Flare-ups don’t pick convenient places.

They show up wherever they want.

Over the years I’ve had them on my feet, fingers, face, eyes, armpits, legs, and my belly button. Every location comes with its own kind of pain, but the belly button flare-ups… those hit different.

They linger.
They drain.
They take their time healing.
And sometimes just when you think it’s finally over… it comes back again.

Right now I’m in a healing phase, and thankfully the drainage has stopped. But I will never forget what it felt like when it was active — the pain, the constant cleaning, the frustration, and the isolation that can come with it.

So this is for the draining belly button warriors who might still be going through it.

Even though mine is healing right now, I still stand with you.
I still understand the fight.
And I know how heavy that experience can feel.

You’re not alone in this battle.

Just how life goes.

In this episode of Just How Life Goes, your girl decided to get a little creative and add something special to the house.

So I went on a hunt.

Scrolling through social media, searching for someone right here in Tampa that could make something custom. I wanted to meet the artist, support local, and really see the craft up close.

And that’s when I found Plug 4 Rugz.

Let me tell y’all… the meetup was awesome and the quality is pristine. When I got home, I put the rug right on my desk and now it’s basically my newest art piece. It completely changed the vibe of my space.

There’s something special about supporting people in your own city who are creating real art with their hands.

I already know I’m going back for another order.

So if you love custom pieces, creative work, and supporting local artists, go check her out and show her some love on her page.

“You Can’t Get In.”

Not because we’re gatekeeping pain…
But because unless you live with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, you truly cannot understand what it takes to survive it.

These photos are my armpits. My reality. My body.

The scars.
The inflammation.
The wounds that open, heal, and sometimes open again.

People can empathize.
Some can even sympathize.

But understanding? That comes from living inside the body that feels the burning, the swelling, the pressure, the nights where sleep is impossible because the pain won’t quiet down.

So when the song says “This a motion party, you cannot get in”… it hits differently.

Because HS warriors live in a world most people will never step foot in.

And instead of letting the world call it a curse, I’m choosing to change the narrative.

Yes, this condition is painful.
Yes, it is exhausting.
Yes, it has taken pieces of my life.

But it has also shown me strength I didn’t know I had. It has built resilience in a way that only people who fight their own body every day can understand.

So this isn’t shame.

This is survival.

And if you’re part of this community… you already know what it takes to stand here.

Just how life goes.

Come with me as I go get an MRI of my back and X-rays of my hips.

My back has been giving me the most trouble lately. Ever since my surgery in 2024 — a microdiscectomy from L5 to S1 — it hasn’t quite felt the same. Some days it creaks, some days it aches, and some days it reminds me very loudly that healing doesn’t always mean everything goes back to normal.

My hips have actually been doing a little better than they used to, thankfully. But since I had a hip tear before (still don’t even know how that happened), it’s time to get updated X-rays on both of them just to make sure everything is still looking okay.

Living with chronic conditions means a lot of check-ins with your body… and a lot of imaging appointments like this.

MRIs.
X-rays.
Waiting rooms.
And hoping the results bring some clarity.

So I’m bringing y’all along for the process. We’ll see what the scans say, and I’ll update you all in the next video once I get the results.

Just how life goes.

Living with PASH syndrome makes healing feel like a marathon that never really ends.

My skin doesn’t heal the way most people’s does. What might take someone weeks can take me months and months, especially when the wounds are deep, inflamed, and aggressive.

And when it happens on my legs… it’s a pain that’s hard to put into words.

The burning.
The pressure.
The swelling.
The fluid that drains and drains until you feel like your body has nothing left to give.

There were times my legs looked so severe that I couldn’t even share the photos here. Not because I wanted to hide the truth, but because the algorithm would take them down immediately. That’s how intense some of the wounds were.

Living with conditions like this can be incredibly lonely. People see scars after they heal, but they rarely see the months of pain, the sleepless nights, the constant cleaning, the gauze changes, and the mental battle of wondering if your skin will ever feel normal again.

