And so, the 25th year begins.

Hello wanderer of the internet! Last Wednesday (06/25/25) was my 24th birthday, as well as a new moon in Cancer. I spent a lot of time that day, and also in the days preceding and following, reflecting on everything up until this phase of life, as well as setting my intentions for the upcoming chapters. This practice included journaling, creating art, reading, photography, and tarot. I’ve shared a photo I took of my P.O.V. during this sacred time for myself below.

I have been very intentional about how I spend my time, both with my family and alone. I’ve been exploring creatively in many different regards, and also using that time to help my kids explore new things as well. Another thing outside of hobbies and passions I’ve been taking time for, is processing my trauma, and also participating in local demonstrations and activism. I have to say, I think I’ve really found my calling. I’m still trying to work out the kinks and structure, but I want my presence and energy both online and offline, to be one where I use my creative passions to share my story and advocate for others in many different regards.

I know this post may seem disorganized and vague. I just want to announce that how I may show up and express my creations and views may be shifting here soon. And I hope both those who have been on this journey with me for a long time, as well as those who will join me in the future, will enjoy the shift and benefit from it. I am entering a new era.

Let the 25th year begin.
