Afternoon, Autumn
I watch the corners of your mouth curl up, as you tilt your face towards the sun and close your eyes. It’s the perfect October afternoon, the kind where the air is crisp, the sky is a nearly cloudless blue, and the sun is still …

A Journal Entry | October 15, 2022 |Together
We are all going through something. Whether it’s something that looms across the entirety of our day, or perhaps it’s a single thought that only occupies a few fleeting moments of our time, in any case, I’ve come to realize that we are all going through something. We are all thinking, processing, internalizing, pushing aside, accepting or letting go of something, and it’s truly unfortunate that so many of us go at it alone.
A Journal Entry | June 21, 2021 | Here’s to 30
Here’s to no longer being afraid of my age, to no longer fearing falling behind, or feeling like I’m not there yet. To no longer measuring myself up next to someone else’s ruler, comparing my life to someone else’s path, or my accomplishments against someone else’s timeline.
F*ck it. This is Me.
Unmarried, still starting off my career, living at home, paying off my student loans, but also so very unbothered, unfazed, and 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚. So long, decade of caring way too much about what other people think; hello freedom, peace of mind, and a whole lot of adventure. Here’s to no longer trying to fit in, but rather spending time with people I genuinely enjoy being around, to embracing the introverted (with a splash of extroverted) person that I am. Here’s to no longer accepting the kind of love that I know I don’t deserve, and actually opening myself up to loving me, and 𝘠𝘰𝘶, with my whole heart.
Here’s to no longer giving AF about all the BS, and just finally choosing to be unequivocally, Me.
Here’s to 30 🙂

I journaled this, this morning and took the deepest sigh of relief, combined with the greatest inhale for life, and felt as though I had just released the heaviest weight off my chest.
Perhaps it was perfect timing on my part (or maybe the Universe’s) for having recently finished the novel “The Courage to be Disliked,” because it has profoundly influenced my mindset over the past few weeks. I highly encourage everyone to read it 🙂
Thank you so much to my family and best friends who made this birthday so very special <3
A Journal Entry | October 18, 2019 | Chronicles of the Heart
Yesterday I read a story about a girl and about her love. Love for a boy who she fell for much too quickly, and love for a new beginning of which brought her more excitement than she’d felt in years. It was a new adventure, a promise of a better future, a story of love much like the others where the doe-eyed main character dives in head-first, believing that this was it, that this was the real deal.
