A Very Carrie Friday Night

Another Friday night after a long week and here I sit, starting to behave like some Carrie Bradshaw typing out my latest thoughts. Not a bad thing, I loved her vulnerability and certain "je ne sais quoi".

We are now halfway through March of 2026. Almost three months complete of this year. As I reflect on my year so far, I would say I'm very pleased. I've been working hard, pushing myself WAY outside of my comfort zone, meeting new people, learning how the hell to become a stylist, and trying to get sleep in between it all.

I am in love with all of the decisions I have been making thus far. That's really all I want moving forward. To be undoubtedly, wholeheartedly, in love with the way I choose to live my life. Because how I move through the world, is most certainly and always will be a CHOICE.

And though I have been keeping myself very busy, that's not to say another Friday night eating some special take out food and watching whatever my latest show obsession is doesn't feel especially ~solo~.

I've been ~especially solo~ for quite some time now. And if you aren't picking up what I'm putting down in saying "especially solo", it means I'm single. So dead single. The most single I've been.

Listen, I'm not complaining though. I enjoy these peaceful nights as opposed to tossing & turning with anxiety over some boy. And if any of my past boys are reading this.... idk, think what you want, I'm in my era of being bold and saying whatever the hell I want. Some of you caused me insane amounts of anxiety. Others, I still and will always have love for. (Ok tea!)

I was driving home from a shoot today, passing old neighborhoods I haven't been in awhile. I've lived in LA for 6 years now and I have recently been finding myself getting flashes of what it felt like when I first moved here.

I am a completely different person from that girl, but I do remember how much magic she felt in those first couple of years. I feel like I'm starting to finally get glimpses of that magic again. It's been a really long time since I've felt that way.

And maybe that's why I'm feeling nostalgic tonight. I just finished my 7th shoot in the past 3 weeks and though I am incredibly tired and yearning for a foot massage, I'm happy to feel like I'm on the brink of the magic. Maybe somewhere in between it all, I'll find someone to share my takeout & tv show Friday nights with too.
