Late post from February:

I decided to take a solo trip to Seattle, WA.

There were many great sights, great food, and great people. I even got to witness the Superbowl parade by chance. I was fortunate to be out here when the weather was beautiful. A lot of things to be grateful for. Taking this trip was a little hard at first because I had never traveled alone before. But I did it. However, spending the time to myself has taught me things and allowed me time to reflect. That sitting at a restaurant by yourself at a table, is very intimate. That trying new places to experience create very special memories that are solely yours. That the silence while progressing to new destinations allow us to live in the present and to take in everything around us. That meeting new people from different places, allow for new conversations, lessons, and connections. This trip taught me a lot about self-love. Shich is ironic that today is Valentines Day. Love is around us and within each other, but it is also within ourselves. This V-Day will be forever special, as it is the first time that I celebrate it, in love with me.

Happy Valentines Day ♥️

Hey everyone, Dan here. As 2025 comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on what this year taught me. I’ve always been fascinated by how the mind grows and learns through lived experience and this year gave me plenty of that.

There were great moments, good moments, okay moments, and some really hard ones. But every experience shaped who I am now.

One thing I value more than ever is connection. Having people to share life with, to learn, grow, and experience things alongside—is something truly special. At the same time, I’ve learned how important it is to still make space for yourself.

Another powerful lesson was learning how to let go and accept what is. There are things we simply can’t control like other people’s actions or their feelings. Some people are meant to be part of certain chapters, not the whole book. And that’s okay. Gratitude matters more than resentment.

This year also reminded me that life often becomes what we believe it to be. Growth lives in discomfort. Progress comes from staying committed to becoming better, while still appreciating what you have right now.

2025 had hands but I’m never out.
Here’s to more lessons, growth, and experiences ahead.

Happy holidays 🎄

I want to take a second and reflect on the first class that I took as a MA student. I learned that there are so many unique ways to go about the therapeutic process and that each person is unique in their own way. There is no one size fit all approach when it comes to therapy and sometimes there are different methods and approaches to help someone.

Emotions are powerful — but they don’t have to control you. The moment you notice what you’re feeling, you take the first step toward taking back your power. Sometimes all it takes is awareness and sometimes, it’s a new perspective from someone you trust. 🧠💭
Think about it.
