living alone diaries: for the girl tired of 'falling off' through self-sabotage of overcommitting

hi. like i said, no excuses for going ghost. just needed a season to check my sh*t at the door to prepare for the best year of my life. i learned that self-sabotage doesn't just look like procrastinating, but also perfectionism. through constantly saying yes and overcommitting your energy to everyone else but you. by forgetting to fill your own well first.

i needed this time. and well, also time to figure out how to get out of this brownstone with the worst maintenance issues ever. baby, i am not a home owner, and if nothing else, this brownstone for sure showed me that i was not ready for all that it comes with.

so, hi again. here's a bit of where i've been the past 4 months of my life. i've missed you truly, but i've missed me MORE. ♥️

(make sure you watch in 4k, the quality is top tier 🤩)
