This story begins with another one ending.

Years ago, I started capturing my thoughts and projects on a little blog and a little Instagram account. I wanted to remember a lot of special things about my life and the life I hoped to build.

The truth is? My dreams got shakier and farther away all the time for many years. And I cried a lot of tears and felt a lot of loneliness and it didn’t feel good to share anymore.

And then, one day, by the grace of God, I was forced to lay down the hopes I held dear. And instead of being left empty, God gave me space to grow and welcome a lot of new.

This little corner of the internet will be for me to record all the joy that was restored. The little hopes I’m daring to plant again as I heal. And it will mostly be for me, but I hope a few loved ones will treasure the thoughts someday, too.
