Shifting Slowly

Rooting down while life shifts.<br>Here, I write through the ache, the questions, and the quiet becoming — learning to stand steady even when nothing feels certain.

Validate Yourself

(quote by @hellooctober) Stop seeking validation, meaning, understanding, clarity & love outside of you. Validate yourself. Find meaning in yourself. Understand yourself.

Tell Your Story to Live

I realized tonight that we need to write our story’s. If we don’t, they will consume us & stay in our heads & attach themselves to parts of us that don’t heal. Story’s are meant to be told & not necessarily to an audience. Just maybe to yourself. Just maybe if you write it down… — read more

You Choose

I want to talk about ‘choice’. Someone said to me recently, “I had no choice.” She was referring to not being able to see content that she didn’t want to see. My response was simple, “just unfollow them.” You see, we do have a choice. We always have choices. I know we may believe we… — read more

You Are Enough

Have you ever? Have you just ever? Have you ever just wanted to yell so loud, “YOU DON’T GET ME! Never have, NEVER WILL!” Then you breathe in. Breathe out. And it hits you; You don’t have to yell at all because they don’t get it and they don’t need to get it. I have… — read more

Let’s Look at the Bigger Picture

Making something out of nothing is an art form. I think it comes from not having much growing up. It comes from lack. When you lack and then receive the things you are lacking, you know how to make the best of it. How to appreciate small things and underestimated people. Coming from a background… — read more

Healing is a Journey

People often ask me, “How do you have it together? You seem like you have the answers but you’re so young.” I don’t have it all together. I’m just dedicated to the journey. I’m dedicated to this journey of life. I have to be or life would swallow me whole and I would be lost.… — read more

Lies We Tell Ourselves

Be right there. One second. Yea! No. I’m ok. I’m fine. Nothing’s wrong. It was my fault. It wasn’t their fault. I don’t have time. Life’s short. It’s ok. I forgive you. No sweat. Today, I’m working out. I’ll do it later. Tomorrow is another day. And on and on. We do this… — read more

Just Do It

You know the Nike motto, ‘Just Do It’, well that’s been my motto lately. I just got off the treadmill a bit ago. This was after I almost talked myself out of not getting on again. And why do I do this? Well because in my mind if I have made poor choices earlier in… — read more
