A Love Letter To My Younger Self
Love

Being my 20s was rough! I was seeking out guidance and landed upon the words of my elders. I had three women (including my lovely mom) in their 40s, 50s, and 60s write a love letter to their 20 something year old self. I honestly still re-read their letters from time to time. Infinite wisdom.

God’s timing is always perfect…but that doesn’t stop me from becoming impatient. It can be difficult watching people achieve things before you and feeling like you’re behind in life. It’s hard freeing yourself from society’s “timeline” for your life. And it can feel intimidating to breakaway and do things in your own timing.

2020 was a weird year. I was somehow living my best life and my worst life at the same time. But, we can all agree that it took a lot of energy just to survive that year. I mean who had living through a pandemic on their 2020 Bingo Card? It was hard. I lost the motivation for many things. I cried. A lot.

Do you ever feel like an imposter? Like you’re playing dress up as an adult that knows what they’re doing and someone will eventually pull the mask off and discover you’re a fraud? We all do sometimes. Because *Spoiler Alert* none of us really know what we’re doing. We’re all figuring it out as we go. And everyone starts at the beginning at some point.

What’s this site even about?!

I write about my personal experiences and perspectives on a variety of topics including dating, self-love, navigating your career, wellness tips, and overall adulting. I also discuss culture experiences and share things to do for young women in Detroit/Atlanta (Basically, what’s the move?)

The Good Girl Diaries was founded in 2018 and relaunched in 2023. Most of my readers are millennial women of color that are discovering how to love themselves boldly, diving deeper into their faith + finding joy even when life gets a little bit ghetto.

This blog is a love letter to Black women and I try to share my love through uplifting content that features amazing Black women (and women of color) doing amazing things. Seriously, I love us, for real)!

I also love expressing myself creatively. If you like me written work and would like to see more, or if you just want to Joe Goldberg me, you can find me on Tik Tok and Instagram creating visual stories and vlogs!
