Dating Again, Healing, and yeah this is good

I’m saving this post to explain more later buuuuuut let’s talk about dating after abuse & therapy. Things are going well and I’m so grateful for the opportunity and space to heal.

Winding Down + New Beginnings

2.5. That’s how many days I have left with my students. 2.5. It’s been a hell of a year and here we are. Finally. 2.5 days left. I was feeling something tonight so I made a lil video lip syncing to one of my favorite Spanish songs (yeah yeah I’m posting it for you toContinue reading “Winding Down + New Beginnings”

Turning the page

I’m turning a new page, starting a new chapter, and it feels so good. Last week, my abuser’s biological sister reached out to me and disclosed some hard information. I had really mixed feelings about it and was blessed to have therapy the next day. I told my therapist that it made me feel gross,Continue reading “Turning the page”

2 years ago today I matched with Mathew Berry on Bumble.

The day that changed my life forever.

Quiet Moments

These days I mourn having quiet moments to myself. Because in these moments, when the world is quiet and I’m left to my mind, my thoughts drift to the loss. Daisy’s birthday is on Sunday and I so mourn. Every quiet moment my mind goes to this fact, drifting to the profound loss and griefContinue reading “Quiet Moments”

New Job + More Therapy

Let’s start with the good: I got a new job!!!! I’ve had 3-4 high schools interested in me and this week I was a finalist at two of the high schools. One of them offered me the position and before I accepted, I asked if I could go on a tour of the building. TheyContinue reading “New Job + More Therapy”

Sunshine + Grief ☀️

I went on a walk this morning with my dog Rosie (I’m taking Rosie and Joey out separately to train them) and on this walk, in the gorgeous sunshine, I saw Kirby and Daisy with me. Kirby, exactly like this in the picture (my favorite picture of him), and Daisy running up ahead of us,Continue reading “Sunshine + Grief ☀️”

It’s not over yet

Jeremiah 29:11 was the scripture verse on my devotional card this morning. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Plans not to harm you. My God blesses me. My God is good toContinue reading “It’s not over yet”

I’m tutoring a professional athlete

And I think that’s really cool. Like a legit pro athlete, making the big $$$, on TV, that kind of pro athlete. At our first session, his agent was there the whole time. Like how wild is that?? I’m tutoring him and his wife in English and I love it. They’re such a lovely coupleContinue reading “I’m tutoring a professional athlete”

Hate + Mental Health

I swear I always get the most hate on Tik Tok when my mental health isn’t as strong as it can be, or maybe it’s just that I feel it the most during these times. Anyway, I’m filtering my comments again because I don’t need to be reading people’s insecurities and internalized misogyny when theyContinue reading “Hate + Mental Health”
