Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best Friend

Today felt ordinary, yet it held quiet medicine: flipping my thyroid pill bottle, gagging less when thumb pulling, seasoning cottage cheese, remembering how joy in Massachusetts healed my body. I’m tired, longing for a hug, but grateful to keep showing up here with you.

I shared my morning alignment routine, from prayer to Kundalini yoga, and realized how much I do daily to set the tone. On TikTok Live we manifested my journal’s success, which moved me to tears. I also reflected on healing, mentorship, and God as my supply, reminding myself I’m covered in luck and supported.

I shared how a silly bath “rotisserie chicken” moment led me into talking about viral videos, thumb-pulling experiments, and dealing with unexpected feedback online. Between cavities, canceled dates, and manifesting wins, I kept reminding myself that I’m the prize, always evolving.

I’m calling myself a superstar tonight since my thyroid numbers are off the charts, and not in the good way. But I’m back on meds, doubling down on yoga, vitamins, and manifesting letters. I stretched, recorded monologues, stocked up on groceries, and even had a four-hour heart-to-heart with a friend who really gets me. Life feels heavy and blessed all at once, and I’m choosing to believe things are shifting for the better.

I dropped off my sample at the doctor, returned my library books, and reminded myself that what’s meant for me will always find me. I wrote a 30-day manifesting letter, set big intentions, found a mentor, and kept faith in my journal’s success.

Today was about ease. I went to Portillo’s for the first time (the hot dog was meh, but the Italian beef dipped in gravy was better). I spent the afternoon at Dillard’s trying on designer clothes, shoes, and bags, manifesting the glam version of me. It felt good to step into that energy and remember life doesn’t always have to be lemon difficult. Sometimes, it can be easy peasy lemon squeezey.

I wrapped up August by clearing space for September, setting my theme as Simply Spectacular. Small wins stacked up: abundance, gratitude, health steps, journaling, and I’m choosing to believe life only gets better and better.

Yesterday I fell asleep for 14 hours with the lights on after such a fun day out with my friend. Someone surprised me with $10 on CashApp, and I even applied for a book scholarship. I set up my phone bill on autopay, bought chips that reminded me of old favorites, and had the best chicken sandwich of my life. Even with questions about money, health, and school, I’m moving forward by trusting, applying, creating, and manifesting what’s next.

Today felt soul led. I got approved for food stamps, received $200 which took a weight off my shoulders, and even got gifted a drink when I forgot my wallet. The biggest win, I finished and submitted my guided journal to KDP at $15.55, a number of transformation. Nervous and excited, but proud.

I returned my iPad and some Amazon purchases to save money, rehearsed monologues in the car, and had an eye-opening doctor’s visit about Hashimoto’s. An unexpected $200 gift felt like a divine sign. Between donuts, journaling, and dreams of publishing, I’m learning balance in busy seasons.
