I’ve lived a thousand lives within this one.

Born in 1983,

Each year, each breath, a new chapter woven in light and shadow. The early me was a fire—relentless, driven, eyes set on distant stars, chasing dreams with certainty they would one day be mine ✨🌟.
I built worlds with words and colors, carving my mark in the realm of marketing and design 🎨💻. Degrees earned, ambitions met, and with every success, I felt the rhythm of my heartbeat—steady, unwavering. Yet, somewhere, in the quiet spaces between achievements, I met a storm 🌧️.
A storm that whispered lies, that tore at the fabric of who I was. A love that shattered into control, a voice that quieted mine. I became a stranger to myself, a ghost in my own skin. The spark I once held was nothing more than a flicker; the work I loved would never be mine again. He erased me, piece by piece, until I no longer recognized the woman staring back in the mirror 💔.
But even in the darkest night, the stars never stop burning. Even in the darkest rooms, there is always a crack where light finds its way through 🌙. Slowly, I began to remember. Like the earth reawakens after winter 🌱. I remembered the fire, the dreams, the woman who could shape worlds and paint her own future 🎨🔥.
And now, here I stand, reborn in the ashes of all that came before. The woman who walks this earth is made of strength woven from every wound, every scar. She is not broken. She is being remade, piece by piece, into someone more magnificent than she ever knew she could be 🌈💪.
To anyone who feels lost in the dark—remember: you are not erased. You are still becoming. Still unfolding. Still rising 🦋.
The story is not over. It’s just beginning. ✨
