Welcome to 🌈 Narrated By Sarah

Where my life is basically a group chat with consequences, questionable coping mechanisms, iced coffee, and a plot line no sane editor would approve.

I currently live in what I lovingly call the Rainbow Sanctuary, which sounds peaceful until you realize my ex-husband and his mother also live here. Well, “live” is generous. They currently reside on my TV stand in their respective urns, silently judging my life choices from across the room like the world’s most morbid home decor collection. Nothing says “healing era” quite like walking past your former marriage in ceramic form while carrying laundry and wondering if this is what personal growth was supposed to look like.

Then there’s Craig, my boyfriend, my emotional support chaos goblin, and quite possibly the most annoying man I have ever chosen to love on purpose. He is dramatic, charming, ridiculous, suspiciously good-looking, and somehow manages to make every situation about either chocolate, a celebrity crush, or his skincare routine. He irritates me deeply, which unfortunately appears to be one of his love languages. Against my better judgment, I adore him.

And of course, there’s Bestie, my best friend, my nemesis, and a man with the infuriating spiritual gift of being right just often enough that the rest of us are forced to live under his smug little reign of accuracy. He is fashionable, judgmental, vegan, allergic to being wrong, and fully convinced he is the only adult in the room, which is rude because sometimes he is. Not always. Just enough to make him unbearable.

If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably my kind of people.

This little corner of the internet is where Facebook’s character limit comes to die.

Here, I get to tell the whole story. The road trips, concerts, coffee-fueled commentary, behind-the-scenes chaos, the boys, the kids, my emotional support Sphere, and all the tiny ridiculous details that make life feel less like a highlight reel and more like a group project nobody properly supervised.

You’ll laugh. You’ll roll your eyes at Craig. You’ll eventually realize Bestie is annoyingly right more often than any of us deserve. And somewhere between the sarcasm and questionable choices, I’ll probably sneak in something real about grief, love, friendship, and this bizarre little life we’re all trying to survive with caffeine and poor judgment.

So grab a coffee and welcome to my corner of the internet.

I promise you’ll never leave saying, “Well, that was normal.”
