HOW IT STARTED : MY STORY

Hey. I’m Christina.

I’m a writer, rock and roll enthusiast, and a Enneagram 2w1 with a Scorpio sun sign. Essentially that means that I love the people in my life very fiercely. I’m a monastery dropout with a deep love for exploring spirituality. 

Over the past two years, I’ve completely changed my life but it wasn’t until my worst case scenario happened that my life fully opened up. After losing my husband to suicide in 2017, I thought my life would be a series of “just surviving” moments. But, unexpectedly, the tragedy propelled me into a space of determination I never thought possible. 

I gave myself 3 rules for the next 365 days. 

1. I would go to therapy.

2. I would not cut my bangs.

3. I would attend 2 shows a month to get me out of the house.

Over the next year, I turned into a person who knew how to sit with herself, found my inner voice, and dealt with the lifetime of trauma that I thought might hold me back forever. 

I feel like I’ve been given a second chance at life and I am using this space to encourage others who are going through seemingly impossible situations and remind them to never give up. I use this space to write about mental health, persistence, and self-love. I believe the best thing we can do for ourselves is not give up on ourselves. I’ve learned unconditional love starts from within.

On any given day, you can find me obsessing over home decor or planning elaborate gestures for my friends. I recently moved from Charlotte to Atlanta for a fresh start with my Boston Terrier David Bowie. We are on the hunt for the best tacos in the city.
