It’s easy to feel like I am unlovable. Like the way that I am takes away some of the value I hold as a human being. That I am ‘less than’ because of reasons ‘x, y, and z.’My struggle with mental health has falsely defined me for too much of my life. I allowed the [...]
Sometimes, all you need is to take a break and work on yourself. If you’ve experienced emotional pain or trauma, you know that healing is a process. And just like a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, you too must undergo a period of transformation in order to emerge as a stronger, more resilient version of [...]
It’s so hard for you right now. No one seems to understand. Many seem to not care. I’m sorry. You’re right. It’s super hard. Your emotions are all over the place. You aren’t sure what you’re going to do. You’re not even sure you’re going to make it. By grace, through faith, you WILL make [...]

I know how you’re feeling. I know the exhaustion that stretches across your skin and the emptiness returning to your chest after a long year. It has been a long one. You’ve survived so much. I know you want to huddle in bed right now instead of writing this, but I also know you ache [...]
This isn't the end, only the beginning. I’ve been there. You’re feeling confused and in a slump because you have no idea when it happened. Life got busy, you got overwhelmed, and you started to lose yourself in the midst of everything else going on in your world. The moment when you started noticing that [...]
“Oftentimes the hardest part of the journey is simply believing you’re worthy of the trip.” I noticed that you haven’t been yourself lately. There’s been a lot on your plate and you’ve been having trouble keeping up. But don’t despair, please stay hopeful. Everything is going to come back. Your peace, your confidence, your joy, [...]
The rarest of all friends; I love you three. When I was younger I read a quote that said, “If you can count how many friends you have, on one hand, you're lucky.”When I was younger, I didn't understand what he meant by this. But isn't it great to have tons of friends? I asked [...]
