living alone diaries: for all the years grief stole from you
grief is tricky and not enough of us are talking about how to co-exist with it. i'm learning that grief never really leaves you, but rather you learn to cope overtime. whether it be a romantic partnership, family member or past version of yourself, there truly is no time limit that can be set on how long you should grieve what is no longer.
the best thing that i've done for myself was fully immerse myself within the present moment and practice mindfulness to not allow my mind drift too far off into the deep end. and if it does, that's ok. learning to create space for all my thoughts and feelings without passing judgement. you should try it too. anyways, i hope your week is going amazing! take care all ways, always. enjoy! xo ❣️

zhlédnutí 51KPřed 14 dny
they say home is where the heart is, and 'wherever you go, there you are.' i often ask myself, is the city? or is it me? honestly, it might be me. stillness is the only way i've been able to begin to figure out what it is that i'm actually in search of and longing for. this past year in Atlanta has taught me a little bit. While it's not my forever city, staying put versus forcing myself out of ...

hi boos 🫶🏾, i really wanted to open up the dialogue in exploring the rawness and honesty of what it looks like to fully embrace all of your singleness. what does that look like when you're not actively dating or engaging in casual encounters? what does it look like as a lover girl who loves to romanticize her own life, but isn't receiving romantic experiences from others in her life? anywho, we...

hey boos, it's been a pretty good week over here. staying disciplined with my diet, hitting the gym regardless of my cycle making me feel moody and of course having lots of matcha!

    You have BEAUTIFUL hair!! The olaplex number 5 has really helped me with my curls and also with my silk press! Highly recommend this brand! I’d rather invest on a good shampoo/conditioner, especially when we need to protect our hair from damage.
