Blogs Are Back!

I know, I know, I know. Before you even say it, let me just say it first. I know it's been ALMOST A LITERAL YEAR since I wrote a blog (the last one I wrote was in July of last year 😭) and I am sooo sorry for that, guys. I have been off my game lately! But today I had a little spark of inspiration and thought, you know what? I'm gonna bring the blogs back, because I miss them! And I miss you guys <3

So first of all, hi, hello! Welcome back to my website. It's had a little revamp now, and I'm so excited to be back to chatting with you all again. A lot has happened since I last did my little chatty vibes here, and I figured I'd give you guys a little rundown!

For starters, Ferris Bueller wasn't kidding when he said that life moves pretty fast. I just turned 26 two weeks ago this Friday, and now it's already the middle of May? Where is the time going?! This year is absolutely zipping by.

Well, let's see....in terms of updates, the rest of 2024 consisted of some fun premieres (Agatha All Along!), working on building my other platforms like YouTube and Instagram, starting to post on Snapchat, and my roommate and I threw a very fun, very successful, Spider-Man Christmas Party! I headed home for the holidays, and then at the start of this year I flew to Chicago for a little visit with a friend. Then came back to LA and started working on some more content, and have gone to some fun events lately (pst pstttt Thunderbolts* premiere 👀). And my family just came to visit this past week, which was so lovely!

One thing I haven't really been talking about publicly is my struggle currently with my mental and physical health. It's kind of been an uphill battle since January, and I have been fighting off some sad depression vibes (missing my family and having a difficult time kind of figuring some things out in my life recently). And I also have been going to a BUNCH of doctors over the past few months, both from a standpoint of trying to figure out some symptoms I've had, and also because 26 is the big year when you get kicked off your parents health insurance 🙃 so I was trying to get some appointments done before my insurance changed and I had to find all new doctors in an all new system. It turned out that everything is okay, but I ended up getting a PCOS diagnosis, which honestly explained a lot of the symptoms that I was having. So in that sense, it was good! But for a while I was literally going to a doctors appointment or test like once or twice a week, and it honestly just took so much out of me.

But we've made it past that bump in the road, and I am feeling a lot better! I still occasionally am dealing with some mental health issues here and there, but I have found that journaling and engaging in some creative activities (crochet, coloring, journaling, painting, scrapbooking etc) has really helped me kind of get out of these weird little slumps I find myself in. And obviously, the state of the world right now has certainly been making it a little hard to stay positive, but we do what we can 🥴

All this to say, I am really grateful for all of you that have stuck around through the different eras of ME! I know a lot has changed recently with my username, my content, how frequently I have been posting, etc, and I am really grateful for all of you that have continued to stick by through all of that. You guys are the absolute best.

That being said, now that the blogs are back, what would you all most like to read about in these little chats of ours? More of my day to day life? My thoughts on fandom content? Maybe something else? Feel free to leave a little comment below, or answer my poll in my Instagram broadcast channel! I would love to hear from you guys 🫶🏻

See you all in the next blog post, and hope you all have an incredible weekend!
