I began sharing my world here nearly ten years a quiet corner to pour my thoughts, to find kinship, to show the beauty I see even in life’s messier moments. But lately, the weight of the world has made it harder to speak. As someone who feels everything deeply, my spirit has been sitting with grief, confusion, and ache. Still, today I’m posting this photo—these heels, bold and unbothered— because sometimes beauty is defiance. And may every ounce of evil, injustice, and shadow find itself beneath us— trampled, not tolerated. We keep walking. We keep rising. Even when the ground trembles.
