Soooo

 Somehow I messed up my my background for the texts so everything is glitching and coming up weird! Hopefully I can get it fixed and updated soon enough. Enough you can follow my probable new account 😭

Delusional Self-Confidence Might Be My Best Trait

I fully support a healthy amount of delusion.

Not the “I’m never wrong” kind. More like the “I’ll figure it out” kind.

Half the things I’ve done in life started with me having absolutely no clue what I was doing. I just convinced myself I could learn along the way. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it was a complete disaster. Either way, I survived.

I think we underestimate how far confidence can take us. Not because confidence magically makes you good at something, but because it gets you to try in the first place.

If I waited until I felt completely qualified, fearless, or ready, I’d probably never do anything.

So yes, sometimes I gas myself up before I have proof.

Sometimes I apply anyway.

Sometimes I post anyway.

Sometimes I start the project anyway.

Maybe it’s a little delusional. But I’d rather bet on myself than talk myself out of every opportunity before I even begin.

A little delusional self-confidence has gotten me a lot farther than self-doubt ever has.

Karma bites…

 Disclaimer: I am not a mean girl but what you do to others, comes back to bite you

This girl I had been best friends with in highschool, who eventually got with ex the day we broke up and spread rumors about me which in turn ruined the rest of my highschool years, just got pregnant and married

To a guy she’s only known for a few months..

Now if anyone knows her like I do, they’d know that she’s jumping into something she’s not ready for. She always looked for the first sign of love with any guy, and ended up jumping to the next

And now as we get older, I realize that she had nothing on me lol

All those years of her trying to antagonize me and hurt me came back to bite her

I’m the one graduating college, with no kids, moving when I finish school, and a list of other things

Not saying it’s not possible to do things with children, just usually a lot harder 

Not bragging but just proud because I dealt with the her for so long and kept my peace and quiet and now I end up coming out on top

A lesson to those of you dealing with that rn, let karma do its thing

Into a new era

As much as I love the pink, I’ve decided that I’ll change it soon enough for fall. Obviously still girly let’s be serious now, but much more 2014 pretty little liars if that makes sense? Idk I’m just talking off the top of my head.

Also, that “Johnny” is total crap. I think..

I kind of spotted it a mile away but I try to see the good in people first before anything else, and as nice as he is, he’s still a man smh

A golden retriever is still a dog as they say

Anyway, just wanted to share in case you see any  updates around here soon

Xoxo, Riah

I’m so indecisive

Idk if it’s just me or what, but I look at everyone else’s blog and fall in LOVE with them and get so much inspiration to where I want to redo my whole page

I love the 2000’s a bunch and it’s always been my thing, but that 2024 tumblr has a CHOKEHOLD on me yall LOL

Maybe I should just make another blog altogether with that vibe, and just have two blogs? Not sure all that I would put on it though

I just have too many ideas :D

SOS

Guys HELP!! Soo apparently there are two guys who want to take me to the new spider man movie I’ve been dying to see, and I don’t know who to go with…

Let’s say their names are Johnny and Jasper. Johnny is a really sweet guy and someone I’ve known since elementary school, and Jasper is a guy who I’ve known since highschool, and is considered a “bad boy” if we’re gonna get Disney Channel in here. 

I’m kinda of stuck T-T but going by myself seems more appealing, but what the heck a date wouldn’t hurt.

Stay tuned to see who was picked!

I’m ZOINKED

 Just finished traveling and currently at my grandpa’s place, but I’m SOOOOO tired T_T. I went to the zoo in Missouri AND botanical garden and was thrilled of course, but the walk there made me want to literally pass out. My feet, legs, even my back is sore smh. Also, I’m trying to update quite often from here on out and just write, not focusing on making this page perfect. I want this to be an actual blog and not some side of the internet filled with how-to articles. Anywho, I’m going to pick up some chick fil a and treat myself to some online window shopping and SLEEP 💤 

Xoxo, Riah

Hii

Okay, so I finally made a blog.

I’ve been wanting a little corner of the internet that actually feels like mine for a while. Somewhere I can write things down, keep memories, share random thoughts, and have a place to look back on this part of my life later.

Because honestly, life right now is kind of strange.

I’m at that point where everything is changing at once. I’m starting my last year of community college, trying to figure out what comes after, and slowly realizing that nobody really has adulthood completely figured out. Everyone acts like they have some perfect plan, but most people are just taking things one step at a time and hoping they’re making good decisions.

I think that’s something I’m learning right now — life doesn’t always happen in a straight line.

There are so many little moments that make up who we are. The random conversations you never forget, the songs you play over and over, the shows you get attached to, the outfits that make you feel confident, the places you go, the people who come and go, and even the moments where you feel completely confused.

Usually, those things just disappear. They get buried in a camera roll, forgotten in old messages, or lost somewhere in your memories.

I don’t want that.

I wanted a place where I could actually keep track of this era of my life. Not just the “perfect” moments, but the real ones too. The random thoughts, the opinions, the things I’m learning, the things I’m obsessed with, and everything in between.

This website is basically my little digital scrapbook. A mix between an old-school internet diary and a personal magazine.

You’ll probably find a little bit of everything here: life updates, photos, fashion and beauty thoughts, media reviews, advice columns, quizzes, and whatever else I feel like sharing. Some posts might be serious, some might be completely random, but that’s kind of the point.

I miss when the internet felt more personal. When people had their own websites, blogs, layouts, playlists, and little spaces that showed who they were. Everything feels so polished now, and sometimes it’s nice to have something that feels real.

So this is my attempt at bringing a little bit of that back.

I have no idea what this blog will become or where it’ll take me, but I think that’s what makes it interesting. Maybe years from now I’ll come back here and laugh at my old posts. Maybe I’ll be surprised by how much I’ve changed. Maybe I’ll miss the person writing this right now.

Either way, I’ll have the memories saved.

Welcome to the archive.
