“I am not afraid, I was made for this.” – Joan of Arc
Welcome to my letters. I write these to those who feel it. Sometimes feeling someone else’s emotions can teach you a bit more about yourself. Please read them gently, as they are to everyone.
An Ode to CA
What a contradiction – to love being a homebody just as much as loving exploring. If there’s one thing this temporary move to Europe has taught me, it’s that I love having my own space. One that I’ve customized to my liking, that I’ve made comfortable for me, that embodies everything I find cozy, fun,…
A Letter to the Hero
Being a person who is the life of the party is always a blast.Being a person who is everyone’s go-to for trauma dumping is flattering.Being a person everyone calls for emergencies is commendable. But who’s the hero’s hero? (Besides their grandpa?) Who’s comforting them? (Besides their cat?)Who’s rescuing them? (Besides 911? But even they pick…
Thank you, 2021.
This year was truly inspiring. Through a whirlwind of emotions, it’s given me insight on a lot. It’s reminded me of the rewards of consistency. It’s taught me how to generously give my time. It’s encouraged me to be blunt. In my boundaries, my desires, and my non-negotiables. It’s made me to be courageous. Bold.…
Validation Victims

A Letter to Not Hold Onto

To anyone who feels that constant tightness in their chest because they’re holding on to something that makes them anxious, sadness, anger, emptiness, or regretful. I stumbled across this quote – what a great reminder that it’s okay…
Hi, this is for you.
This is a letter to anyone and everyone who I have encountered in my life. You are my friend. No matter how deep our relationship is, you are my friend and I care about you. Even if I don’t personally know you, you’re my friend and I care about you. If you need someone to…
Thank You, My People.
It’s cliché – but it’s true. People enter our lives, some stay and some go. Each one contributes a lesson, a blessing and an experience in life nonexistent without them. People are such an important role in life that allow emotions to thrive like never before. Emotions that make us vulnerable. Emotions that make…
A Letter to Myself.
This is a letter for the girl who is struggling. The girl that just can’t seem to do anything right. The girl that feels like her world is crumbling down. This is a letter for the girl who wants to break down and give up. Don’t do it. Don’t give up. You are stronger than…
