We don’t talk about it!

7/13 Edited to

... Read moreI've noticed that many people, myself included, shy away from discussing death and grief openly. It's almost like there's an unspoken rule to avoid these topics because they make us uncomfortable. From my personal experience, this avoidance often stems from fear and uncertainty—none of us really know what tomorrow holds, and thinking about death can feel overwhelming. However, over time, I found that when I allowed myself to face these feelings, it brought a surprising sense of peace. Talking about grief and loss with friends or support groups helped me process my emotions rather than burying them. It’s true that society celebrates birth and new beginnings, but rarely do we honor the natural reality of death. This imbalance contributes to our hesitation. One phrase that really stuck with me is: “Life and death can happen in an instant.” This truth reminded me to appreciate each moment and not take time for granted. Carpe diem isn’t just a catchy saying—it’s a mindset that encourages us to live more intentionally and cherish our relationships. I also discovered the value of being mindful and present, recognizing that grief isn’t a linear process but a journey with ups and downs. Sharing spirit messages and stories of those we have lost can be healing, creating a community of understanding and support. Ultimately, while it’s uncomfortable, opening up about grief and death can transform our perspective on life itself. It encourages us to live authentically and connect more deeply with ourselves and others. So, I encourage anyone reading this to start small—acknowledge your feelings, reach out to someone you trust, and embrace the magic of living fully, even amid uncertainty.

Things We Don’t Talk About Enough 🫣💬💗
A convo with someone I love cracked something open in me… These are the things I carry but don’t always say out loud. The thoughts that pile up quietly in the background of my day. The ones that aren’t dramatic but still weigh a little heavy. This list isn’t to complain — it’s just to be real

We Don’t Fight. We Just Don’t Talk.
There’s a kind of conflict no one talks about the kind that doesn’t come with raised voices or slamming doors. Just silence. Unspoken tension. Conversations that used to flow but now feel strained or scripted. I’ve been there. We didn’t fight. We just stopped talking. And that slow, quiet dis

10 Things That Should Be Private in a Relationship
Romantic relationships are extremely special. It’s like having a built-in partner in crime that knows some of the most intimate details about you and your life. However, because of the access we have to our partners past, present and future, it can be easy to break trust without even realizing it.

why is it *so* taboo?! 😵😵‍💫🤫🫠😬😑
This is a topic I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. As women, we often aren’t taught how to deal with money, or accepted in spaces that deal with financial conversations. We are told to tackle the “home” while the man tackles the “harder” things, aka finances, etc. I found an interesting ar
