    I’m Not the Monster in Her Story

    The Day I Stopped Lying to Myself
  • Yesterday felt like a turning point — a real, tangible shift. For the first time in what feels like forever, I felt like me again. Not the version of me that was moulded by someone else’s expectations or dulled by…

    Awakening
  • She had the idea that real love meant being everything for each other — always together, doing everything as one, never apart. But that wasn’t what I believed love needed to be. For me, love is also about breathing room.…

    The Unrealistic Expectation of Being Everything
  • Healing is a weird process. So many times — as you’ll have seen in some of my previous posts — I feel like I’m improving. I’ll have a good day, maybe even a few strung together. I get up, crack…

    The Mess of Healing

    My Anchor in the Storm
  • I’ve taken a couple of days away from writing, and I think it was the right move. There’s been a lot to process over a short period of time, and stepping back allowed me to breathe, reflect, and embrace the…
