life lately + some old developed film 🤍
.
If you know me, you know I always have a disposable camera with me 📸 i cry almost every time I get my photos back just because I’m reminded of some of the sweetest memories and the love that surrounds me! I seem to always get them back exactly when I need it most too 🤍 blessed beyond measure, no matter the circumstances!
Proof of life 🤍 Taking time away from social media these last 6 months has been eye-opening. In my space of growth and self-discovery, I’ve realized that some parts of what I thought were my personality weren’t really mine at all—they came from my upbringing, my environment, or they were shields I put up as defenses. Through self-awareness & inner work, I’m uncovering the traits that actually feel authentic and true to me. I feel like my best self !
Being offline also shifted how I see social media itself. I’ve realized how much of what we share here is simply for others to see—we already know the details of our own lives. I discovered the sweetness of privacy & solitude & i really want to maintain that! The people I love most don’t need social media to know what’s happening with me; we connect in real time, with more intention, depth, and intimacy. And I’ve come to value those genuine exchanges so much more than this silly app. Im not sure if I’m ‘back back’, but dropping in felt good today 🤍
THANK YOU GOD 🙏🏼✨ 2024 was a year of joy, laughter, lessons, growth & an abundance of BLESSINGS! I am so grateful for these amazing memories I got to share with my friends and family this year !
Let’s do it all again 2025, but even better ✨✨✨
Movement is medicine 🌪️
.
But so is stillness, tranquility & calm. Moving through this busy season whilst reminding myself to take essential moments of rest when I can, stay focused on the good, be grateful for opportunities & remove anything that doesn’t bring me peace 🧘🏻♀️

Happy Holidays Everyone xo
