Finally 30

 

I turned 30!

Birthday!

Well, since we last chatted, I celebrated my 30th birthday with some of my closest friends and it was a true fiesta for the ages. My awesome fiancé booked an all female mariachi group, my friends and family flew from across the country, and my nephew so generously let us use his home for the party! It was insane and lovely and so much goodness.

The crazy thing is, literally the day after I turned 30, my whole body ACHED. And every day since. Is this what 30 is? PAIN? Either way, I'm very happy and blessed to be hitting this age with people I love and adore. 

The whole family and friends

Also since then, Valentine's Day came around! This was my first year celebrating as an engaged woman, which feels so weird to say still, and instead of going all out, we decided to chill out after the crazy few weeks leading up to my birthday. (plus, gifts in this economy....yikes).

Jon and I celebrated by having some coffee courtesy of a gift card from my mom, eating our favorite takeout, and watching Valentine episodes of Bob's Burgers together with Leo. But I did still have to dress for the occasion.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well and I will see you at the next post. :) 

Love always,

Back to MY Bubble

 

Hi friends.

With the state of the world the way it is, I really have been dealing with this inner turmoil. Social media has been so great in connecting us with friends and family alike, creating bonds across cities, countries, and more. And I am forever grateful for that.

However, I can't just sit idly by and pretend everything is fine. My existence is political. Reading, music, entertainment...it's political. 

So, I'm off. I'm off Facebook and Twitter and Threads and TikTok and Instagram. As of right now, my instagram is still available for resources but I've deleted the app. 

It's not much. In the grand scheme of things, it's the least I can do. But I refuse to sit on a website for "fun" that is owned by people who willingly take our country by money. Who stand beside those who do nazi salutes. Who see and invoke hatred, injustice, and ignorancs.

I can't. 

So I'm here. And I'll be sharing my life here instead. 

🧡 Love always,
