This is how it all started…

It all started back in 2006 when I made my grand escape from my mother’s womb… Okay, maybe we don’t need to go that far. Fast forward to the ripe age of 18, and here I am, having what feels like a midlife crisis way too early. Now that I’m legally an adult and can no longer hide behind the safety net of high school, I’m faced with some pretty big questions: Who do I want to be? What do I want to achieve? Am I even on the right path? And, most importantly, should I Doordash for the fifth time this week?

These thoughts are both overwhelming and oddly motivating. While I probably won’t find all the answers, I realized I can at least try to live fully in the moment. That’s why I decided to embrace a cringey-but-true motto: YOLO. And so, Thyme and Bloom was born—a space where I can share things that inspire me, spark joy, and create a sense of community. My hope is that as I grow and learn, you’ll join me on this journey, and together, we’ll cultivate balance and bloom into the best versions of ourselves.
