Hi, I’m Maxine.
Welcome to my somewhat-but-not-so-private journal. For now, this is a space for me to post about growth, trauma, healing, and all the other deeply intrusive thoughts fixings of life.
Chrysalis: a personal project.
A mirror jump-scare kickstarts a yearlong journey of self-acceptance.
Wearing sunglasses at the gym.
A throwaway item from the past changes the trajectory of my powerlifting journey.
The butterfly effect.
A conversation 20 years in the making begins with an iced almond latte from a year ago.
The beautiful mundane.
The woes of shitty parking are no match for someone set on living their life.
