Tomorrow, I have two events very close to my heart. The mental health world is so complicated and so deeply scary. But also, filled with so much hope. I don’t run to be fit. I run because it means something. Every time I lace up, it reminds me of what I went through. It remindsContinue reading “Why I run and dance”

Ever wonder
Do you ever wonder why God does what God does. I went through one of the most horrifying life experiences very young and because I was a kid, I knew what was happening, but kind of didn’t know too. I am grateful every day to be here, but I can’t explain to you what itContinue reading “Ever wonder”
Social media part 2
There is a therapeutic technique I learned years ago. Sometimes we view people as we saw them before or previously, and treat them how we viewed them before, not how they are now. The technique teaches you to view the person as they are today, not the person they were 10 years ago or evenContinue reading “Social media part 2”
Grateful
Every morning, I wake up with a grateful heart. I am grateful to simply be alive. I am grateful that I get to experience another day and every single moment that day brings. I’ve had less time than most people here, because I was sick for a lot of my life, but I hope youContinue reading “Grateful”
I am sorry
I am sorry. And you are not forgotten. I am sorry this world is unfair. I am sorry to those who are affected by the unfairness. I am sorry this world is painful at times or most of the time. I wish I could take all of your pain, suffering and hurt, because I knowContinue reading “I am sorry”
Peace
I knew on September 1 2024, something would change, because with my Mba, we always had the month of August as a break from school. Every September 1, school started again. Your mind had to mentally prepare for another year of work and school. But this September, school is done. And for the first timeContinue reading “Peace”
my book part 2
I can’t even begin to explain how therapeutic the book was for me. The only way I can explain this is that I had anxiety around travel and after the book, most of my anxiety around travel faded. Now, I drive and fly everywhere with little anxiety. I can’t explain it either. After writing theContinue reading “my book part 2”
im good
In December of 2023, I was sitting quietly on a plane on my way back home. As we were on the tarmac, I said in my mind, like I always do, I think I am good, Universe. I’ve lived a good life, if it’s my time, it’s my time. But, typically as the plane startsContinue reading “im good”
i didn’t know
When my aunt and uncle picked me up from university, after my first, what they would call, episode, I didn’t know. Sitting in the backseat of that car, looking out the glass window, not remembering if I talked or not. But, I didn’t know. I couldn’t see the future in that moment of time. IContinue reading “i didn’t know”
my book
I am a different person than I was three years ago when I wrote my book. To be honest, I am a different person from one day ago. Some words in the book I don’t necessarily believe anymore, but I hold space for them and the person I was in that time. Success with aContinue reading “my book”
