Living Life Without the Edits

This journal would never have happened if it weren't for my therapist Jenna encouraging me, so thank you.

So here I am—starting it.

Whether good or bad, perfect or not, I'm starting because there is no perfect time. There is no getting better without just starting, starting bad.

This space is called Living Life Without the Edits because I’m tired of pretending life is always put together. It’s not. Some days are good, some are heavy, and some feel confusing for no clear reason. I don’t want to edit out the messy parts just to make things look better than they are.

This journal is a place for honesty.
Not the “everything worked out” version.
Just real life, as it’s happening.

This blog is to know that you are not alone.

I don’t have everything figured out—and I don’t think we’re supposed to. I’m learning as I go, making mistakes, growing, unlearning, and sometimes standing still. And I know I’m not the only one who feels that way.

Here, I’ll be sharing thoughts, stories, lessons, and moments that feel real. Some posts might be short. Some might be emotional. Some might just be me talking through life the way it actually feels—unedited.

If you’re reading this and you’re also figuring things out, you’re welcome here. If you feel behind, unsure, or like you don’t fit the “perfect life” mold, you’re not alone.

This is just the beginning.
No edits. No pretending. Just real life.

Thanks for being here 🤍
