Turning 30 opened a door I didn’t know I needed. It marked the beginning of a powerful season of change—a rebirth that’s allowing me to redefine who I am and who I’m becoming. This blog is my space to capture the moments that shape this decade: the challenges that stretch me, the discoveries that surprise me, the joy, the heartbreak, and the life shifts that come when you’re finding your footing in your thirties.

More than anything, I want this to be a place of connection. A place where you can read, reflect, and realize you’re not alone—that the questions, emotions, and experiences of this thirty-something era are shared, deeply human, and worth talking about

About me…

I’ve been in my thirties for two years now, and I’m genuinely loving most of it. Recently, I completed university as a mature student—one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my life. Studying law pushed me in ways I never expected, and I’m now working full-time at a law firm, building a career I’m proud of.

But beyond the courtroom language and case files, my true passion has always been writing. I’ve long dreamed of being an author, journalist, or blogger—honestly, I just want to write. Confidence, however, has a way of holding the reins, especially when it comes to creativity, and it’s something I’ve often struggled with. This blog is my step toward letting go of that fear and sharing my thoughts in a creative way—perhaps a little dramatised at times, but that’s where the magic lives.

I’m also starting this journal as a way to carve out a hobby and connect with others navigating similar paths. If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. Please reach out through the contact page, and let’s connect and share this journey together.
