Real Over Loud
What bores you? In a world that celebrates loudness and constant performance, I have learned something simple but powerful — I know what bores me. I don’t enjoy people with whom I cannot vibe.

If there were a biography about you, what would the title be? Bubble-Wrapped & Bewildered: Memoirs of a Fragile Mermaid. Meaning: Bubble-Wrapped & Bewildered: Memoirs of a Fragile Mermaid” perfectly sums up me—delicate, overthinking, and a little bewildered by the world. “Bubble-wrapped” because I’ve always been emotionally sensitive and treated with extra care, and “bewildered” …

Months later, you often need another procedure just to fix the first one. Fillers age you instead of enhancing you—women in their …
Aba ❤️
Aba, you loved me deeply. So deeply that my expectations of life grew—not out of entitlement, but belief. Belief that I mattered. That I could take up space. That love could be steady. Your love was never indulgent. Alongside warmth, there was guidance. You corrected me when I needed humility, grounded me when pride crept …
