Do you want pity or to be heard?

The idea that only pity is wanted from everyone who struggles with managing how they release their frustrations needs to be dismissed. In my experience is more often just people who don't know how to express their desire to have their needs met.

The Battle in the Mirror

It can be a huge challenge trying to speak to myself with kindness, so I didn't. It felt impossible, I tried something else instead so I can keep making steps to get to that kindness.

Cluttered Space, Cluttered Mind

Battling the day to day and trying to maintain a space you can breathe in while still letting yourself live is a challenge, but it's so important.

My post comes late today because we just got all my stuff in on Saturday and after 3 months of working with only one day off the whole time, ya girl was T I R E D. I planned on getting this in because authenticity matters and I didn't want to write this post before I had actually arrived but Monday was pure chaos with 3 zoom interviews and unpacking.

As a chaotic chapter ends…

This whole time, as I've been doing exactly what I need to do, I've been feeling so lost and confused about everything. I feel like I just don't know what I'm doing anymore.

The Tidy Shift

It can be hell managing clutter and tidiness, sometimes it's better to focus on small gradual, manageable changes.

My White Passing Conundrum

There's a certain disconnect when you just don't fit. Being white passing feels like it just highlights that disconnect and impacts of lost identity after a move I had no say in.

It's quite complicated feeling blessed as I work through the trauma of a violent upbringing. Living the kind of life that just feels like the embodiment of almost isn't enough.
