This week felt like I was running a marathon on a treadmill with no finish line, just a relentless loop of emotional exhaustion, medical battles, and work deadlines tapping me on the shoulder like an impatient teacher. I had to fight really hard to get the medical care […]
You ever walk through soup? Not metaphorically. I mean real, breathable soup. That was me today on my way home. Dragging my legs like they were filled with lead and regret through the thickest, heaviest air this side of a pressure cooker. The kind of air that slaps […]
Let me just say this real quick before my eyelids fully give up on this day and slide down my face like melted mascara: I am tired. Capital T. Italics. Possibly in another font entirely. I woke up today with a long to-do list and the resolve of […]
You ever wake up on a Monday and just know in the pit of your stomach, the ache in your knees, the existential sigh before your first cup of coffee—that the week ahead is going to be long? Like…crawling-through-wet-cement long? That was me this week. Before I even […]
Some people treat rest like it’s dessert. You only get it if you’ve eaten your vegetables, cleared your inbox, fixed your soul, walked the dog, and saved the world twice. And even then—maybe—you’re allowed to sit down. For ten minutes. As a treat. But let me be clear: […]

It’s been a few days since I last sat down to write. My grand intention was to craft something thoughtful and profound, but instead, I’ve been falling asleep way too early, face down on my couch, remote in hand. Honestly, I can’t tell if it’s from exhaustion or […]
Is it Thursday already? Or should I say, finally? This week has felt like it’s lasted a month, and last week’s 4th of July falling on a Thursday didn’t help. Celebrating freedom with fireworks only to drag myself to work on Friday was a mental challenge of epic […]
