Let me start off by sharing that my dog died on my birthday. That kind of set the tone 🫠
I was in an abusive relationship, got fired from my job (first and only time) so was broke, dropped out of school, and drinking way too much. I was able to leave that relationship that same year, but I had PTSD (didn’t know it, just thought I was crazy!), so I was very unwell.
The positive is that this was my rock bottom. After struggling for a few years I realized I needed help, and I got it. The way I had been living became unsustainable and I needed to find a new way to be.
My life now is so beautiful, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Don’t let this scare you- I wasn’t healthy before all of this either! I wish you a very fun, loving, depth full year of growth and an abundance of joy!

painful, directionless, largely unemployed, sexy, grimy, changed my hair color about five times, got blackout drunk too many times, leaned into what it means to be loved and supported unconditionally for the first time... and to be vulnerable in sharing the ugly truth I had been hiding for so many years.
it was just the beginning and lay the foundation for the tremendous positive changes I would go on to make the following year like beginning EMDR therapy and starting down the path of my career (and quitting smoking…)! enjoy you don’t have to be even close to figuring everything out this is the time to have a little fun and explore before things get too serious and don’t think too too much about what it all means… but do take care of yourself. everything will come together in the end 🫶

At 25, I was just finishing undergrad because I had dropped out of school twice. I worked at an animal rescue and cafe. I adopted my dog. I started dating my now husband.
I had experienced a lot of trauma and was in therapy working through it, so I was also having a lot of hard feelings. It was a hard and sometimes awkward growing period. Felt like a lot of just hoping there was another side. That’s the journey though!
Hard to believe everything that has happened since then. Don’t stress too much- there’s no rules! No timeline!

somewhere between 2 and 3 dozen years ago, God made His biggest mistake: me
I did not notice it pass midnight bc I was busy. A tiktok of a guinea pig made me cry and I was trying to find out if there are any antidepressants whose side effects don't include Making It Worse. I'm having some ice cream now.
I intended to make this post kinda jokey but a lot of what was wonderful about my life last year isn't here this year, and it's my own fault. I have a lot to answer for and work on, and it's hard, but I'm trying. Rebuilding a life is hard, and building a version of myself I trust to do good even moreso.
But I'm six months and almost two weeks sober as of now, and I've not missed a therapy session yet since I started, and I think those might be the only 2 healthy habits I have ever actually stuck to, so I hope that means I'm taking this seriously.
I hope it makes a difference. Here's to another year of trying, I guess ✨

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
