 If you’d like to revisit the full journey, you’ll find every piece archived beneath Volume I: 2025.
I wanted to capture the journey through what I posted, since I lived each moment as it came. I’ve placed each caption underneath, exactly as I shared them, so the story unfolds in real time.  I had no idea what this year—or this project—was going to become. I didn’t have a map, just the instinct to keep creating, keep sharing, and keep showing up. Somewhere along the way, I realized it was deeper than I could have expected. It was about me finding myself again in real time. And if you’ve been reading along, I have to thank you. Thank you for seeing me while I was remembering how to see myself. I’ll admit — when it comes to lifestyle blogging, I can be a little lazy about what this niche seems to require. I see people hustling, posting their outfit of the day every morning. But girl, there are times I don’t leave the house for two days. I’m in PJs, the only accessories I’m rocking are my glasses and my Kim K Pro Beats. So I thought it would be fun to do one of these posts — but my way. A little glimpse into my style over the past few months during the project I worked on, plus the personal style tips I actually live by.  I don’t follow trends or style rules. I follow instinct. If it speaks to me, I wear it. So, I’ve been thinking about the ‘reality television’ persona I leaned into online. It really began to come out publicly in 2016, and while I believed it was helping me at the time, in many ways it did more harm than good. I wanted to share a reflection on the psychology behind it — and what was really going on underneath. If you were here for that season, you know I was all over the place. And if you’re new, I hope this reflection helps you understand — and maybe even opens your eyes to your own resilience.  We all build masks to get through hard seasons. Don’t be ashamed of yours. Just know that when the time comes to take it off, there’s a whole new kind of strength and meaning waiting for you. Don’t give up. |
