Taking a Quick Break

If you’ve been following my Terpene Spotlight series, you’ve probably noticed it’s been a little quiet here lately. I wanted to share why – both because transparency matters to me and because this blog is part of my healing, not separate from it.

The last couple of weeks have been intense in ways I wasn’t fully prepared for. I recently made the decision to go to the police and formally pursue charges against my assailants. It’s something I’ve gone back and forth on for a long time, but I finally reached a point where I felt ready.

My first experience at the station wasn’t great. The detectives I spoke to were… less than engaged, to put it politely. But despite that, they did refer my cases to the proper channels and the officer who contacted me afterward – the one who’ll be the primary on one of my cases – has been genuinely kind and supportive. That alone has made a huge difference.

Since then, most of my energy has gone into building as accurate a timeline as possible for the detectives. That means digging through old messages, bank records, photos, audio notes, toll statements – basically anything that can help piece together what happened, when and where. It’s exhausting, confronting and honestly, re-traumatising at times.

I’ve been working closely with my therapist, checking in with friends and family, and leaning on the tools I’ve learned to keep myself grounded while navigating all of this. We’ve been focusing a lot on recognising when my mood is slipping, catching those early signs of overwhelm and putting safety strategies in place before things spiral.

I want to be clear: I’m not disappearing and I’m definitely not giving up on this blog. I just need a short break to get my feet back under me and give my brain a chance to stop spinning before I dive back into writing.

Thank you so much for your patience, your understanding and for being part of this little corner of the internet with me. I’ll be back soon – with more terpenes, more education and hopefully, a much clearer head.

If you’re struggling, know that you are not alone. Support is out there and you deserve to access it.
