Thank you, Tylar. For real. For being like an older brother to me when I didn’t even realize I needed one. As someone who already is an older sibling, it’s been such a gift having someone else I can turn to. Someone who gets it, someone I can talk to without overthinking, someone I canContinue reading “To Tylar — Like the Big Brother I Didn’t Know I Needed 🎧💬🖤”

To Devin — I’m Glad We’re Friends 🎮🎶🖤
I’ll be real — I never thought we were going to be friends. For a while, I genuinely thought you didn’t like me. But that wasn’t you — that was just me overthinking, like I tend to do. Funny how the mind plays tricks on you, especially when you’re not used to people sticking around.Continue reading “To Devin — I’m Glad We’re Friends 🎮🎶🖤”

I don’t say it enough, but thank you. For everything. Thank you for always being there for me — not just when things are easy, but especially when they’re not.

Everyone But Me
I wear my cape invisible— stitched together with silence and savior complexes. I’m the fixer, the shoulder, the late-night voice that picks up at 3AM when you call crying, even when I’m drowning too. I’ve patched up heartbreak with duct tape words, stitched shattered self-esteem with borrowed prayers, held hands through storms I wasn’t strongContinue reading “Everyone But Me”
“Choose Who Chooses You”
I used to chase shadows, people with smiles like mirages— looked like love from a distance but vanished when I got too close. I gave my best to hands that never held me back. Poured my soul into empty cups hoping they’d overflow when they barely even dripped effort. You ever bend over backwards justContinue reading ““Choose Who Chooses You””
Out of My League
(A Spoken Word Poem) I got a crush like gravity — pulling me toward someone I’ll never touch, like the moon whispering sweet nothings to the waves, knowing they’ll never hold her. You’re… the type of beautiful that poems can’t hold, the kind of smile that architects should study, the kind of laugh that echoesContinue reading “Out of My League”
“Still Rising (The Designer’s Confession)”
🎤 I am… Designer by day, Poet by heart, Sketching dreams on deadlines And bleeding truth into bars after dark. I don’t just clock in — I create in color While the grayscale of my mind Tries to pull me under. But nah, I ain’t drowning — I’ve learned to swim through the noise, ToContinue reading ““Still Rising (The Designer’s Confession)””
“How Do You Escape?”: The Good, the Bad, and the Healing in Our Coping Mechanisms
We all want to feel good. To feel safe. To feel something other than pain, emptiness, anxiety, or exhaustion. And for many of us, that means we need a way to escape—even if just for a moment. Some people retreat into nature. Some into Netflix. Others into a bottle, a body, or a perfectly curatedContinue reading ““How Do You Escape?”: The Good, the Bad, and the Healing in Our Coping Mechanisms”
Today Was a Good Day: A Reflection on Growth, Grace, and Showing Up
Today was one of those rare days where everything feels aligned — not because it was perfect, but because it was real. There were laughs, deep thoughts, sun, food, and moments that cracked my heart open just enough to let some light in. It started off simple enough — church in the morning, which alwaysContinue reading “Today Was a Good Day: A Reflection on Growth, Grace, and Showing Up”
