I’m 20, but life made me grow up quick. There was no slow transition, no step-by-step guide. Life just threw everything at me at once and said “deal with it.”
Some days I feel young. Other days I feel old. I’ve seen and felt things that aged me before my time. I learned how to pick myself up without waiting for someone to save me.
It gets heavy. I get tired. I cry. I get back up. Every time.
People don’t talk about how confusing this part is. You miss who you used to be, while trying to become someone better. You want rest, but you keep moving because stopping isn’t an option.
I’m still figuring myself out, but I know one thing for sure: I’ve survived everything I thought would break me.
So yeah. I’m only 20.
But I’m strong.
I’m changing.
I’m still here.
And I’m proud of me for that.
Coming up in December marks one full year of being in my own place 🏡🙏 It still feels unreal sometimes. This past year taught me so much about independence, peace, and what it really means to build a life that feels like mine. There were nights I sat in silence just taking it all in, realizing that after everything I’ve been through, I finally have a space that’s safe, calm, and full of love. It hasn’t been perfect. There were struggles, lessons, and moments I wasn’t sure I’d make it through but I did. Every challenge shaped me into someone stronger and softer at the same time. This home has seen my growth, my healing, my laughter, and even my tears. And through it all, I’ve had Cleo and Paddington right by my side 🐶🐾 my little shadows, my comfort, my constant reminders that love doesn’t have to hurt or be loud to be real. They’ve made this house a home in every way. So as December approaches, I’m just feeling grateful for peace, for progress, for the woman I’m becoming, and for the two fur babies that never left my side. Here’s to one year of standing on my own, and to everything still ahead. 💛✨
Some nights I don’t pray for answers, I just pray for peace.
Because sometimes the weight isn’t in the questions, it’s in the silence that follows them.
I love each and every one of y’all, even if you see me as the black sheep, the one who isn’t ‘successful,’ or the one who doesn’t measure up. The truth is, I’ve made it this far on my own, and that means more to me than anyone’s approval ever could. I’m still standing, I’m still fighting, and I’m still me and that’s something to be proud of.

Blood Isn’t Always Home
Some people wear your last name
but never earned your love.
They sit at your table
but never fed your soul.
I tried to call it loyalty
when I was really bleeding silence,
brushing off their stares,
their guilt dressed up as guidance.
You grow up thinking family means forever
but sometimes it just means
who taught you how to survive.
And who made you forget your worth
just to keep the peace alive.
I learned the hard way
that distance is protection,
not punishment.
That not everyone who shares your roots
deserves your fruit.
So I love from afar now,
quietly, carefully.
Because peace feels like home,
even if some of your family
never does.
good morning nostr ☀️
i looked in the mirror today
and smiled, just because
not for who i should be
but for who i already was ❤️

born at 11:09 AM on this day. Every year is another page, and today, I’m writing bold. 💛 #nostr #poemstr
These days, I don’t chase peace.
I create it.
In small moments.
In soft company.
In choosing to be gentle with myself, no matter what yesterday looked like.

Currently at work sharing a lil joy with this cutie I get to spend my day with 🐶💛
My goal today: stay present, stay patient, and find something to smile about, no matter how small.
What’s your goal today? #dogstr
July 24th, I’m hitting twenty,
A new chapter, fresh and plenty.
Life feels like a puzzle piece,
Fitting in, finding my peace.
I just started diving into Bitcoin,
Learning slowly, it’s a new coin.
A future coded, free and wide,
Something real I want to ride.
Two decades of ups and downs,
Lessons learned, smiles and frowns.
But now I’m ready, eyes wide open,
Chasing dreams, no longer broken.
Here’s to twenty raw and true,
To the paths ahead, to something new.
No map, no script, just my own way,
Taking chances every day. #poemstr

Off to work with the animals today. It’s messy, loud, and full of love exactly how I like it.
Morning Poem
Sun’s up, paws moving slow,
No words, just trust they show.
Working where the heart is loud
In furry faces, I’m proud. 🐾
Thank you! Excited to see what this space sparks Already feeling the good energy. 🙏
That hits deep. Meaning over convenience I’m here for it.
Goodnight, Nostr 🌙
Time to log off and let the stars take over.
Rest well, friends. Here’s a little poem to end the day:
Night has come, the sky is deep,
Close your eyes, drift into sleep.
Dreams await, so calm and light—
Wishing you a peaceful night. ✨
See you tomorrow 💫 #poemstr

I broke to learn how to heal.
I lost to find myself.
In the silence, I met my worth.
No more running
I am here.
I used to search for love
in the wrong places,
waiting for someone
to tell me I mattered.
But no one showed up
so I had to learn
to be enough on my own.
It wasn’t easy.
I fell apart a lot.
But bit by bit,
I put myself back together
with the kind of love
I never knew I deserved.
Now, I hold myself close,
soft and fierce all at once.
I am my own safe place,
my own kind of whole.
And that is enough.
