this hurts.
it doesn’t always look like what you think it is.
and most of it, you’ll never see.
i want to take a moment to be real...
this wasn’t the plan.
i thought i’d be further along by now. moving faster. doing more. not waking up and checking in with my body before i even get out of bed. but this is where i am—and if you’re here, i have a feeling you understand that space too. i've come to look at all the various setbacks and failures as an opportunity to learn and more importantly humble myself. and see this as my chance to keep going.

Goal: $52K
I’m raising support to help cover medical treatment and everyday living expenses over the next 4–5 months while navigating chronic illness and a difficult healthcare system.
More than anything, I’m trying to create a little stability. A little breathing room. Enough time to focus on treatment, recovery, and continuing to build my work without constantly living in survival mode.
Asking for help is not easy for me. But neither is pretending I can carry all of this alone.
If you’re able to donate, share, or support in any way, thank you deeply. It truly means more than I can say.
Progress matters. Thank you for being part of it.

You start moving differently.
we don’t overpromise anymore. we don’t force a yes just to feel normal. we don’t pretend capacity is unlimited. we check in. we adjust. we change the plan without turning it into a failure. some days that looks like doing less. some days it looks like starting over at 2pm. either way…we’re still in it.
this isn’t about fixing anything.
it’s about having something to wear
on the days you don’t have the words.
something that says it for you.
something that meets you where you actually are.
not where you’re supposed to be.
you’re not behind.
you’re working with a different set of rules.
and the fact that you’re still here—
still trying, still thinking, still building something out of this—
that counts.
more than anyone probably told you.
