Welcome to 26!

Four walls, greyish blue. One year older—wiser, too. Stubborn, uncertain, excited, confused. Welcome to 26. Every year, in the springtime, I am reborn. Why am I here? Thoughts flood my mind with each lap around the sun— Questions for my soul, for the politicians, for the ghosts. I forgive everyone who did me wrong. IContinue reading “Welcome to 26!”

Overnight Success

The only overnight success I am witnessing lately are the overnight oats that I have been eating religiously. I stumbled upon a TikTok the other day about the artist Chappell Roan and how it took her 10 years to become the success she is today.

Bon Voyage!

My romantic heart sees beautiful couples, and I think back to when I was “deeply in love,” more like blindly in love. Even though it was not sustainable or ideal, it was beautiful; it was. Love like that at a time in your life where kisses and letters defined the relationship was beautiful. You loveContinue reading “Bon Voyage!”

Journaling as a Tool to a Mindful Life

Before I obsessively try to convince you to start journaling every day, let’s talk about what journaling even means. I used to hear all about journaling, and it always made me feel extremely overwhelmed. What are you supposed to write? Is it like one of those “Dear Diary” situations?
