memento mori ☠︎︎ amor fati ❀ vivere disce

learn to live…

…a life that feels meaningful.

…surrounded by love and community.

…authentically, as yourself.

…in acceptance and harmony with yourself.

life is for living

Hi! My name is Aria, and when I was younger, I wondered if I might be an alien dropped off on planet Earth.

Okay, not really. But I did really struggle to connect with other humans a LOT. Hell, I struggled to connect with myself most days.

I had so much love to give, but nowhere felt safe to put it. Constantly in fear, I overworked myself and neglected my own needs for years.

I was waiting for someone to come save me, to come look at me and finally say: “you’re worthy.”

After so long struggling, I stumbled into my first therapy appointment—looking for something but not knowing what.

And what I found shocked me:

No one was coming to save me.

I had to save me. I had to do the work to heal the wounds to feel safe again. I had to be the one to look at Aria and tell her: “you’re worthy.”

Through therapy, I learned to live—vivere disce.

And now, as a therapist myself, I’m trying to pay it forward.
