My life lately has been defined by reassessing a lot of the things I thought I knew and the beliefs I thought I had. I've been saying yes to more things and liking things I didn't think I would. I feel like I'm looking back on beliefs and practices I used to cling to strongly … Continue reading Self Permission – Setting Intentions
Today's post will be a short one. Before I wrote this, I came across a fantastic photographer whose photos I'd like to insert throughout this post. ❤ Two weeks ago, I set a couple of intentions in order to practice self forgiveness - to practice loving self-talk and to write about feelings of guilt.

He also had a small tapestry of … Continue reading Atheism + Spirituality
Hello readers! Sorry about not posting last week, I'm on my Easter break from college and I'm enjoying two weeks off in Shetland. I've also had a lot of big life decisions to think about over the past few weeks which I've not felt ready to talk about yet. I know the direction that my … Continue reading Lil’ Life Update
I watched a video recently about Lil Xan, a rapper from California who has been very candid about his drug abuse. In the past, he was very reliant upon benzodiazepines and opioids but he is supposedly clean or becoming clean now - although this has been disputed by many. There was one part of the … Continue reading The Downside Of Medication As First Line Treatment For Anxiety + Depression
I only have two steps left on my 12 step journey to self-esteem growth, which is insane! I can't believe this - considering I've done two posts on nearly every step.

Today's post was supposed to be on self forgiveness but I got heavily inspired to write on this topic instead. I'm not making a post about alcohol to bash those who indulge in it.
