I’m Amanda, someone who’s always reflecting, growing, and finding meaning in the ups and downs of life. I write about my journey with honesty—whether it’s navigating health struggles, rediscovering joy in small moments, or reflecting on shows I’ve watched and places I’ve been. Creativity and expression are important to me, whether it’s through words, gaming, or sharing pieces of my story.
I value connection and community, especially between deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing people, and I’m passionate about creating spaces where understanding and empathy can thrive. Alongside that, I carry a love for nostalgia, little celebrations (like birthdays and milestones), and spontaneous choices that end up holding deep meaning—like a tattoo that tells a personal story.
Above all, I’m learning to embrace each season of life with resilience, reflection, and a touch of humor.