My armpits.
My legs.
My belly button.

These are places that took forever to heal.

And even though my belly button has finally healed, my body is still fighting in other areas. That’s the reality of chronic inflammatory conditions like this — healing in one place while managing another.

But every scar on my body tells the same story:

I survived it.

And that’s just how life goes.

Alright y’all, here we go with another wound check before I head out.

Today I’m getting ready to go volunteer at a football practice so I can capture some content for them and just enjoy being around people and experiencing life outside of the HS world for a little while. Moments like that really matter to me — getting out, creating, and connecting with others.

Before I go though, I wanted to do a quick wound check. It’s kind of that middle-of-the-day turning into evening time, and overall things are doing pretty good. The smell isn’t too bad today, which is always a win. I can see a little bit of inflammation starting to show up, but honestly that’s pretty expected because I get my Remicade infusion tomorrow.

If you know the cycle, you know the week leading up to infusion can bring a little swelling, itching, and irritation. But the good news is tomorrow should calm all of that down. Once that Remicade gets into my system, my armpits usually settle down and the inflammation starts fading again.

So I’m feeling really hopeful and really excited heading into tomorrow. Today is about enjoying life, getting some content, volunteering my time, and still showing up for my healing journey at the same time.

Just how life goes. Love y’all. 🖤

Alright, here we go with another episode of Just How Life Goes, where Your Favorite Shooter and Just How Life Goes get to clash together once again.

I had the opportunity to volunteer at the women’s scrimmage for the Tampa Bay Inferno and it was an amazing time. It was HOT outside, but thankfully they kept us going with ice-cold water and fruit to stay hydrated. Seeing everyone come together—from Jacksonville and right here in Tampa—Avengers vs. Inferno was such an awesome experience.

I loved meeting new people, connecting with the players, the coaches, and capturing the moments behind the lens. And as a chronic illness warrior, I even had to sit down a few times to cool off and make sure I didn’t overheat—but that’s just part of the journey.

I hope y’all enjoy the video.
Just How Life Goes takes on the Your Favorite Shooter role.

On Saturday, on my way to a football scrimmage, I stopped by Publix to grab something quick to eat — I was really going in there for my usual sushi run.

But on my way out, something unexpected happened.

There was a table set up outside, and a woman stopped me and asked if I would listen for a moment. She was raising donations to help her daughter chase her dream of becoming a basketball player — with hopes of going pro one day and even playing on a team connected with Adidas.

As someone who believes in supporting people chasing their dreams, I couldn’t just walk past.

So I recorded this video to give them a little shout-out and hopefully help spread the word. Sometimes all it takes is a few people seeing something at the right time to make a difference.

If you’re able to support, even in a small way, I know it would mean a lot to them. And if nothing else, share the post so more people can see it.

You never know how far a little encouragement can go when someone is working hard to reach their goals.

Just how life goes 🤍

This goes out to all my young hos — and yes, I’m saying it with love because I know that’s the vibe right now 😂

Listen… if you’re living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, PASH syndrome, or any type of skin condition, I need you to hear this:

You can still live your life.

You can still go out.
You can still wear the outfit.
You can still dance, throw that thing, laugh with your friends, and have your moment.

Chronic illness doesn’t mean your life is over. It just means sometimes you have to move through life a little differently.

In this video I’m showing my belly button — because guess what? Even with everything I deal with, I’m still outside in spirit. At heart I’m still right there with y’all. I’m 30 now, but I’m still cheering on the ones who can get out there and LIVE.

So if your belly button is healed… let it hang out.
If your skin is doing okay today… wear the outfit.
If your body gives you a good moment… enjoy it.

And when the fatigue or flare tries to pull you back later? At least you made a memory first.

Go live your life. Go have fun.

Because at the end of the day… it’s just how life goes.
