I have not tolerated one ounce of disrespect since I’ve been back.
No longer holding space for people’s baggage at the expense of my own well-being. A people pleaser no more!

There was a time when I wasn’t sure if I would make it past 12. But here I am— 30!
And I have cultivated a life that 12 year old me could only dream of.
When I moved out on my own, I made myself a promise: I would pry myself from the suffocating grip of the patriarchy. I would learn how to listen inward.
I poured my energy into education, financial autonomy, traveling the world, and nourishing relationships with the women around me (and Jimmers, of course 💗).
I put myself through 6 years of school. No loans. No debt. I am the first —and only— person in my family to graduate university.
When my dad passed at 23, I refused to allow ptsd to be the most clamant wound in my head. I started taking my health, healing, and dreams seriously— severing attachments to numbing vices and convenient distractions. I stepped away from the hospitality industry and threw myself into learning everything I could about film. I’m still learning. I think he’d be proud of the way I never give up on myself.
And it’s only the prologue doll! Stronger. Clearer. More steadfast in the kind of world I want to fight for — one where Indigenous peoples have their land returned and their sovereignty respected. One where Iran, Palestine, the Congo, Sudan, and Yemen are free. Where trans people have full autonomy over their healthcare and safety. Where the Tr*mp administration is nothing but a horrific memory. I close my eyes and see how sweet it could be.
To to another decade of keeping promises!
To confidence that is intrinsic.
To gratitude that is grounded.
To quiet, unshakable certainty :)

I started taking my health, healing, and dreams seriously— severing attachments to numbing vices and convenient distractions. I stepped away from the hospitality industry and threw myself into learning everything I could about film. I’m still learning. I think he’d be proud of the way I never give up on myself.
And it’s only the prologue doll! Stronger. Clearer. More steadfast in the kind of world I want to fight for — one where Indigenous peoples have their land returned and their sovereignty respected. One where Iran, Palestine, the Congo, Sudan, and Yemen are free. Where trans people have full autonomy over their healthcare and safety. Where the Tr*mp administration is nothing but a horrific memory. I close my eyes and see how sweet it could be.
To to another decade of keeping promises!
To confidence that is intrinsic.
To gratitude that is grounded.
To quiet, unshakable certainty :)

There was a time when I wasn’t sure if I would make it past 12. But here I am— 30!
And I have cultivated a life that 12 year old me could only dream of.
When I moved out on my own, I made myself a promise: I would pry myself from the suffocating grip of the patriarchy. I would learn how to listen inward.
I poured my energy into education, financial autonomy, traveling the world, and nourishing relationships with the women around me (and Jimmers, of course 💗).
I put myself through 6 years of school. No loans. No debt. I am the first —and only— person in my family to graduate university.
When my dad passed at 23, I refused to allow ptsd to be the most clamant wound in my head.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
View profiles and photos anonymously with ease using the Private Profile Viewer.
This free tool allows you to view Instagram Stories anonymously, ensuring your activity remains hidden from the story uploader.
