Hey there! I’m Darla, a 22-year-old figuring out life in sunny Florida, where the sunsets are breathtaking, and life’s ups and downs keep me on my toes. I’m single, with a dating life that could rival a reality TV show, and navigating the sometimes-painful, sometimes-hilarious rollercoaster of your 20s.

By day, I’m a bid coordinator in commercial construction, managing the chaos of deadlines and projects. But outside of work, I’m chasing the things that make me feel alive—reading, writing, photography, painting, fishing, and soaking up as much time outdoors as I can. My golden retriever, Skipper, is my constant companion, and we never miss a good sunset.

Lately, my journey has been about more than just surviving my 20s—it’s about finding hope and purpose. I’ve recently started growing in my faith and discovering what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus. It’s been a grounding, eye-opening experience that’s changed the way I see myself and the world around me.

This blog is where I share the raw, real, and messy parts of life—letting go of perfection, finding joy in the little things, and learning how to live fully. Whether it’s navigating friendships, faith, or the occasional curveball, I hope my stories bring you a sense of hope and remind you that you’re never alone on this journey. Let’s laugh, grow, and walk through this beautiful chaos together.
