Adulting Is Realizing That No One Knows What the F*ck They’re Doing

Some people are just better at pretending.

I used to think everyone else had it figured out — the careers, the relationships, the five-year plans. Meanwhile, I was somewhere between a healing phase, a travel phase, and a “what is the purpose of any of this?” phase. But the truth is, I think most of us are just doing our best to look composed while quietly Googling our next life decision.

I was going to start this blog with a polished intro — something about alignment, self-growth, and the art of becoming “that girl.” But then I thought, why not start with the truth?

This space isn’t about perfection. It’s about becoming — in real time. It’s about figuring life out as I go and sharing everything I’ve learned (and unlearned) along the way.

Here, you’ll find pieces of everything that’s shaped me: the heartbreaks, the glow-ups, the spiritual awakenings, the healing tools, and, of course — the fashion, the fitness, the skincare routines, the travels, the playlists, and the little rituals that keep me sane in the middle of it all.

Because healing isn’t just journaling under the moon. Sometimes it’s Pilates at 8am, an espresso in Rome, a new style that tells you who you can be, or overcoming a situation that reminds you of who you are. Sometimes, it looks like drinking wine on the couch for three days straight while you question every life decision you’ve ever made — and that’s okay. Healing doesn’t always look pretty — and it doesn’t have to. We all find our way back to ourselves in our own messy, beautiful ways.

This isn’t the highlight reel. It’s the full story — the good, the bad, and the becoming.

So, welcome to my blog — my life, in all its messy glory.

And if you’re wondering how I got here… well, you’re about to find out.

xo, Ria
