women find vulnerability in men unattractive, how men don’t feel safe expressing their emotions because it makes them seem less of a man. It’s Continue reading

The Weight I Carry
“I could never die, nor even think about something like suicide because, for as hard as life might be, for as much as I’ve been through, there are people I could never disappoint.” I said this to my therapist last year. For the longest time, it had been just a feeling—an unspoken truth buried beneath Continue reading

10 Year Reflection
In 10 years, so much has happened. While some days feel like nothing has changed, moments like this grant me the grace to reflect and see just how much has passed. My life was once selfishly lived. It revolved around my own desires, my own wants and needs. Ten years ago, I could have claimed Continue reading

Watching Them Grow
As you get older, you start to understand the quiet ache that some parents carry—the pain of watching the people you love grow up. At first, it’s in the small things. When the kids move out. When they find a partner. When they buy their first pots and pans. Then, it starts to pick up Continue reading

Brick by Brick
Nothing is built in a day. Everything meaningful—whether a dream, a love, or a life—is built, brick by brick. In the beginning, we know nothing. It’s only when we become curious, when we allow ourselves to care, that we begin to understand. And it’s through that understanding that we learn how to take the first Continue reading

The Gift of Fleeting Moments
With age comes a deeper appreciation for fleeting moments—those precious, often overlooked instances that define our lives. While this realization may not be universal, for me, it has become an undeniable truth as I grow older. At 32, I know I’m still young, but compared to those I love dearly, I often feel the weight Continue reading

The Weight of Growth
The process of growth isn’t something many people talk about, and honestly, I think I understand why. It’s because growth looks different for everyone. We all move through the motions of life, yet our unique experiences shape us into completely different beings, each interpreting and responding to life’s lessons in our own way. Growth, much Continue reading

About Me
I’m no one more special than any of you reading this. I work as a custodian during the evenings but every other time of the day I spend chasing a dream I’ve had since I was 16.
I have always believed there to be more to this life and I hope with this blog, my stories and journey in life, that I can share my experiences with all of you.
