It’s been a damn long year

2025 has to be better

2024/12/19 Edited to

... Read moreThe transition from year to year often brings a wave of emotions. Many individuals find themselves longing for simpler times, as expressed in the OCR content, where there's a desire to relive carefree moments, like losing oneself in a cornfield or attending an unforgettable barn party. Nostalgia can be a powerful motivator, inspiring us to seek experiences that bring joy and connection. This is especially true as we look forward to a fresh start in 2025. As we navigate the complexities of life, it's important to remember the lessons learned and the joy found in small moments. Engaging in community gatherings, whether they are large or small, allows us to reconnect with our roots and cherish the present. Letting go of the past while embracing new adventures can lead to growth and happiness. Consider planning gatherings with friends or family, or exploring new hobbies that spark joy. Ultimately, as we anticipate the coming year, let's carry forward the spirit of exploration and connection that reminds us to celebrate life, in all its messy, beautiful forms.

I've been wanting to do this for so long~ 📖
one of my main goals for this year was to read more books, but a couple months went by and I didn't read at all! I knew I needed to get out of this slump... so I decided to take advantage of my weird obsession with journaling and documenting things and I started my very own reading journal!

They said I was quiet. Too calm. Too chill. Too “nice” to be a problem. Until they found out what silence was holding back. Until I smiled in the face of the storm they created. Until I said: don’t disrespect quiet people… Because the ones who’ve been holding it in the longest? We don’t j

A Woman’s Place Is Wherever She Damn Well Pleases

This was awhile ago back in Jan 2024. One thing about me, in my dating profile I always put in a big girl, plus sizes I’m quite honest about it, so they know what they are getting into. They see a pretty face and match, they never read. Don’t worry he’s long gone, blocked and everything. #datingap
