She comes first ✨✨✨
.

It’s taken me a long time to not only learn this principle but understand it. Even longer to embrace it. Growing up as the overachieving first born who was placed in the role of caretaker, counsler/ therapist, and provider, I was forced to grow up far too young and hold weight that young shoulders should never have to carry. My entire identity was rooted in: everything except me is a priority and my needs can be sorted out last.
The end of 2024 forced me to have to re-evaluate not only how I show up in relationships but who I was granting space and access to me.
To say it’s been revelatory is an understatement and while I can’t claim that I have it all neatly implemented as of yet, what I can say is I am taking the necessary nascent steps forward, putting the work of discernment into practice.
Choosing self above others isn’t selfish—not in the world we live in today where the majority of others already operate from this lens (to an unhealthy degree).
But I can’t pour into others if my cup is empty and if I am not consciously choosing people who are equally giving — who match the level of effort, support and consistency that I inherently and selflessly provide, then I am prescribing to the inevitable outcome of always being neglected and abandoned.
So things are going to shift. Access is going to change and my energy and time (the most precious recourses we possess) is going to be ruthlessly safeguarded for my very small circle of the chosen few. If you’re not adding value or capable of matching capacity (at the level you’re expecting from me to uphold) then you can’t and won’t have a seat at the table.
Because going forward, if I want to be the best version of myself—for me as well as the ones I love most—I must come first.
In all the ways that matters 😌✨✨✨

At 11 years old, writing entered my life like a tsunami that, in a single crashing wave, swept away everything I thought I knew about myself and unearthed something new. A whisper that grew into an awakening. I’ll never forget the instant the voices emerged inside me. It was probably the closest I’ll ever know to experiencing true magic—like a witch coming into her powers.
One voice winked to life. The smallest spark in the black cavern of my mind. Then it grew into two, then twenty. And before long my head was clamouring with nothing but noise as story after story was begging—no, screaming to be told.
My fingers couldn’t fly across the keys fast enough as I delved into vivid worlds and embarked on daring quests. I lived in those pages. Loved. Yearned. Lost and wept.
I say all this because you need to understand how deep to the core writing was for me. Every word wrenched from my lungs, etched from my bones, soaked in my blood.
I didn’t just write—I channeled.
Then at the end of 2024, everything changed. Pain, no … soul destroying grief silenced everything inside of me. I was walled behind heartbreak. Lost to it. I could feel nothing. Hear nothing.
VOTS was the first time I ever thought a story would never get told. How could I write if I can’t feel? Or hear when the only sound echoing inside me was sorrow?
But I was under contract. And failure was not an option. Not unless I wanted to abandon my dreams but the last vital piece of me that held what little remained together. I had to find a way to draw blood from an empty vein, pull breath out of collapsed lungs. Every word was a struggle, every chapter a war I didn’t know if I would win.
I wasn’t just writing. I was rebelling against the overwhelming urge to lay down and never get back up.
My suffering became the foothold for Nimah’s journey; together she and I walked hand in hand through the chasm of our grief, confronting our ghosts along the way. Her path to survival helped me find the strength to ensure my own.
This book is more than a culmination of my hopes and dreams, she is a physical testament of my healing. She is my triumph.
And I couldn’t be more proud✨✨✨

You know what day it is — hump day, dump day! Adeline is back with some of her faves.

Are we even surprised to see Abby Jimenez on this list? Say You’ll Remember Me really did a number. The Silent Patient — if you haven’t picked this one up, I fully recommend it as your next read. And of course, Happy Place by Emily Henry is just such a perfect read.

Do you share any of these faves? Or have a must-read you think Adeline would love? Drop your recs in the comments — we’re always looking to add to our TBR! ⬇️📝

I'm blaming the internet for introducing me to @bookoutlet.

As someone who's had massive e-book libraries for years, switching to physical books to reduce screen time meant I needed to find budget-friendly book options - and @bookoutlet delivered.

I am very excited to crack open the new book by @fallondemornay. It’s a sci-fi book about a space cadet who must gather a motley crew to save her space pirate granny. Think Golden Girls meets Firefly. I can’t wait to read this 🫶🫶
