You Don’t Find Yourself, You Build Yourself
You’re not lost… you’re just building. I used to think I had to “find” myself somewhere out there, but I’ve learned that who we are isn’t discovered, it’s created. Every experience, choice, and challenge becomes part of the blueprint. This piece is a reminder that growth doesn’t come from searching, it comes from building.

“The Cost of Comfort”
Comfort feels good in the moment, but it quietly robs you of your time, your opportunities, and your growth. I’ve learned the hard way that the real price of comfort is much higher than the pain of letting go. This piece is about recognizing where comfort is holding you back and choosing growth, even when…

I Schedule My Posts… and Here’s Why
If you’re not scheduling your posts, then what are you really doing? I don’t treat social media like a random scroll fest. I treat it like a system. Scheduling my content keeps me consistent without burning out, frees up my time to actually live, and makes it look like I’m everywhere without me being glued to…

Today and everyday remember you have free will
Some days it feels like life is already written for us…jobs, responsibilities, routines, expectations. But the truth is, you have free will.

People love the idea of you until they meet the boundaries of you
People love the idea of you, it’s limitless, exciting, effortless. But the moment they run into your boundaries, the story changes. Suddenly, you’re not as easy, not as convenient, not as perfect as the idea they built in their head. What I’ve learned is this: boundaries aren’t walls, they’re filters. They show you who truly…

Another day… yay.
It’s National Suicide Prevention Month. If you’ve stood at the edge and come back for reasons you can’t name, take a look: the people you’ve met, the coping tools you’ve built, the little wins that kept you here. My silly mantra helps: ‘Another day… yay.’ It’s not a cure, just a lifeline to the present.

What Do I Want My Art to Say?
What do I want my art to say? At its core, I want it to speak truth. I want it to remind us to be human, to look deeper within ourselves, and to believe that ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
