In 2022, I almost drowned.
Not a metaphor. Actual ocean water.
I lived, but something in me didn’t come back the same.

That moment led me here, to Exploring Mimi, a healing and identity blog born from the quiet work of rebuilding.

It started calm, then turned existential and confusing, like most wake-up calls do.
So I started writing, mostly to survive the quiet after,
and to figure out one question:
What am I doing with my second chance at life?

Since then, this space has become a home
for the woman unlearning everything she was taught
about being good, loved, or fine.

It’s a journal turned public,
notes from the middle of becoming, messy, honest,
and, as I like to call it, mushy.

I bought this domain during a late-night identity spiral.
A few months later, I typed into my phone:

This is me trying to live up to that.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re both breaking and rebuilding at the same time,
welcome.

You belong here.
