Ever since I was a fish I’ve been legit

2025/1/17 Edited to

Life experiences often shape who we are, and my journey has been heavily influenced by the ocean. Growing up, I felt a deep connection to the sea, which fueled my desire to embrace authenticity. This article reflects on how those formative years inspired resilience and creativity in facing life's challenges. Exploring themes of self-discovery and courage, I invite readers to reflect on their own transformative experiences. In addition, the ocean provides not only a backdrop for adventure but also lessons on adaptation and change. Just like the vast waters that ebb and flow, life demands the ability to navigate through ups and downs, embracing each wave. Through vivid narratives and relatable anecdotes, I hope to inspire others to find their own strength and authenticity while navigating their personal journeys.

My first eye appointment since I was 17 !!!!!

Wow. I haven’t had an eye appointment in 3 years and I broke my glasses over a year ago. Was a little nervous to get my eyes dilated but all went well. I know for a fact my vision has gotten very bad ever since I was pregnant with my son. And don’t even get me started on driving in the dark and

Ever have a goal you thought you’d never meet?

I haven’t been able to do a pull up since the 7th grade, which was…years ago. I’ve always called myself “bottom heavy” and said that my arms were “puny.” I thought my upper body would never be strong enough to lift my lower body. But I did the work, and after months of trying, I can now

The accident I was in, I've basically lost all of my friends. I have no one that will treat me like a normal person. I thought that maybe once I moved out of PA it would be better but I moved to NC and I've made one friend I barely talk to. I want friends but I'm a shy little cucumber.
