And For The First Time
Healing after a relationship is such a personal journey, one that can’t really be rushed or fit neatly into a timeline. It’s been about a year since my relationship ended, and I’ve spoken before about how that process has been for me. Lately, I’ve noticed that things feel different in…

Letting Go
Today, I’m feeling incredibly proud of myself, because I recently took a major step in my healing journey. I decided it was finally time to let go—completely. I deleted all the photos of us when we were happy, erased the old conversations, and, most importantly, removed his contact from my…

Quality Time Together
There’s something uniquely special about spending time with my daughters. As they grow, I’ve noticed how our bond evolves, especially when we find activities that we all genuinely enjoy. Lately, our go-to bonding time has been spent in the colorful, creative world of Roblox, where we’ve discovered a shared love…
