Welcome!
Welcome to my corner of the internet, where I share my thoughts, reflections, and musings on life, growth, and the human experience. I write about mental health, healing, recovery, grief, and the lessons I encounter along the way, as well as the changes I’d love to see in education and mental health awareness. Writing is my way of making sense of the world, often through stream-of-consciousness style. Perhaps you might find something that teaches, inspires, or empowers you in your own journey.
I not only love writing about my own experiences and perspectives, I love sharing others’ inspiring stories, too. Please visit my Unshared Stories page below, where I share stories of personal growth, resilience, and overcoming challenges, including experiences with mental health, racism, and sexism. I promise these stories will open your eyes to new perspectives.

There are certain roles that come into your life quietly, almost unexpectedly—and then end up leaving a mark on you far deeper than you ever imagined. Scuttle was one of those roles for me.
I Thought I Was Grieving Stranger Things — Turns Out It Was Something Bigger
I didn’t think a TV show could unlock so many emotions — until Stranger Things ended. What followed was a mix of nostalgia, grief, and reflection on friendship, growing up, and change. This blog explores how stories grow with us — and what it means to move forward without leaving ourselves behind.
