I can’t believe I went from 19 to 20 today…

I’m getting old 😭

It's almost kind of scary how limitless art is...Art is infinite...

I hope hearing my take on why art helps the way it does gave you better insight and maybe even a little motivation to try art out next time you have nothing to do or even as a way to relax!

I'm so glad to hear that art helps you a lot as well! It really does give you those different angles and perspectives that can tell you so much about yourself and others.

Thank you for reading my blog 🫶

I feel you right there, that dissociation can hit hard 😭

I'm glad you'll try out doodling or painting though! Trust me, it can do more than what you think

I never knew either until I was digging around like a rat in a dumpster trying to find all the juicy morsels of information.

I hope you learned something new! Thank you for reading my blog!

The activities are so much fun and so simple, no matter the art skill. I cannot recommend it enough that you try it, it's a whole new world on the canvas

We'll make it through! Try some doodling before you go into your exam to ease that stress ;)

As someone who's been raised by my grandma, I hope she can put up with me forever cause I ain't moving out! I love her so much.
While I understand wanting to live alone to learn and explore the "independent" lifestyle, having connections is so important for your health (people literally live longer)

Here's to manifesting we all do well for our final exams!

I love how you pointed out visualizing, positivity, and gratitude and how important those are if you want something to come true. Visualize what you want, keep a positive outlook, and appreciate what you already have 🫶

I am so sorry about your friend, I can't even imagine going through all that. This really shows the amount of struggles that never end and pile on for people like her. You are such a good friend sticking by her. Thank you for sharing her story so we can see firsthand what PCOS looks like.

I always knew Mort was a psychopath...
I love how you compared Mort to Satan and actually had info regarding lemurs from Roman mythology and the movie itself to prove your point.
I actually can't believe you took Mort of all characters and was like "No, guys, hear me out! Look at the proof! Evil!"

NEW BLOG COMING OUT AT 8pm TONIGHT!!

I found an amazing article and I go over it in my blog. You won’t wanna miss it!

A lot of these jobs don’t actually have physical aspects (or anything physically taxing). As someone who worked landscaping in the scorching sun for months, I would much rather take being an ethical hacker or game design developer. I rather the mental strain than physical lol 😂

I think it honestly depends on the person in general now that gender is less of a factor when it comes to jobs.

Though some fields definitely are still male/female dominated because of the bias/judgement around them. (Such as labour jobs vs “girly” jobs like art, nursing, etc.)

I love that you highlighted the reasons for mental health stigma and provided simple but informative explanations. I hate that parts of society still thinks “men should be tough” and “women are always emotional”.

Mental. Health. Matters!
No matter who you are!

End👏The👏Stigma

I’m open for anything tbh! Maybe not so much mystery, those often frustrate me lol

I am addicted to information about tornados. They’re so fascinating!!
It’s terrible though how climate change is causing more of these natural disasters. Mother Nature is fighting back.

You should add some tips and advice on how to help at the end of your blogs!
We all need to do more 🫶

I love the concept of “lower” and “higher” in ourselves, the two opposing forces of collectivism vs individualism. While lower seems easier, higher is more beneficial in the end.

This book sounds super interesting. I definitely need some help in becoming a better strategic observer

This is absolutely touching, I love the quote from Alistair Cooke.

Self care is so important and it’s so rewarding when you either take a small walk or brighten someone’s day just giving them a smile and wave. There’s so many people out there that you wouldn’t know are in pain.

Pay it forward 🫶
