Kindness Matters

-

In case you haven't read this on my vsco or my mom's Facebook ;) 


Many recent events happening in my own life, and in the lives of people around me have really had an impact on me. First and foremost, kindness matters. Today people are constantly worried about appearance and being better than someone else, that is honesty so pointless. Who cares what he did this weekend or what she's wearing or who she took to lunch or what tweet he liked or anything else. That is not what matters. Our society is very highly based on social media, and a lot of it is not good. We should be using these platforms to encourage one another and to spread love and kindness to everyone around us, whether they are your best friend or a stranger. I cannot stress kindness enough, it is so important. You never have any idea what is going on in another persons life, you have no clue how their day is going so be kind. This is cliché, but seriously smiling or saying "hi" to someone who's having a rough day can completely turn their day around. Talk to the people around you, ask questions, build relationships because those are the important things in life, not how many likes your new selfie got on Instagram. Count your blessings, even when it feels like you have none, you are blessed. When you are at what feels like your lowest point, hold on. Things will get better and things will improve, stay strong. I am a firm believer of everything happening for that reason, and that reason is bigger than what you or I could ever imagine. As hard as it is, find what positivity could come from your hardships in life and embrace it. Always remember that you are not alone and that there are people there for you, even if you don't think so. I personally would be there for anyone who needed it, even if I didn't know the person. I know there is many people like me, so no you are never alone. Stay strong and hang in there no matter what is going on in your life at the moment. And most importantly, kindness matters. Throw kindness around like confetti.

A Journey of Working on Myself, For Myself

-
Today I’m celebrating one year since completing my (initial) ketamine journey.  I debated sharing this, because it is vulnerable and very personal, but mental health is not talked about enough. Recovering and healing from mental health issues is not talked about enough. I am a social work major with a psych minor. I work in the mental health field. I tell all my friends to go to therapy. I figured it is time to be open about mental health on social media. Let's be real, that's where people get all their information anyway. I’m sharing this post in hopes that it will resonates with at least one person. I hope this story can make someone feel a little less alone or a little less hopeless.  I never thought it would be possible to live a life that wasn't constantly fogged by my depression and anxiety. More specifically, I didn't even know who I was without my mental health issues. I don't think people realize how terrifying the thought of healing is, because it means ge...

Eighteen Milestone There is a few big milestones you hit while growing up. You turn 13 and officially become a teenager, then you have your sweet 16, then you finally become an adult and turn 18, and then there's 21, you're the real deal now. Well I have hit one of the last milestones-- 18 years old. While all the previous milestones haven't seen like much of a change, this one is different. This one is big. This one comes with all of the changes.  Changes In the next year of my life,  I am going to go through some of the biggest changes that I might ever go through in lifel. I am going to graduate high school, I am going to move away from the place I have called home for the past 18 years, and I am going to start college. I am going to living without my mom to help me with my every move. I won't have her putting all of my events in her calendar so I won't forget, or have her making sure I get my prescriptions. I won't even have her doing my laundry. I...

Thank You 2020

2020          Since I was old enough to comprehend what the year 2020 was, I couldn't wait for it. I knew that 2020 was going to be the year that held so many bittersweet endings and so many new beginnings. I knew that I was going to turn 18 and become an adult. I was finally going to graduate high school, younger me didn't comprehend that I still had a whole lot of education to go through, lol. I was going to decide on a college of my choice. The most dreaded though, I was going to move out and away from what has always been my home. I was so excited, and I looked forward to all of the huge changes and experiences that I would get to have during 2020.      What I didn't know, was that 2020 was going to hold a lot more changes than just the ones that I expected. I think the best word to describe this year is 'unprecedented.' So many things happened that no one would have ever even imagined. How were we supposed to know that when we ...
