discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
Hey It's been a hot minute. I've had a lot of changes. Some good, some bad. I've been thinking about writing for a long time but I wasn't ready. I just needed a break. A long break, at that. So why today? Well, to be honest, today is a really, really bad day. I'm mentally …
Today's post is written for those I hurt. No fun gifs or anything today as this is for them. I want them to understand that I am serious about changing for the better. Hey - So Saturday was...interesting. I'm sure you were like, "Okay, she's having fun" or whatever. But to me, it was different. …

Oh my. Where to start? I'm just gonna dive right in. I'm sure I'll piss some people off but IDGAF. I've been silence & complacent for too long. Now they get to know exactly how I feel & how shitty they've been treating me. And if they're surprised, they haven't been paying attention. I'm fucking …
Hey 🙂 I decided to take January off. Partly because I was swamped with work. Partly because I wasn't feeling up to snuff. Grief, stress, & horrible people who claim to love you. But let me get you caught up on what's going on. So remember the Grandma I wanted to see for Passover? She …
I've been waiting a long time to tell you this story. Partly because I didn't feel ready. Partly because it still stung. But as time goes on, I find myself happy to have moved on with my life. Happy, but in a bittersweet way. I think I was 13 or 14 when I first met …
