Content warning: discussion of rape and abuse. This is long overdue. I wasn't ready before, which is why it's taken so long, but now I have to get this off my chest. I can't keep protecting this man to avoid backlash when other girls may be at risk. The man that raped me is Melchizedek... Continue Reading →
Backstory: I used to use an app/site called LyfApp wherein people have a safe space to essentially live journal their feelings on different "journeys" in their lives.

Hello world! How are things going in all of your bubbles? This is a truly strange time we're living in. It's uncertain, stressful, and at times just plain old boring.

And what hits me the most is how much we've grown together. As adults it becomes increasingly... Continue Reading →
Originally posted on Patreon. 28. Late 20s. Approaching the end of a decade. People sometimes say that the 20s are for figuring things out and the 30s are for enjoying the results. I'm pleased to say that I feel ahead of the game in the figuring things out department. I don't really agree with these... Continue Reading →

This is an age old question that people have debated over. In this modern age a knee jerk response might be, "Duh, how can you even ask that?" But there are still others who will say, "Not really. Not close friends because the sexual tension is always there." So what's my stance? The short answer... Continue Reading →
Imposter syndrome is that super fun feeling of incompetence despite obvious qualifications and success (which is dismissed as dumb luck) in your field. It was first used to describe how high achieving women often felt anxious about their status because (duh, the Patriarchy sucks) society trained them to believe that high powered jobs are meant...
