POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

turns 2 ⭐️🌷🧺🕯️🌞🐓🌾🍰🍓💌

there are no words equivalent to describe my love and gratitude for you, this community, this account, the friends, and the memories i've made along the way. the book i've got the chance to read. the authors i've met. the people i've got to meet. the opportunities i've worked so hard for. the joy and love and light that surrounds me every time i open this app.
never in my life did i think i'd end up where i am now. this is my safe space & i'm honored to walk beside you in this wonderful life. not to be dramatic but you've changed my world, my life. i will forever be thankful you exist. i love you more than life itself.

just for this once, i will let the slides do all the talking for me.
i have been overly emotional about this date for the entire week and i am, in fact, an absolute wreck today. i hope you'll enjoy this little walk down memory lane. thank you for staying with me through it all. may 22, 2023, you will always be famous. 💓

cheers to so many more years together.
yours, forevermore
xxxxx nia 💌

digital love letters (part 2) 🏹💞🌸💌

my lovies... i don't even know where to start. i can't believe this is going to be the second part of my love letters series, dedicated to you. i'm so thankful for all of you. for all that you give - the unyielding support, the overwhelming amount of love, the kind words, the sweet gestures, the caring messages and comments. the amount of love and sense of belonging this community brings me is out of this world, probably out of this universe if i dare say so. every comment, every message, every reaction is so appreciated and i love you all beyond the limits of my heart. i feel like my heart is living outside of my body alongside this community, alongside each and every one of you. you are creative, fierce, kind-hearted and soft-spirited, badass humans that fill my every day life with joy that makes my soul sing. what an HONOR to be surrounded by you. your light shines so bright that i'm sure velaris would be jealous. your character and spirits outshine everything i ever encountered and i don't know how i got so lucky to be on this journey with you. this community, you all, are my found family come to life. my court of dreamers. the suriel's vision come to life. you all deserve only the best that this world and this life has to offer and i am so proud of you.

i hope you always know that you are so fiercely loved by me, no matter where you go. i hope you know that i am proud of you for keeping your head up and moving forward when life has tried to knock you down. i hope you know how strong you are for feeding the light within you whenever things get rough. i am so proud of you for getting up today. i hope you know that you're never alone in anything that you're going through - may that be good or bad. i see you, i hear you, i love you. my soft heart still hasn't processed all that has happened in the span of the last two weeks. every time i try to reply to a comment, i get all teary-eyed due to the overwhelming amount of love and gratitude i feel for you.

i love you in this life and any other that may follow.
god knew my heart needed you.
thank you for being here. 🏹🌸💞💘

coffee & (not) currently reading (because I finished this last month but I just met up with my gal pals to chat about it!!!) ✨

feat. a tiramisu latte, strawberry croissant, & a dubai pistachio chocolate bar inspired croissant 😋

the most wonderful crime of the year was a quick and hilarious Christmas-y thriller/mystery/romance/whodunit? 🎄🕵🏽‍♀️❣️ I read most of it in one sitting! the short chapters kept me engaged, and the author did a great job of making everyone seem suspicious but also not at the same time?? I didn’t see the ending coming! it also had some great flashbacks that gave more depth and insight into the two main characters 🫶🏼

4⭐️!!

if you are the type of lawless person to read a holiday read after december, I would definitely pick this one up!! otherwise, make sure it’s on your tbr for next christmas 🎅🏽🎁📚

next up my little club is reading p.s. I hate you 💌 I’ve heard nothing but amazing things, so I’m excited!! 💕

what are you currently reading?! 📖🌟🌨️🌲

a love letter
to all the amazing women in my life
who have taught me everything i know
about girlhood, sisterhood, friendship
and platonic soulmates.
no words could ever compare
to the love i truly hold for you
within my heart and soul.
this is for you.
🎀🫀💌🌷✨💓
