Before the heartbreak and the healing — there was a girl finding herself.
A nostalgic, emotional journey through HBCU life, first love, friendship, faith, and finally choosing yourself — even when it hurts.
It’s not just a college love story —
it’s a journey through identity, self-worth, friendship, and faith.
It’s about the kind of love that teaches first, breaks you second, and rebuilds you eventually.
You'll laugh, relate, cringe, and remember who you were —
and who you're becoming.
Before the heartbreak and hard lessons, there were quiet walks across campus, unspoken feelings, and the version of you who was still learning how to love herself.

College was where so many of us learned who we thought we were…
and who we were actually becoming.
If you ever:
You weren’t foolish —
you were learning yourself.
You deserved grace then,
you deserve grace now,
and choosing yourself is never too late.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for reading.
And most of all, thank you for growing with me. 💛
