Hi, I’m Candace—though most of you know me as Jayda, so let’s stick with that.
I’m a proud fur mom to my cheeky 8-year-old Maltipoo who, if I’m being honest, pretty much runs the show around here. After six rewarding years as a content creator on OnlyFans, I recently decided it was time for a change—a change that came not just from wanting something different, but from life itself steering me down a new path.
In 2019, my world took a dramatic turn when my dad nearly slipped away from us due to a hemorrhagic stroke. That terrifying moment shattered my sense of normalcy and sent shockwaves through my life. The near loss of my father, coupled with a storm of other challenges, pulled me into a dark place I never saw coming, eventually leading to a diagnosis of complex PTSD.
Living with PTSD felt like I hit rock bottom at first, because it’s like navigating a stormy sea with no clear direction. Flashbacks crash over me like relentless waves, sudden blackouts pull me under, and bone-deep shivers strike when my mind takes me back to some of my darkest memories. But here’s the thing about rock bottom—it’s solid ground. And, it’s where I found the courage to push back, to rise, to breathe again.
I turned to writing, not just to process my pain, but to carve a way forward. This blog is my space to share that journey—not just the struggles, but also the victories, the small steps, the moments when light breaks through the cracks.
I hope my stories resonate with you. I hope they remind you that you’re not alone, that even in our darkest hours, there’s a flicker of hope waiting to guide us. We all have battles, scars, and stories that shape who we are. But no matter how many times we fall, we can always choose to stand up, to keep going, and to redefine our paths.
Thank you for being here. I’m so grateful to share this space with you, and I can’t wait to hear your stories too. Let’s find strength in our struggles, lift each other up, and walk this journey together.
With love,
Jayda
