25th Birthday

Three years ago, I left Algeria and everything familiar behind to start over in the States. The journey wasn't easy-I've faced nights when anxiety and depression made the world feel like it was collapsing around me

But today, I celebrate a new chapter. Jumping out of that plane wasn't just skydiving--it was me letting go of fear, pain, and doubt, and choosing to feel alive again

Here's to 25, to survival, to courage, and to becoming the strongest version of myself

How I Spent My 25th Birthday Abroad | Budapest 🇭🇺

We started off our day at Coffee Works , where I had a dirty chai latte and a Swedish bun - both of which were delicious. I stopped here several times on my last trip to Budapest so, I knew I wanted to stop there this time as well. After breakfast we headed to St. Stephen's Basilica , w

Day in my life: 25th birthday edition

I got lucky and ended up having my birthday off of work yesterday! So here's a little slow-living day in my life! I prepped for the show I'm producing on Saturday (we sold out last night! an AMAZING birthday gift!), got some chores done around the house, and took some time for self care.
