Not Everyone’s Cup of Tea

Not Everyone’s Cup of Tea

Sometimes I feel uncomfortable writing here.

Not because I don’t enjoy it….but because putting real pieces of myself online means giving people space to judge, assume, and misunderstand. And that part still messes with me.

I know people read things through their own lens. I know not everyone will like my tone, my choices, or the way I move through motherhood and life. And for a long time, I tried to soften that. To make myself more palatable…. Easier to digest if you will.

But this year I’m changing that.

I’ve noticed a big increase in people finding this space. More views. More quiet proof that someone is connecting. And instead of making me want to edit myself more, it’s done the opposite….it’s made me want to be ME!

Truthfully, I have a huge heart. I care deeply. I show up hard for the people I love.
And I also know I can give off total bitch vibes….which by the way, my husband loves!

I’m not overly sugary. I’m more reserved than people expect, and I don’t always say everything I’m thinking but that doesn’t make me less honest or less kind. Both things can exist… Soft heart, sharp edges.

I’m realizing I don’t need to be liked by everyone to be doing something right. If this space resonates with you, I’m glad you’re here. And if it doesn’t… F U…(just kidding). I’m not for everyone and I’m definitely ok with that.

This blog was never meant to be curated perfection. It’s everyday life, motherhood, food, growth, and memories as they happen. It’s honest. It’s evolving. It’s me.

So I’m going to keep writing. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Even when I know someone, somewhere, might have an opinion. I’m learning to care less about being judged and more about doing what I enjoy. I’m actually cool AF and I look forward to posting more!
