Checkpoint📍 6/15

Hi petals! 🌹

Welcome back to another blog post. ♡

I wanted to start a new series with The Rose Veil Journal — a weekly check-in where I share how I’m feeling, what I’m working on, and what’s happening behind the scenes.

There won’t be a specific topic each week. I simply want a space to stay accountable, keep track of my emotions and goals, and stay connected with all of you.

I want these posts to be honest. The highlights, the lowlights, and everything in between.

So, let’s begin.

Honestly, last week wasn’t my best.

I felt discouraged and mentally exhausted. I spent a lot of time thinking about my content, my career, and where I’m headed. Those thoughts can spiral quickly when you’re already feeling down.

Then I had a hair appointment that I drove a long way for, paid $50, and after a five-minute consultation was told, “I can’t do your hair.” 🫠

Needless to say, that didn’t exactly help my mood.

On the brighter side, I went to the movies and saw Obsession. Wow. What a movie. It absolutely deserves all of the hype it’s been getting!

In a strange way, I think this week felt a little like rock bottom.

My amazing best friend, Moobygooby, pulled tarot cards for me (and you all know how much I love spirituality). She pulled The Sun reversed. It genuinely felt like the sun had gone out and storm clouds had rolled in.

But I’m here now.

This morning I journaled, filmed part of my morning, and spent some quiet time with myself. As I’m writing this, I’m cuddled up with my cat, feeling a little lighter than I did a few days ago.

Maybe that’s what this week is about: finding small pockets of sunlight when everything feels cloudy.

I’m looking forward to a fresh start, getting back into my routines, and creating things that make me excited again.

Here’s to a better week ahead.

xoxo,

Rose Veil
