Dear teenaged self,
One day, you’re going to learn that you can have anything you want if you set your mind to it and work for it. One day, you’re going to realize that you are capable of manifesting just about anything, even when it seems impossible. One day, you’re going to see just how capable, powerful, and

A Poetic Paradox
– A story of loss, hope, reunion, grief, and unconditional love. In July of 2021, my then-16-year-old cat, Casey, went missing two months before I moved about 2 hours north of my hometown, Dracut MA. He had been an indoor outdoor cat for his entire life, and one day just never returned. After our efforts

29. The last decade was a wild ride. I feel like I’ve been at least a dozen different people since I was 19 – I have lived a lot of life, being reborn again and again. I’ve grown, I’ve overcome, I’ve learned SO much. These last ten years were years I once never imagined I

Starting my career in Mental Health.
I’ve been working so hard to get to this place and become who I am today. I am no longer the young girl who cries every night praying for death to take me in my sleep. I am no longer the preteen who started self mutilating. I am no longer the teenager who begs for

Following the path that you think you should is different from following the path that you feel is right.
The times I’ve tried to conform are the times I was met with the most fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. I had a lack mentality and struggled to have hope. The more I step away from what I’m expected to do towards what I genuinely want for myself, the more supported I feel. Things fall into

Capitalist Cataclysm
We are living in a world full of miserable people that work miserable jobs just to earn money that will never fill the void in their miserable life because they gave up on their dreams before they ever gave them a chance. People who go out on a limb and actually TRY to follow their

Earth Day 4.22.23
If you don’t see the importance in appreciating the Earth, I am so sorry for how lost you must be. We are not only an extension of the Earth, but the Earth is an integral part of us. Be aware that the Earth herself is conscious!!! She feels, she loves, she aches!!! She can be

It is so scary to let people in.
I’m trying so hard to find the balance between being a good friend and being good to myself. I’m trying my hardest to be open to others, to be vulnerable, to give them the benefit of the doubt… but I’m also trying my best to be protective of my energy. There’s only four people in
