How do they see me? A Woman? A Mother?

A reflection on time, labor, and the quiet inequities at home.
This piece unpacks the unseen weight of being the one who holds everything together — even when both partners are home. Through the lens of laundry, bedtime routines, and stolen moments of rest, I explore how easily “help” becomes assumption, and how free time often belongs to one person more than the other. For anyone who has ever felt like they’re doing too much simply because they’re “better” at it, this is a reminder: being good at something doesn’t mean you should have to carry it alone.

Will I Ever Feel Whole?

A reflection on identity, belonging, and the ache of in-betweenness.
In this deeply personal piece, I unpack the silent weight of trying to build a life in a place that may never feel like home. From cultural dissonance to quiet resilience, this post is for anyone who’s ever felt like too much and not enough, all at once.
We may never fully arrive—but we’re still becoming.
