TEENAGE YEARS 🌠


Soda becomes vodka.
Bikes become cars.
Remember when
getting high meant swinging on the
playground?
When protection meant
wearing a helmet?
When the worst things
you could get from boys were cooties?
Dad's shoulders were the highest place on
earth and mum was your hero?
Your worst
enemies were your siblings.
Race issues
were about who ran the fastest.
War was
only a card game.
And the only drug you
knew was cough medicine.
The most
pain you felt was when you skinned your
knees,
And goodbyes only meant until
tomorrow?
And we couldn't wait to grow
up

Self-care/Mental Health Tips — Part 2

4. Cut the negative language/mindset — Anytime you have a negative thought find a reverse positive. Even saying "I'm not happy with how my hair looks but my ass looks great in these jeans" is better than saying "I look awful today". Stop the constant internal bullying! think of it this way, if your best friend said the things you say to yourself how would you feel? YOU'RE your OWN best friend, so cut the shit! compliment yourself like you do your best friend. Complimenting myself and finding things I find beautiful on my own body even once a day has increased my confident exponentially. A negative language towards yourself leads to a negative mindset. 5. Get outside, stay out of bed — Laying in bed is the best thing ever, I know, but it can be so easy to get in there and never get out. This is my biggest bad habit.  I feel more productive even just sitting on the couch. My bed is like a black hole of lost motivation. Go outs...

Seeing Me: Why We All Just Want to Be Understood

  Life is a big puzzle, and deep down, we all long for someone to truly see us. Eyes become little windows into our souls—a chance for someone to understand who we really are. Love begins with that simple act of seeing: noticing the way someone laughs, the spark in their eyes, the tiny things that make them uniquely them. In our teenage years, love can feel like discovering a secret world in someone’s gaze—a place where you feel safe, accepted, and a little bit extraordinary. Sometimes we just want to be noticed; other times, we want to be loved with all our quirks and imperfections included. Love is saying, “I see you—and I like every part of what I see.” The real magic happens when we look beyond the surface and dare to show who we truly are. It’s about finding someone who thinks your real self is enough—more than enough. So let your heart speak, let your eyes tell stories of curiosity and acceptance, and enjoy the dance of two young souls learning each other on this wild ride c...

Self-care/ Mental Health tips — Part 1

1. Create a self-care routine with motivation — By giving yourself some type of reward to wash your face, brush your teeth and shower, taking care of your body, such as only watching your favorite tv show afterwards or getting a scoop of icecream or two, will feel a bit easier to accomplish the tasks that seem simple but can be terribly hard, especially if you suffer from depression. I've learned that combining things into one task also makes it easier, such as once you get in the shower, do everything. Wash your face, brush your teeth, shave, all in the shower. It makes  self-care so much easier.  2. Keep your room clean —  I know it sounds too basic and I also know how hard this is but trust me this contributes to as much as 65% to your mood. I’m absolutely awful at it, even in the summer but it really makes the biggest difference. Coming home to a mess when your life is already stressful and messy enough just makes things worse. I kno...
