✨ About the Blog — Notes to Self
Turning heartbreak into homework—and homework into healing—one brutally honest Note to Self at a time.
Welcome to Notes to Self,
A twice-weekly journey into the messy, magical middle of figuring things out—especially when you thought you already had.
This space was born in the rubble of heartbreak. The kind that doesn’t just break your heart—but cracks your sense of self. Over the last five years, I’ve found myself rebuilding, reimagining, and relearning everything I thought I knew about love, identity, self-worth, and survival.
I write these Notes selfishly—because I need them.
But maybe you do too.
💌 What You’ll Find Here
Notes to Self isn’t just a blog—it’s a mirror.
A gentle confrontation. A warm hug with side-eye. A place for you to reflect, heal, and laugh at the chaos (because honestly, what else can we do sometimes?).
Whether it's storytelling, satire, or pure stream-of-consciousness, everything here comes back to one core idea:
Healing starts with honesty—even when it’s messy.
You’ll get:
Insightful essays with a twist (yes, sometimes backed by research)
A totally different way of looking at things
Unfiltered reflections on mishaps, mistakes, and moments that still sting
Emotional accountability and grown-ass grace
👀 Who This Is For
This is for the millennials still making sense of love, identity, and hard lessons.
It’s for lovers, thinkers, feelers—people who know what it's like to bump their heads (even when they knew better), but still keep showing up.
If you're learning to forgive yourself, laugh at your patterns, or finally say out loud what hurt you—you're home.
💡 The Bigger Vision
This blog isn’t the end of the story—it’s the beginning.
Notes to Self is evolving into an animated series and a line of carefully curated products.
This is a personal healing journey, but it’s also a creative one.
So stay tuned. Read it. Watch it. Share it. And if you’re feeling bold, hop into my inbox—I’d love to know what your note to self would say.
