New Chapters

Life after the plot twist
A personal essay series about rebuilding, reflecting, and writing what comes next.

💭 What It’s About

When my life fell apart, I thought the story was over. But I’ve realized it was just the end of a chapter — not the end of the book. New Chapters is where I write my way forward, one post at a time, through grief, motherhood, rebuilding, and the quiet work of figuring out what comes next.

🗂️ The Chapters So Far

🖊️ Chapter One ◦ The Break

The rupture, the narrowing, and the long middle after everything shifted.

1. Plot Twist

The moment the story shifted. The chapter I never saw coming.

2. In the Margins

What happens when a life gets pushed to the edges and starts to shrink.

3. Where the Stories Lived

The house, the echoes, and the chapter that stayed behind.

4. Between the Chapters

The meantime. Not moving forward yet, but not done either.

5. Not the End of My Story

Realizing the ending wasn’t the end after all.

✨ Chapter Two ◦ The Rebuild

Restoring the pages, writing again, and rebuilding a life in small, steady ways.

1. Begin Again

The quiet bravery of beginning again in small, steady ways.

2. Restoring the Archives

Piecing a life back together, one recovered page at a time.

3. The Story I Didn’t Delete

Keeping the parts I once tried to erase. Proof that even the hardest chapters are still mine.

4. The Prologue

Quiet, behind-the-scenes rebuilding before the story really begins again.

5. Rough Draft

Relearning how to write — and live — when everything feels unfinished.

6. Published

Sharing the story before it’s perfect. Stepping into it out loud.

🌿 Chapter Three ◦ The Return

Coming back to myself. Reclaiming steadiness, curiosity, and forward motion.

1. Return to Self

Finding my way back through running and writing.

Coming Soon

2. Not the Same, Not Yet

Living in the middle of change. Steady, but not settled.
