Hey, I’m Leilani.
Somewhere between who I was and who I’m becoming, figuring it out one mistake, epiphany, and existential crisis at a time. This is a space for overthought revelations, quiet chaos, and the strange, beautiful in-between of being a 20-something girl.

"Nothing is so conducive to greatness of mind as the ability to subject each element of our experience in life to methodical and truthful examination, always at the same time using this scrutiny as a means to reflect on the nature of the universe, the contribution any given action or event makes to that to nature, the value this has for the Whole, and the value it has for man.”
-Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess a tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture, or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a person humanized or dehumanized.”
