There are parts of my life that don’t match each other right now, and for a long time, that made me uncomfortable. I’m in a job I love.Some days, I hate. I’m surrounded by people who are becoming, people who are striving to be who they want to be, even in the quiet moments. Even

Imma take a different approach and put on my psychology cap for a second. These past couple of weeks have taught me something heavy but true one person can completely change how you see the world or how you see them. Some people crave validation so deeply that the moment your attention shifts, even just a

A quiet place doesn’t have to be perfect or pretty. It can be in your car after a long day at work, sitting on the edge of your bed, going for a walk , or standing outside just trying to breathe. And the thing about that kind of quiet is.. It’ll make you feel everything

For so long, I thought protecting my heart meant building walls. But I’ve learned it’s not about shutting people out it’s about keeping your peace sacred. Protecting your heart means you’ve finally learned that pouring into everyone else while leaving yourself empty isn’t love, it’s neglect. It means choosing yourself without guilt, setting boundaries that

The more I dig into the career I want to pursue, the more little details catch my attention making me stop and really think about where I am, where I thought I’d be, and the space in between that feels like both a lesson and a test. Sometimes I wonder… am I dreaming, or am

“Authenticity isn’t about having it all together it’s about being honest enough to say, ‘this is me, still evolving.’ I’d rather be real and misunderstood than polished and unrecognizable.” Over the past few months while taking a new psychology grad course, I’ve noticed a recurring theme in society : you have to be a certain person

Lately, my thoughts have become pieces of my story every passing idea turning into another life lesson in reality. My feelings and thoughts keep merging into one, spilling onto the page in a stream of nonsense that only makes sense when I go back, piece it together, and pour my heart into it. Blogging has

Some days I wake up and wonder why I keep doing this. Why I keep showing up, clocking in, putting on a calm face while my insides feel heavy. Why I push through the exhaustion, the pressure, the long hours, the expectations that never seem to stop growing. There are moments quiet ones , when

Am I on an island alone? Sometimes it feels like I’m circling inside this twilight zone called life pulled in a hundred directions, always responding, always giving. My name gets called 10,000 times a day. And I answer. Every time. I answer in tension, in silence, in urgency. But never once do I hear, “Hey, how

Some mornings, I look in the mirror and recognize myself instantly. Other times, I stare a little longer, wondering if the person looking back is really me or just a version of myself I’ve learned to perform for the world. We spend so much time trying to become who we think we should be. We adjust our attitudes, filter

This past week, I felt myself pulling away from something that brought me nothing but fear and hesitation. I saw the truth in what I wanted, and yet, instead of embracing the reality that was being given to me, I stepped away. It was as if my mind couldn’t reconcile what I was being shown

Sitting in a quiet room with just your thoughts,You realize you have so much to say and a promise to keep to yourself. You tell yourself: This will not be the year I stay stuck in place,Running the same tired race. It’s time to get up, be bold, and let courage ignite. Break the chains that

When it comes to personal growth, support, and even our sense of self, the people we choose to surround ourselves with “our circle” matters more than we often realize. This circle includes our closest friends, family members, mentors, and sometimes even colleagues who deeply influence our thoughts, behaviors, and outlook on life. Think of your
