“There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly: sometimes it’s like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges.”
ERNEST HEMINGWAY
I always admired those who could unapologetically share their hearts with the world through the written word, and I used to think I had the makings of a gift to do the same. Until I felt like I didn’t. Until fear was crippling and self-doubt reared it’s ugly head. Until I formed a narrative in my mind that my livelihood, future, and financial stability would be tarnished, broken, and dictated by anyone who judged my written word too harshly.
This website is an effort to actively refute that narrative and re-write a truth aligned with my vision for my best self. I’ve included some content “From the Archives” before my mind became my worst enemy, and I’m excited to use this blog as an experiment to see how my tone has evolved since then, and to practice a craft that once brought me so much joy and fed my creativity.
I’m not here to receive criticism, so if you have that (even if it’s in the form of “feedback”) kindly keep it to yourself.
Cheers,
Mir

Consistency is Key
Consistency is Key Well, that's what they say in all the self-help books and all the health and wellness content. At some point it starts to feel cliche and especially when you're struggling... annoying and frustrating. Consistency creates routine. Routine
