For a long time, I tried to hide parts of myself or squeeze into boxes. Especially when it came time to committing to a career-- and in my case my brand. The issue came into play when I realized how I'm always exploring, questioning, and wandering. My brain is constantly spinning with new creative ideas or plotting on how I can save the world. Most days you’ll find me lost in deep thought — usually with coffee in hand or humming the theme to Super Mario or Jurassic Park. Being this way has taken me through plenty of ups and downs (just the volatile nature of having AuDHD), but it’s also shaped me into someone who’s always learning, self-reflecting, and connecting.

A neurodivergent, kinda funny, writer of sorts.

I started this blog for me. Most of my blogs in the past have been laser-focused on helping others in specific industries. That meant hours upon hours making everything polished, helpful, and cohesive. But it left no room for tangents, little inklings, or the random thoughts that actually make me, me.


I’m neurodivergent AF. I have AuDHD, PTSD, and anxiety (and a plethora of other letters). My thought patterns are rarely linear. And no matter what the raggedy people say (“isn’t ADHD fake?” ,"You don't look like you have that" blah blah blah 🙄), it’s science, chiki baby. This has nothing to do about how I present, my brain is just wired differently, therefore it simply does what it does.

The way I think of it like a spiderweb (goth points, f*ck yeah 🕷️). Up close, it looks chaotic but step back, and you see a beautifully intricate, meticulous, and delicate portrait.


Anyways… what was I talking about again? Oh right, the blog.

While I'm still figuring it out, and most likely figure it out to the end of time, this is my personal blog. My history in the making. I'm thinking this is how I will structure my blog (but no pinky promises, because tangents!):


  • My Thoughts | rants, ramblings, musings

  • My Art | Soltera Creative projects

  • My Music | The Anxious Musician & Melody Mart

  • My Food Adventures  | Revoltijos -- Recipes or notes on how somethings really didn't work out lol and of course any foodie adventures

  • My Coffee | Brewja, Coffee Heathen behavior

  • …and probably some other surprises I’m forgetting.

I'm so excited to start this chapter of my life. This is where I let my brain wander. You can tag along for the ride, of course but, I’m not sure where we'll end up. But what I do know is that I hope you will enjoy my little piece of happiness :)
