April Reflections:
April was a rollercoaster of a month. My grandfather has been having health issues—exactly what we need while trying to rebuild our lives after the fires. My poor grandma hasn’t had a moment of rest. The fires really traumatized her, and having the love of her life in and out of the hospital for most of the past two months hasn’t helped her spirit. Please send all the healing energy, good vibes, and prayers our way—we need them.
Life:
I’m trying to give myself more and more grace, but it’s hard. I’m doing my best to keep up with everything I have to do, and it’s overwhelming. Your girl has been depressed—truly—and I’m trying to find time to heal through it. I’m also trying to document and create through it. Being productive feels good, and I really need to lean into that. I feel my best when I’m working on something, but depression makes me lazy. UGH! I'm working through it, but please send positive vibes for my dad. He’s caring for his elderly parents, dealing with his father being in and out of the hospital, and both his house and their house burned down. 2025 has been insane, but I truly believe 2026 will be better.
Health:
I have not been on my shit. Real talk. But I can feel the motivation bubbling up inside me. This summer will be a sprint—believe that.
Food:
I am no longer addicted to Peanut M&M’s….Call Me Baby Carrot Queen NOW!!!THANK YOU, LORDT.
