You Ever Have That Feeling That You’ve Been Gifted The Most Precious Animal; Because They Are Bound To Be With You?

You ever have that feeling that you’ve been gifted the most precious animal; because they are bound to be with you? Words cannot describe how much happier I am when my lil shadow, CoCo — Coquito en Espanol, is following my feet.

I have responsibility to care for my pup. But what she doesnt realize; if I didnt have her — i wouldnt get up, get out of bed, go on walks, feed, care, run around to vet appointments.

Having a lil dog is a bit easier than having children; but Im not opposed for family life in the future. In the midterm; this is what I can handle.. a wild, lil Coquito Burrito…

She’s my ride or die — traveling the world. #chihuahuamom #cocochanel

Life Update: Disability, Accessibility, Van Life & Finding Purpose

Posted: August 25, 2026

Understood. We keep the story and emotional movement, but remove the jokes, punchlines, and overly dramatic one-line breaks. It should read like a genuine personal essay — grounded, strong, hopeful, and written in full paragraphs. Life Lately: Finding Purpose Through Change I’ve been meaning to write a life update for a while, but life has [...]

Home isn’t always four walls

Posted: July 14, 2026

People have been asking me why I’m struggling so much with finding a place of peace. The answer isn’t simple, but it is honest.
