Knock Knock… Who’s There?

My last post here was on January 11th. I wished everyone a happy new year- and then I went quiet.
Not because I had nothing to say, but because I needed time to sit with my thoughts, live a little, and let my writing come from a more honest place. Somewhere between reflection, faith, philosophy, and everyday life, words began to form again.
I was going to send this as a newsletter, but my laptop had other plans 😭. Still, I refuse to let that stop me. Writing has always found a way to meet me where I am, and right now, this blog is where I am.
In the past few hours, I’ve written more than I expected- pieces shaped by questions I’m still asking, lessons I’m still learning, and moments that lingered longer than I thought they would. Writing them reminded me why I started sharing my thoughts in the first place: not to perform clarity, but to think out loud with intention.
This is me easing back in.
Not with noise, but with meaning.
Also, my best friend once called me Lala. Just once😡. It stuck. It’s a name that feels dear to my heart, and now you can call me that too 🥰.
Before I share what I’ve been working on, I found myself wondering about you.
How has your year been so far?
What lessons have stayed with you?
Are there goals you’re proud of meeting- or habits you’ve quietly been building?
No pressure to have perfect answers. I’m asking because this space has always been about reflection, not performance.
In the coming days, I’ll be sharing new posts—thoughts shaped by questions I’m still asking, lessons I’m still learning, and moments that have lingered longer than I expected. Some will be personal, some philosophical, some spiritual- but all of them will be honest.
If you’ve been here quietly, thank you.
If you’re just joining, welcome.
I’m writing again—and I’m glad you’re here to read.
And if you feel like replying, I’d genuinely love to hear from you.
I missed you
Awwwn my baby, this is so beautifully written I love how honest and intentional your words feel it’s just like I can hear you thinking out loud, and it’s comforting. I’m glad you’re easing back into writing, and I can’t wait to read all the new pieces you’ve been writing. As for me, this year has been a mix of lessons and small wins, but reading your words reminds me to pause, and appreciate the journey. Thank you for sharing this baby’m
My year had been me trying to find my footing, i dont think i have found it perfectly yet, but i am more stable than i started.
The lesson that i think has stayed with me peace seeked externally, maybe in forms of validation, wealth, anything externally really is fragile; peace that says longer should be internal
They are goals i am proud of meeting, and a habit i have been trying to build is a proper reading culture
I love how you described writing as “thinking out loud with intention.” That alone captures why this space matters,My year has been quiet in some ways and stretching in others. I’m learning patience,especially with myself and building habits that don’t look loud but feel grounding. Your questions made me stop and actually reflect, and that’s a gift in itself. Thanks for writing again. We missed you Lala!
