Do you believe in love at first sight? Yeah, that question gets thrown around a lot. Some people say it’s all fairytales and movies. Others swear it happened to them. Here’s the thing. I don’t know if you can love someone completely after seeing them once. Like, truly know their soul, trust them, and feel…
No woman wakes up and prays to fall into the arms of low-class men. No one dreams about wasting their time with guys who don’t treat them right, don’t pull their weight, or act like grown toddlers. But somehow, it happens. Again and again. And if this sounds familiar, don’t feel bad. But let’s be…
If your first experience with love came with pain, neglect, or betrayal, it can be hard to know what a healthy relationship actually looks like. You might find yourself repeating old patterns. Even when they hurt. Because they feel familiar. And safe. Even when they aren’t. That’s why healing is important. Healing helps you break…
We all have those days. You wake up, look in the mirror, and all you can think is, “What’s the point?” Sometimes, it hits out of nowhere. Other times, it builds up after a rough week or a comment that stung more than you wanted to admit. But for some of us, especially those who…
We’ve all heard the advice: “Just stay positive.” At first, it sounds like harmless encouragement. Who wouldn’t want to be positive, right?

If you’ve ever felt like talk therapy just isn’t for you, you’re far from alone. Therapy is often seen as the main way to care for your mental health. And while I truly believe in it and often recommend it, I also know it doesn’t always work for everyone. Sometimes it’s too expensive. Sometimes it’s…
After sharing my last post on self-care, I realized I wasn’t finished. Honestly, I don’t think I ever will be finished. Self-care isn’t just a side topic—it’s the foundation of healing, growth, and even joy. The truth is, most of us were never really taught what self-care looks like. Maybe you grew up with parents…
After growing up with a narcissistic parent, healing isn’t just a suggestion. It becomes something you slowly, painfully, and sometimes confusingly figure out because you have no other choice. This post is a collection of everything I’ve learned through my own healing. Some lessons came from research. Others came from hard life moments that knocked…
Let me start by saying this. If you grew up with a narcissistic parent, you’re not imagining things. The damage is real. It lives in your mind, your body, your choices, your relationships, and the way you see yourself. And for many of us, the abuse wasn’t even obvious. It was quiet. Subtle. Hidden behind…
Our 20s are wild. It is one of the most important stages of life, yet it feels like the most confusing. We’re suddenly thrown into adulthood with no rulebook, no clear answers, and a hundred expectations.
