Introducing me.

I’ve been wanting to create this space for a long time. A place where I can write honestly about life as it really is — not the polished, filtered kind, but the version that’s full of contradictions. The one that can be beautiful and exhausting all at once.

I’m an aspiring writer, a mum, and a woman still finding her way through the mess and miracle of it all. I’ve known love that changed me, pain that almost broke me, and the quiet in-between where both seem to live side by side. For a long time, I didn’t have the words to hold everything I was carrying — so I learned to write them instead.

Motherhood, for me, has been both grounding and revealing. It’s shown me how strong I can be, but also how much I still need to heal. It’s brought joy so big it almost hurts, and moments so hard I’ve wanted to hide from them. Some days I get it right — other days I don’t. I’m learning that’s okay.

My story isn’t one straight line. There are parts of my past that I’m still untangling — things I’ve survived, pieces of myself I’m still learning to love again. Healing is slow and imperfect, but it’s happening. Through the chaos, I’ve found comfort in sharing the truth — the real, raw pieces that remind us we’re not alone in this human mess.

That’s what My Blog is for.

It’s not about having answers or being inspirational. It’s about being honest. It’s about saying, me too, when something aches, and look at that, when something small and beautiful happens.

You’ll find posts here about motherhood, identity, creativity, healing, and the moments that live between beauty and ache — the ones that shape us quietly, in the middle of everyday life.

I hope, when you read something here, it makes you feel seen.

Maybe it reminds you that you don’t have to carry everything perfectly.

Maybe it gives you permission to be a little softer with yourself.

We’re all just figuring it out — trying to hold what’s heavy and what’s light, all in the same hands.

So welcome to my little corner.

Grab a coffee, exhale, and stay for a while.
