How it started

I hadn’t read for fun in years.

Between work, school, and life, I convinced myself I didn’t have time.

Then I picked up The Last Letter.

I wasn’t expecting it to change anything.

But somehow it reminded me why I used to love books.

Since then I’ve fallen into fantasy, thrillers, late-night reading sessions, and saying “just one more chapter” way too many times.

This account is just me documenting that journey.

If you’re rediscovering reading too, welcome. 📚

I stopped saying “I’m going to…” and started doing what was easiest so I could finally stay consistent. No crazy routines. No pressure to be perfect. No trying to change everything overnight. I just started with what felt doable. Walking. Simple workouts. Showing up even when I didn’t

Having locs is a journey. This is mine💚. I had a perm for almost 10 years and did a huge chop. My locs were little babies just beginning to bud. Styles, hair dye, and learning how to twist my own hair to save money it was all apart of the loc journey. There's so many colors I wanted to try but
