Kia Ora tātou,

Long time no posting. Mahi has been really busy. I have so many ideas in my head I need to get out! But, for now looking for somewhere to do print on demand for merch items (hoodies, caps and t shirts) I would love to get quotes from any of my followers in this space to see if we can figure something out!

Prefer to support another small business if costs allow. Love to hear from you.

Email [email protected] or send me a link to your page.

Kia pai te pō 😘

I felt this in my soul & I know many others that are on here feel this too. 🥺

I know this isn’t my usual post, but I’m angry.
I’m so f*ckin angry.

In a world with Ubers, taxis, sober drivers, and couches to crash on,
people are still getting behind the wheel drunk.
Still risking lives that don’t belong to them.
Still acting like it’s no big deal… Until it is.

I’m blessed as hell that someone I love is still be here today,
but don’t get it twisted, I’m raging.
Because someone else might not be so lucky.

Just now I seen a video of some idiot near Waitara up on the guardrail, this was only hours after another two crashes between Ngāmotu and Waitara last night. SERIOUSLY.

If this post makes you uncomfortable, good.
Sit with it.
Because if you’re still drinking and driving in this day and age,
you’re part of the f*cking problem.

Sometimes the breakdown is the blessing.
Sometimes it all has to fall to f*cking pieces before you finally see what was never built for you in the first place.

I’m not here to glue myself back together just to fit in the same damn mold.
I’m rebuilding, but this time, I’m doing it in my own shape, my own timing, and on my own damn terms.

Let it burn.
I’m rising different.

Some seasons are messy.
For me, this is one of those seasons.
Some mornings start with self-doubt instead of sunshine.
Some days I’m proud of myself just for getting out of bed.

And that’s okay.
Healing isn’t always graceful, sometimes it’s crying in the car, or starting over again on a Tuesday.
But even then, even when I feel like I’m standing still, I’m still becoming.

Be gentle with yourself.
Growth doesn’t always look like forward motion,
sometimes it looks like standing still long enough to find your breath again.

You don’t have to bloom loudly to be valid.
You’re doing better than you think 🌿
