When my mom passed away, it was devastating, but t

When my mom passed away, it was devastating, but there was a strange sense of closure.
There was pain, yes, but there was also a finality: a quiet goodbye that allowed me to grieve, to make peace with her absence. It felt like a new way of having her in my life: a softer, more distant version of her presence. As hard as it was, I knew that grief would come in cycles: when I see her favorite coffee shop, when I want someone to do my nails with, and of course, every holiday and accomplishment.
But with my dad, it’s been different. As my only parent left, it was almost forceful to become best friends. He was the one I could talk to about anything, the one I turned to when I needed advice or just someone who understood me. But what I failed to address were the years of absence, arguments, and resentment. Before I knew it, his priorities shifted, though I didn’t want to see it at first. Unfortunately, these changes began loooong before I could fully accept them…

Sabrina Carpenter has been the voice and vibe of our summer, with three consecutive weeks at the top of the charts and a sold-out tour, she’s earned the title of this summer’s “It Girl.” However, Sabrina’s recent public relationship with Barry Keoghan sparked controversy, reminding us of the delicate balance between personal and public life. Read on to see when we should share the things that matter most to us, especially our relationships.

an honest update from bella: My passion for Livi

an honest update from bella:
My passion for Living By Bella has always remained true but has wavered at times. Recently, I watched an interview where the interviewee said, “I feel like a fraud because I haven’t reached as many people as I’m supposed to.” This perfectly summed up my feelings. Despite having over 2,000 subscribers, I feel that Living By Bella hasn’t reached its full potential. I turned my passion into a business and regretted it because, at its heart, this wasn’t a business; it was a form of self-expression and connection.
I am so thankful for every reader and supporter. I don’t want to make any false promises or announce another relaunch. I just want to be honest. I will always write and keep this website running. If I’m not writing an article, someone else will. I will continue this newsletter, or “mini-magazine,” because I receive so many awesome responses from you all, saying that it’s helpful, nice to read, or a pleasant weekly reminder. So, I want to apologize again and make sure you all know I’m here to stay, even if I’m not always at the forefront...
For a deeper update on my life and what I’m doing, learning, and exploring, look for the full story on Living By Bella.

thank you thank you thank you! Since announcing our July 3rd relaunch across several platforms, we’ve gained 40 more Living By Bella members and supporters.
Now for some brutal honesty: relaunching LBB has been a tough ride. Within the past week, we’ve had to rebuild our website from the ground up, and unfortunately, many of the interactive features that were included in the relaunch are unavailable or will come at a later date. Sigh. The good news: Our first publication, a 5 minute read + mini magazine delivered to you weekly will still arrive to your inbox this Monday, July 3rd.
Apologies for the inconvenience, but look forward to what’s to come!
Love, Bella

A Question Asked By One of You💗 Becoming confi

A Question Asked By One of You💗
Becoming confident (whether on the outside or inside) is a process and can take days, weeks, or even months, but it's unique to you. Don't limit yourself to trying new things because of your appearance. You are deserving and beautiful, and you need to know that and decide it. Remember, do things you like everyday and move your focus toward those activities. The more you feel confident on the inside, the less you feel unconfident about your appearance and other's opinions of it.
