a little reintroduction ✨

hi, i’m Riz.

if you’ve been here before — hi again. if you’re new, welcome 🤍

this little blog has always been my space to write things down. thoughts i can’t always say out loud. things i don’t want to forget. things i’m still trying to figure out.

it’s always been personal. and it still is.

but lately, life’s been shifting. and i guess this is my way of catching up with myself.

i’m in my late 20s now — almost 30 — and i feel it. not in a bad way, just… in a quiet, growing kind of way. life feels different. heavier in some parts, lighter in others. i’ve been thinking more about stability, about money, about the kind of future i want for my family 🏡

right now, i’m helping re-build our company’s online bookkeeping and accounting biz after we lost a major client. it hasn’t been easy but i’m learning to try again — even when things don’t go the way i hoped.

i’m also slowly finding clients of my own to help make things more stable 💼

and in between all that, i help run a sari-sari store and a small carinderia with my mom and partner. sometimes it feels like too much. sometimes it feels just right.

i’m learning a lot — about business, about responsibility, about money 💸 and the stories we attach to it. about how to build something better. how to give my future family a life that feels lighter than the one we grew up with 🌤️

this blog will still be what it’s always been — a diary 📝

but maybe now with a little more clarity.

a little more hope.

a little more heart. 💛

thanks for being here.

let’s see where this goes 🌱
