*After years of silence, I’m finally starting again. This is for every woman who’s ever tried to start over but didn’t know how.

Why I Left This Blog Quiet for So Long

Typical of me to come on here at the start of a new month, trying to start again.
Even as I write this, I’m asking myself:
“Am I for real this time?”
Is this a restart… or just another sprint followed by silence?

The truth is — I’ve been paying for this domain for years.
I’ve poured money, time, tears, and so much hope into keeping this dream alive.

But life happened.
And this blog — my safe space — sat quiet.

Today marks the first time in years I’m writing here again.
And honestly? I’m a mix of nervous and excited.

What This Space Used to Be for Me

I remember what this blog was when it first started:
A space where I could be fully myself.
Where I could share without holding back.
Where I could show up without fear of being judged — and you all felt like friends.

I miss that version of this community.
And I miss that version of me, too.

Can We Rebuild This Community Together?

Things have changed.
Not in a bad way — just differently.
I’ve grown older. and wiser.
But the truth? That bright-eyed 24-year-old who started this blog never quite felt the same without it.

So here I am.
Starting again, but this time with less pressure and more grace.

Will you still connect with my stories?
Will we still build something meaningful here?
I truly hope so.

What to Expect Moving Forward

For now, I’m committing to show up every week.
To write — for you or for me — until we find our way back to each other again.

If you’ve been silently waiting to return to something that used to bring you joy…
This is your permission to start again.
Not perfectly.
Just honestly.

So… how have you been?
