You know the one—the mom, dad, siblings, a dog, and the house with the white picket fence. Why do we all strive for the same thing, just for it to fall apart? In my case, I lost my mom. Others lose their dad. Some are raised in completely different family structures. Some have no structure… Continue reading Breaking The Traditional Views of Life

The Silent Link: How My Mother’s Cancer Shaped My Mental Health
I didn’t understand what mental health was until a few years ago. That might sound surprising coming from someone who has spent most of their life silently struggling, but that’s exactly why. I lived with the symptoms without knowing the name. I lived with the weight of emotions I couldn’t explain. I was hurting long… Continue reading The Silent Link: How My Mother’s Cancer Shaped My Mental Health
My gift is not mine to keep
For the longest time, I thought my gift was something I had to protect. Tuck it away, polish it quietly, and maybe, just maybe—share it with the world when I was ready. But I’ve come to realize something much deeper: My gift is not mine to keep. I wasn’t given clarity so I could sit… Continue reading My gift is not mine to keep
Living in a dream state
Living in a dream state ever since, walking through the hush of half-lit rooms, where shadows bloom and voices blur, and yesterday feels closer than today. And if we’re really being honest, I didn’t even understand the magnitude of the loss then— how could I? The world cracked quietly, like a hairline fracture in glass,… Continue reading Living in a dream state

But grief, if you… Continue reading What I’m Learning from Grief

The future’s a shadow, Too far to touch, I never thought of it— Never thought that much.… Continue reading envision a future
Prioritizing Curiosity
If I were to have a child, I’d teach them to ask, to dream, to be wild, To prioritize curiosity above all, To question the sky, the stars, the fall. I’d guide them to wonder, not just to know, To let their minds wander and freely grow. To seek answers not with fear, but with… Continue reading Prioritizing Curiosity
I lost my Spark
I lost my spark, I lost my glow, I lost my joy, Where did it go? How do I find it, Bring it back to me? Does anyone know Where my light used to be? I search through the dark, I search through the rain, Hoping to feel That joy once again.
I asked God
I asked God for certain things, Not seeing how He answered, with wings. My life, a battle with shallow calls, Trying to knock me from my walls. I begged for more, for what I sought, And He, in grace, gave all I thought. He never failed, though I may have, My mind betrayed, lost in… Continue reading I asked God
