Just a girl missing her dad for the holidays
As I navigate the ups and downs of my life, there are moments that seem too personal, too raw to share. Yet, I find solace in expressing these shadows to light the way for others who might feel alone in their struggles. Losing my dad was a turning point in my life. (He passed in 2018 and I yes I

💙 Father’s Day Feels Different When You’re Missing Someone
Father’s Day used to be about celebrating, laughing, and making memories. Now it’s a day filled with reflection, gratitude, and a little extra longing. Losing my dad changed many things, but it never changed the love I have for him. Some people leave this world, but they never leave our hearts.

Balance studying during the holidays
The holidays can feel like a whirlwind, but I’ve found ways to balance studying while soaking up all the festive vibes. For starters, I create a holiday study schedule where I block out just a couple of hours to focus, so I can relax and enjoy the rest of the day guilt-free. And to stay motivated,

Feeling lonely and tempted around the holidays?
The holidays don’t make you miss him, they make you miss the version of love you were hoping for. December is a seductive month. Lights are warm, families look perfect, traditions feel soft… and loneliness gets loud. But remember this: if he wanted to choose you, he would have chosen you ever

navigating coparenting during the holidays
With the holidays approaching, I’ve been feeling a mix of emotions that many co-parents might relate to. As magical as this season is, it also brings a bittersweetness when you’re sharing time with your child. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt to imagine missing out on some of those precious

The Holidays Don’t Feel The Same
Everyone talks about winter magic, but no one talks about how painful this season can be when someone you love isn’t here anymore. Winter has a way of making grief feel louder. The cold, the quiet, the holidays… everything reminds you of who’s missing. Any advice would be helpful. #cozycha
