It’s okay to be just okay.

They told me this would be the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life, and I’m finding they were right. I was never one to purge before I started recovering from this disorder. I didn’t expect butterflies and rainbows, but I expected things to be easier this far in. I’m 18 months […]

Farväl 2019!

on 31 December, 20195 January, 2020 // Bookish, Life

Real talk: I had no idea what the future held in 2019. This past year was very much lived in the present, mostly with me trying to figure out how I was expected to be an adult and find my own place to live when I only recently learned I had to build credit because […]

Somewhere along the way, I was too excited about the idea of moving out of my paternal grandmother’s house in exchange for more freedoms and getting closer to total independence that I didn’t realize what I was actually getting myself into. I’ve traded my why-nots in for because-I-said-sos, against my wishes to never pull the […]

Welcome to the circus

How long has it been since I shared about the mundanities of my life? Although not yet completely, I moved into the new house with Charlise & Fam, so I can make sure the boys don’t burn the house down whilst she’s away with the intended parents (IPs) for her surrogate child. It’s me, two […]
