“Who let me think I could do this?”

(Me, spiraling last week about my running journey, and content creation in general lol)

Imposter syndrome hit HARD with my running lately and honestly, sharing about it on my stories felt a little scary. But you guys showed up for me, truly. The messages I received and the KINDNESS that you gave? I didn’t realize how much I needed that, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’m going into this week feeling lighter, focusing on the basics. Making time for myself. Running because it makes me feel like I’m flying. Getting the hell outside. That’s it. No overthinking, no pressure, just joy.

And because words have a chokehold on me recently, here are a few that stopped me in my tracks this week and completely shifted my perspective when I needed it the most. Swipe through and let me know which one resonates with you the most.

The image features the title "HOW TO GET OUT OF A SLUMP" in red text. It shows a hand holding a smartphone with a blank screen and a bed with clothes on it, all against a light pink background with red accents.

This image defines a "slump" as having no motivation despite tasks, listing symptoms like excessive phone usage, inability to get out of bed, feeling groggy, and being unable to complete tasks. It asks "so.. how do we get out of it?" with a swipe prompt.

The image presents five tactics to overcome a slump: the 5-second rule, the 5-minutes rule, using past mistreatment as motivation, romanticizing small tasks, and watching motivational videos. It notes these are personal tips, not guaranteed fixes.

Grieving the loss of someone who’s still alive

Losing someone important to you due to their own choices can be one of the most difficult experiences any human could endure. The sheer part of letting go is the hardest. Why would you let go of someone that’s still there? Doesn’t that show YOU’VE given up? Or maybe you agree to the choice as well?

ONE THING I THINK CHRISTIANS COULD BE BETTER AT

This might just be my personal experience, but I think part of the problem with the removal of Christianity in our culture stems from our inability to be bold, know “The Word,” and get out there! It’s so easy to stay in our Christian bubbles and there’s so much fear behind allowing others to know w
