June Edit

✨ The June Edit

Hey, it’s KK, 

June felt like one of those months that moved both fast and slow. Some days felt like forever, others flew by in a blink. But in the midst of it all, I found small joys, made tiny shifts, and collected little moments I don’t want to forget. So here’s a wrap-up of what I’ve been loving, learning, and living lately.

🌞 What I’ve Been Up To

  • Started a new chapter: I officially launched my blog (!!) and started sharing more of my writing with the world. It's been exciting, nerve-wracking, and honestly kind of healing.

  • New routines: I’ve been slowly building some better rhythms — slower mornings, more journaling, and fewer rushed nights. Progress, not perfection.

  • First job shifts: Adjusting to new work routines and trying to balance real life and real rest — still figuring it out, but we’re getting there. :)


🎧 What I’ve Been Listening To

  • “Begin Again” – Taylor Swift (because honestly, it always hits this time of year)

  • “Ceilings” – Lizzy McAlpine

  • Anything indie folk that sounds like a warm hug or a quiet drive home. 

  • (Check out my most recent playlist on Spotify inspired by this past month.)


🎧 What I’ve Been Watching Lately

  • "Advice with Erin" - you can find her on youtube. She is a career and finance wiz! Seriously, for me, she has been the big sister, finance girly that I've learned so much from!


📚 What I’ve Been Reading

  • Still working through "The Book Thief" — slow reading is still reading!

  • A lot of blog posts by other 20-somethings — it’s comforting to know we’re all kind of wandering through this together.


☕ What’s Been Filling My Cup

  • Deep convos with friends over coffee

  • Walks at golden hour

  • Saying “no” to what drains me (even when it’s awkward)

  • Little prayers in quiet places


💭 What I’ve Been Learning

  • That I don’t have to be 100% productive to be worthy

  • That “figuring it out” isn’t a one-time event — it’s a rhythm

  • That choosing peace over performance is always worth it



🌼 Closing Thoughts

June reminded me that life doesn’t always need to be loud to be meaningful. Some months are made for planting, not harvesting. For slowly showing up, quietly becoming, and gently building the life you want — one honest day at a time.

If you made it to the end, thank you for being here. I hope your June held softness and strength. And if it didn’t — July is almost here, and fresh starts are free.

Til next time,
KK

A Letter To My 20s (So Far…)

Image
Honest reflections and life lessons from my twenties — a heartfelt letter about growth, faith, and the messy journey of becoming.  Hey, it’s KK here, If someone had told me what my twenties would look like, I’m not sure I would’ve believed them. Full of twists, turns, unexpected growth, and more than a few “what am I even doing?” moments. I’m writing this letter as a little snapshot — a pause to reflect on the ride so far, with all its messiness and magic. Because if you’re anything like me, you know the twenties are as confusing as they are exciting. ---      Lesson #1: It’s okay not to have it all figured out There’s a lot of pressure to have your life planned out by now — career, relationships, where you’ll live… But honestly? I’m still figuring it out, and that’s okay. Life is not a straight line, and every detour has taught me something valuable. *not my image (found on Pinterest)      Lesson #2: Small moments matter It’s not always the big events...

My Dream Coffee Date List: 10 Celebrities I’d Love to Chat With

☕ My Dream Coffee Date List: 10 Celebrities I’d Love to Chat With Hey, it’s KK, Let’s pretend, just for a moment, that I could text anyone famous and say, “Hey, wanna grab a latte?” No red carpet, no paparazzi — just two people, one cozy café, and all the time in the world. This post isn’t about who’s the most famous or successful. It’s about the people I’d genuinely want to talk to — over iced coffee, tea, or maybe something sweet and seasonal (shoutout to brown sugar shaken espressos). So here it is: my dream coffee date list. Ten people I’d love to sit across from and just... talk. #1 Tom Hiddleston With lattes in hand, we’d get right into Shakespeare, discussing our favorite sonnets and scenes. I’d ask him how he discovered acting was his calling, what keeps him passionate about storytelling, and if he ever journals. He seems like someone who journals. #2 Johnny Depp We’d meet somewhere a little quirky — maybe a tucked-away bookstore café. I’d ask him what it’s like to get los...

Learning to Be a Peaceful Presence

Learning to Be a Peaceful Presence  Hey, it’s KK, If the past few weeks have taught me anything, it’s that I’m not as patient with myself as I thought I was. I’ve always wanted to be someone who carries peace—for myself and for others—but lately, that has felt farther away than I’d like to admit. Some recent life shifts have made this clear. I’ve started a new job. I’ve entered a new living situation. I’m realizing I’m in my mid-twenties and still haven’t found that so-called knight in shining armor. And then there’s the long list of other things I wish I could control or fix — both for myself and for the people I love. The truth is, I have a big heart. I care deeply. I’m a people pleaser by nature. There are a few people in my life right now that I want so badly to help — to fix their pain, solve their problems, and just make it all disappear into thin air. But the harder I tried to fix things, the more I hit an emotional wall. And worse, I ended up doing the opposite of what I ...
