Teaser from Finding Hope: From Isolation to Intention
“I survived because of you.
Because when I was dying inside that RV,
when I couldn’t move or scream or even cry anymore
your voice in my head was the only thing louder than the silence.”
Day 352: Smoke Signals
It was a decent day.
Nothing too loud, nothing too heavy.
But the smoke filled the sky—
and I’m sure there’s a metaphor in that somewhere.
Something about how even on clear days,
the past can still linger,
still blur the edges of everything.
Maybe the…
Day 351: Waiting on the Starting Line
I’m over it.
Not in the sense of giving up—just tired of waiting, tired of being told it’s about to begin only for the plan to shift again.
I’m supposed to be starting a career, but every time I think the track is clear, the starting line…
Day 350: Ink & Ease
Found therapy in writing today.
Let the words carry some of the weight.
It’s been a good day.
And that’s something worth holding onto.

“I didn’t write because I was okay.
I wrote because I wasn’t,
and…

“Maybe healing doesn’t always feel like rising.
Sometimes it just looks like not falling apart today.”
Day 349: Idle Hands
Not a big fan of these weekend days.
Too much stillness, too much space.
My mind gets idle, and I start thinking about my friend again.
I try not to. I really do.
But some thoughts don’t care if they’re invited.
That said…
I’m excited to start the new…
Day 348: Slow Drift
Bored today.
One of those slow days that puts me too deep in my own head.
Nothing heavy. Just… echoey.
Trying not to follow every thought down the rabbit hole.
*Teaser from *Finding Hope: From Isolation to Intention **
“Silence was supposed to be peaceful.…
*Teaser* *Finding Hope: From Isolation to Intention*
“I didn’t want to die.
I just didn’t know how to live without her.
So I made her my reason
even if she didn’t know. Even if she never would.”
Day 347: Good Company
The day was good.
Hung out with some friends.
Laughed a bit. Let myself just be.
And sometimes, that’s the whole story.
And that’s more than enough.
*Teaser** *Finding Hope: From Isolation to Intention **
“What saved me wasn’t closure or control.
It was…
*Teaser *Finding Hope: From Isolation to Intention **
“I thought healing would feel like strength.
But today it feels more like surrender
like finally unclenching my fist around something that was already gone.”
Day 346: So Far, So Good
Sunny skies today.
Easy breath, steady pace—nothing major to report.
And honestly? I’ll take that.
Sometimes peace is the headline.

“It wasn’t obsession—it was hope.
The last fragile thread I had to hold onto when everything else…
Day 345: Countdown
20 more days.
I’ve never been more ready to finish something
not out of exhaustion,
but out of purpose.
This one means something.
And I can’t wait to share what comes next.
The next project. The next step.
It’s almost time.
One Step. One Punch. One Round.…
Day 344: Gray on the Inside
Dreary day today.
Clouds overhead, and a little fog in my chest too.
I’ve been keeping my spirits up
but just like thoughts,
some days drift in a little heavier than others.
Not broken. Not lost.
Just… somber.
And that’s okay too.
One Step. One…
Day 343: Holding On to Light
Woke up in a good mood today.
No reason, really—just light in the chest instead of weight.
So I’ve been trying to hold onto it.
Trying not to let the thoughts creep in and steal it away.
Trying not to spiral or overanalyze the feeling.
Just let it…
Day 342: Done and Still
Finished up a project I’ve been pouring myself into
closed the tab, took a breath, let it go.
Then I sat by the water.
Magnolia ran circles through the grass,
tongue out, tail wagging, no worries in the world.
And for a moment, neither did I.
There’s…
Day 341: Steady Now
Not every day has a breakthrough.
Not every day needs one.
Some days are just… steady.
No collapse. No spark. Just forward.
And honestly, that’s something I never used to believe was possible.
To feel this grounded.
To be okay without needing it to be…
Day 340: Proud of Me
I’ve been working on something pretty big
something that’s made me dig back through old posts, old notes, old wounds.
And honestly… it’s been a ride.
But reading it all, feeling it all again
it reminded me of just how far I’ve come.
How many times I…
Day 339: Perspective
No matter where you feel like you are
lost, behind, unsure, undone
just remember where you were.
Remember what you’ve survived.
What you’ve rebuilt.
What you thought you’d never come back from.
You’re not there anymore.
Even if it still echoes.
Even if it…
