Breadcrumbs from the Universe

My Journey from Misdiagnosis to Meaning

My Journey from Misdiagnosis to Meaning

“When you don’t know where you’re going, follow the breadcrumbs.”

For years now, I’ve felt like I’ve been following some kind of invisible trail—subtle signs, synchronicities, gut feelings, and quiet nudges that kept me moving even when I didn’t know where I was headed. I didn’t always have a name for it, but now I do: Breadcrumbs from the Universe.

That’s what this blog is about. It’s an experiment. It’s a reclamation. It’s a trail of insights, memories, photos, messages, and energy—all pointing toward healing, truth, and meaning.

Why I’m Starting This Blog

For most of my life, I was told that what I was feeling wasn’t real. That I was too much—or not enough. I was gaslit by systems and people who insisted my reality didn’t count. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder and labeled with psychosomatic neurological issues, I lived under definitions that never quite fit. But when you’re dismissed long enough, you start to believe it’s you.

Spring of 2024 changed everything.

I stumbled across an old medical diagnosis that had been buried for years. That breadcrumb cracked something open in me. Suddenly, the story I’d been told no longer made sense. And for the first time, my story started to come into focus.

The Year That Changed Everything

2024 was the most surreal, brutal, transformative year of my life.

My mother passed away. I had six neurosurgeries in just eight months. My body was breaking and healing all at once. My spirit was unraveling and awakening at the same time. It was a year of grief, truth, pain, clarity, and the kind of healing that doesn’t just patch you up—but rewrites you from the inside out.

The weird thing? Through it all, I kept noticing breadcrumbs. Little signs, little winks from the Universe that reminded me I was on the right path, even when it was hard. Especially when it was hard.

The Big and Small Experiments

So here’s what this blog is really about.

The Big Experiment:

I’ve come to understand what we call the soul as energy made conscious—filtered and shaped by the brain. But here’s the part that changed everything for me: if the soul is conscious energy, and energy is physical, then the soul is physical too. And if it’s physical, we can shift it—intentionally. That means we can change the balance of energy in the world just by how we show up, what we believe, and what we emit. This blog is me trying to prove that.

So my challenge to myself is: Can I pour so much positive, intentional, healing energy into the Universe that it actually snowballs and changes things—physically, emotionally, energetically?

The Small Experiment:

Can I finally get all these ideas, these thoughts, these Spirit messages, memories, and realizations out of my head and into the world in a format that works for me—with my challenges, my energy levels, and my way of processing?

This blog is my yes to both experiments.

What You Can Expect Here

This isn’t a blog with one niche or one theme. My life isn’t neat like that.

You’ll find stories from my medical journey, thoughts on spirituality and energy, grief and healing, political rants, neurodivergence, and everything in between. I’m going to start with January 2024 and work my way forward—using old photos, social media posts, journal entries, and medical records to reconstruct what I can and reflect on what it meant.

Some days, I’ll write essays. Other days, it might just be a photo and a sentence. This is going to be fluid, intuitive, and real.

Why I’m Sharing This Publicly

Because healing in silence is lonely. Because too many people have been misdiagnosed, dismissed, or disbelieved. Because we all deserve to feel like we’re not crazy, like we’re not alone.

And because maybe, just maybe, if I follow these breadcrumbs out loud, someone else will recognize their own trail—and start to follow it too.

Final Thoughts

If you’re here reading this, thank you. I don’t know exactly where this journey leads, but I do know it’s better when shared. If you’ve ever felt like your story didn’t fit, if you’re trying to piece yourself back together, if you believe in signs, magic, and the power of truth—welcome. You’re not alone.

Let’s follow the breadcrumbs together.
