    There are days no one posts about.The ones where you wake up and just stare — at the ceiling, the wall, the clock — wondering how you’re supposed to keep doing this. No coffee quote or “you got this” pep talk makes it better. You’re just tired. Bone-deep tired. The kind of tired that sleep…

    Sometimes I think life is just one big game of Pac-Man. You’re out here, minding your business, trying to eat those little glowing pellets (aka life’s daily challenges). Bills? Chomp. Deadlines? Chomp. That awkward small talk with your boss in the breakroom? Chomp. But just when you think you’ve got a rhythm going — BOOM.…

    Some days it feels like the world is sitting on your chest. Bills pile up, the phone won’t stop buzzing, work drains the last ounce of energy you thought you had, and your brain won’t shut off long enough to catch a breath. Pressure. Stress. Expectations. Life can feel like a never-ending to-do list, and…

    You finally save up a little money → your car decides it wants new brakes, new tires, and probably a new soul. You finally get caught up on laundry → it rains for three days straight and suddenly you have no dry socks. You finally eat healthy for a week → your coworker shows up…

    If you’re waiting for the perfect moment, you’ll be waiting forever. The truth is, no one wakes up feeling ready to change their life. That voice in your head will always find a reason to wait—“I need more time.”“I need to figure everything out first.”“I’ll start when I feel stronger.” But growth rarely feels comfortable.…

    She wasn’t the type you’d expect. She had a kind smile, worked double shifts, and always asked people how they were doing—really doing. People said she was “so strong,” “so independent,” “so put together.” They didn’t see her car parked in the same dark lot every night, shaking hands tracing the edges of a bottle…

    I once tried to be the “put together” person. You know the type—smooth hair, matching socks, cucumber water kind of vibe. But somewhere between my third coffee, chasing a rogue sock-stealing dog, and accidentally replying “love you” to my boss… I realized I’m more “chaotic resilience” than calm perfection. And honestly? I like her better.She…

    You’ll hit traffic (stress), construction (healing), detours (growth), and maybe a few potholes (mistakes)…But you’ll also see sunsets you didn’t plan for and meet people you never expected. So breathe. Reroute. Laugh at the wrong turns.And remember: even with the mess, you’re still moving forward.Even if it’s with one shoe on and a snack in…

    Healing isn’t always soft music and journaling. Sometimes it’s crying in the shower and then laughing at memes 2 minutes later. If you relate to any of these, congrats—you’re probably healing… chaotically. 1.

    Some wounds don’t bleed anymore, but they still ache. They whisper reminders of battles fought—some won, some survived. We call them scars. And for a long time, I was ashamed of mine.
