Emotional. Modern. Elegant.

All the love and happiness I have in my life could make my heart burst. 2025 was filled with so many moments that I will cherish forever. I had big life changing experiences that have altered my brain chemistry, healed my inner child, and brought out the very best version of myself on such a deep level I didn't realize was possible. Some highlights were, of course, marrying my best friend, booking a wedding in Perugia, Italy and getting to visit my ancestoral homeland. Learning Italian FINALLY, being surrounded by all my friends and family in one room which hasn't happened in YEARS, my dream bachelorette filled with my favorite people, and the most thoughtful execution. Landing an opportunity to work in tv/movie entertainment, hiking the beautiful mountainscape of Colorado, reconnecting with hobbies that heal my inner child, playing more sports, not for the sake of just working out but because it's fun. And a big one, paying off all my student debt. I could go on and on. The transformation and journey that I have been on in my life has led me to a peace I didn't know I could have. Looking back when I was young and in the thick of battling my A.D.D., anxiety, and depression, I wish I could've told that troubled version of myself that you are strong and you are deeply loved. That your ego and self doubt is holding you back and sabotaging all the good. When you shed those layers and beliefs, there's beautiful transformation that happens. It's nice to reflect on how I've grown and been able to see what's really important and that the things I have are a privledge and should be treated as such. Every day I wake up is a privledge when I get to kiss my husband, call my family and tell them I love them, to be able to drink a coffee on the porch and feel the sun on my skin, to read for fun, to hike a mountain top, and have the ability to learn new things & overall just the human experience. I know this is long winded but writing has always been a creative outlet for me and I found myself feeling so overwhelmed with all these complex beautiful emotions that I thought to share.
