Conscious Shopping

Very simply, I have been thinking a lot more about sustainable fashion. I'm not saying only wearing hemp clothing and recycled materials. But at least making the small effort of only buying ethically made, good quality clothing that will last! Trying not to buy fast fashion items that will be worn once and thrown in … Continue reading Conscious Shopping →

Lying to Yourself

I saw the quote today: "Don't believe everything you think!" and I couldn't agree more. You're supposed to gas yourself up, be your biggest fan. But when you aren't, in those moments you need to trust the people who love you more than you trust yourself. If everyone is telling you you're beautiful, even if … Continue reading Lying to Yourself →

Unfortunately, my psychiatrist told me to stay on my medication because all that bad stuff comes back. It's alright! I know I'm on the right track, and I'm going to keep getting better! The very last thing I'm going to do is let it depress me! :p

Some things are getting worse, like my sleep, and my seasonal affective disorder, but otherwise I … Continue reading Hoping for good news →

And so, I have been fighting seasonal depression, and quite … Continue reading Fighting SAD →

Slytherin Sisters

Recently, my siblings and I took the Pottermore quiz to see which Hogwarts house we would be sorted into (non-nerds leave now). My brother was sorted into Gryffindor first, and naturally, I wanted to be Gryffindor (the bravest) as well, ready to fight alongside my brother and Harry Potter! If not Gryffindor, I definitely wanted … Continue reading Slytherin Sisters →

Falling Deeper

While I feel happier every single day, my depression is getting worse. Take today for example: I had the whole day to do whatever I wanted. I was going to be productive! But every time I did something, I had to rest. Accomplish, nap, accomplish, nap. While I am happy with the small amount of … Continue reading Falling Deeper →
