Learn More: Behind IBG
The world of IBG, where the quiet ones aren’t just sitting in the corner—we’re out here observing, overthinking, and creating entire universes in our minds! I think society has spent way too much time glorifying extroverts as if being the loudest person in the room automatically makes you the most interesting. But let’s be real—introverts are the TRUE main characters. We may not always be in the spotlight, but we’re the ones who see things differently, who feel things deeply, and who often have the most to say… once we’re comfortable enough to say it.
So, what is IBG? Think of it as a sneak peek into my world—a mix of self-reflection, humor, and unfiltered real talk about growth, adulthood, and all the weird, beautiful, chaotic things that come with it. This blog is my way of processing life, and if it resonates with even one person, then it’s doing exactly what I hoped it would.
How Did We Get Here?
Honestly? A mixture of frustration, inspiration, and one too many moments of staring at the ceiling, asking, is this it? My head was spinning with questions out of pure curiosity that I wish more people would talk about, so that I could only begin to find my way. I was losing myself trying to squeeze into boxes and rooms that frankly, I just didn’t fit into. Thinking that maybe if I change myself enough, I’ll somehow magically understand the whys and hows of navigating life.
“It is very nearly impossible to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.”
Through the broken lens of what society had taught me, I thought I had a solution.. till one day, I realized…what I needed was right in front of me, or more so… was me, the real, authentic version of me. Makes sense if you were all busy looking through the broken lens to fit the picture... Who is watching the people looking through the lens? And who is going to be the ones to mention.. maybe, just maybe, that system is outdated & flawed. OH RIGHT. THE INTROVERTS!! But no fr, the people who understand that, that looking glass wasn’t meant for you or me, and we were never supposed to be put in those boxes.
Somewhere between navigating early adulthood, feeling overshadowed, and constantly questioning what’s next?, I realized that I needed a space that felt like me. And if I needed it, maybe someone else did too. I think as a society people get way too comfortable with being uncomfortable (Ironic) that we forget that life is what you make it, not what other people tell you it is.
I used to love solo adventures, reading, plants, and just existing in my little world. But life has a way of pulling you in different directions, and before I knew it, I was prioritizing everything and everyone else over the things that made me me. Sound familiar? Yeah, that’s why we’re here.

What You Will Find Here
IBG isn’t just a blog—it’s a space for growth, healing, laughter, and vibes. Some days, I’ll be sharing deep reflections on self-discovery; other days, I might be rambling about my latest hyper fixation or a life lesson I learned the awkward way. It’s a balance, just like life itself.
So, if you’re an introvert figuring out adulthood, someone who loves a good mix of humor and wisdom, or just curious about my take on things, welcome. Read, comment, and share your thoughts—this is a space for all of us to grow, reflect, and maybe even thrive (eventually).
Being an introvert isn’t a limitation. It’s a superpower. While the world is busy shouting, we’re listening, learning, and crafting something meaningful. And that’s what THIS is all about! Welcome to IBG!

Originally from Seattle, I’ve called New Orleans home for the past six years — and I love it here. The food, the culture, the warmth... it all just makes me feel alive. I’m a big lover of green (in all forms), plants, animals, and quiet moments. Writing is where I find myself, and most things I do are rooted in curiosity, care, and the kind of learning that never really stops.
