Idony

Originally just a fever dream, this blog first began as a place where I could share my journey towards wellness and mental stability. As I evolved, so did my writing. Now, we’re getting real and rational. This is a place for us to process emotions, create personal philosophies, and simply try to figure out late adolescence and early adulthood.

I like to think I know some things and I might as well share

When I was in the third grade, I would walk around with a little notepad and ask my teachers and peers about anything interesting they had seen or heard that day. I didn’t consider it journalism, but years later I realized that this has always been what I loved doing. Nothing makes me feel more alive than interacting with people and learning the stories that connect us all. Idony is just one way I try to articulate these findings; long-winded Instagram captions is another.

Sometimes I write!

Full archive of everything I’ve ever published! A little bit of wisdom, a little bit of honesty, and lots of love.

Want advice? Have something you want my opinion on?

There’s something about checking an email inbox that makes an advice column feel professional. I like to think I know a lot about a lot, so ask away!
