A Hard Gal: A Rebel Woman

As mental health becomes a more mainstream topic, especially with younger generations, it can be easy to get lost in the shallow displays – social media showing nice images and messages about depression, body image, etc., admittedly I am drawn to, can be overwhelming or almost numbing; how can I engage with this topic in […]

Depression Isn’t a Personality Trait

In our current society of being open with mental illness and documenting our individual ‘journeys’ with it, I came to a realization a while back: Did I truly know who I was, who I am, and who I will be without my mental illness? Am I showing my authentic self? It’s a confusing, and even […]

I feel, Therefore I Am…Aren’t I?

My therapist asked me to write this. As a quiet child I’ve always kept my feelings and emotions to myself, never to completely show them to others.

Purpose in the Planting

Everything you do has purpose, whether you recognise it in the moment or not. I want this place to have a purpose, whether as a means of self-care, to learn from others, maybe even inspire others who read this. Admittedly, since I graduated from college in 2014 and came back home , my mind has […]

Planting the Seed

I’ve put this off for a while. I’m not one to express myself very openly. I’ve had this idea for a blog for a little bit, but lack of motivation, procrastination, other interests, etc. always made me put this off, thinking to myself ‘I’ll start tomorrow.’ But that line of thinking has permeated into many […]
