sorry i ghosted 🤍
somewhere between a very full wedding season, wanting everything i put my name to feel right, and convincing myself i’d slow down after “just one more thing”… the next bride, the next booking, the next deadline… i eventually learned the fairly predictable lesson of what happens when perfectionism meets absolutely no off switch. a little health scare soon after made the pause non-negotiable.
i burnt out. so i went quiet. not from the work, but from the noise around it. socials, posting, replying, documenting, even being social started asking for more energy than i had to give.
the brides still got me. the henna still got my best. everything else had to wait.
and somewhere between working, recovering, pausing and just existing a little more privately, i realised i didn’t actually miss being visible. i missed creating when it felt good to create.
i’m slowly learning that life doesn’t have to be done at 100% or abandoned completely. that something can still be good without being perfect, and that slowing down before i’m forced to makes a lot more sense than my previous strategy of running myself into the ground 🫠
to every bride who trusted me, every client who gave me grace, everyone who stepped in when i needed it, and every person who quietly checked on me, thank you. genuinely.
and to anyone still waiting for the content i promised, i’m sorry. it’s all there, buried somewhere beneath an almost offensive amount of gorgeous camera roll sludge 🥹 it’ll find its way out, slowly and properly.
anyway. still working. still creating. just learning that there can be quite a lot of life between all and nothing ♥️
