Change

 My heart feels extra heavy today. Nothing bad particularly happened to me more or less just watching the way people now a days handle situations. What happened to being good to one another? To help when someone’s down? When did we all become so selfish? I know I’m to blame sometimes for being a little spoiled but at the end of the day I know I’m a good person that just wants to see others do good. 

I couldn’t sleep really at all last night. Heard about the Astroworld festival and what took place that night and i’m absolutely horrified. From what the news said 8 people lost their lives but looking at the YouTube footage last night and hearing attendees side it sounds like it was a lot worse then what the media wants you to know. I try to not let myself get consumed with what I hear but when you are just so heartbroken by the whole thing you just don’t know where to start. 

We have to be better people. Watching those people rush those gates, knocking over everything in their paths, ignoring all security, pushing over all kinds of people and just trampling them…for a show. 

Are you kidding me? 

I honestly think everyone had a part in what went down and ignoring it won’t be the change we so desperately need. I know I’m just one person but if we all stood up for what was right and held each other up instead of crushing them we would realize just how powerful we are when we work together. My heart goes out to everyone who was affected by this disaster either by being hurt or worse lost their lives. 

I hope one day we can all realize that we can’t be so careless with our actions. There is a better way to be. 

Astroworld isn’t the only other time disasters have struck. It’s happening all around us. We all have become so angry with the news even social media & its becoming a very scary toxic place. There is a reason I took a 7 month break off Facebook. Everything is so corrupted I find myself getting depressed when I’m surrounding myself in this negativity when really that means I need to shut my phone off & go get lost in nature. 

Take this time to really just take a step back and look at ourselves, are we really doing good? We trying to help others in this time where we need each other the most? Even just a small nice comment you can say to someone to make them smile, I believe even small little gestures can make the most impact. just hope and pray that God will handle everything in the end because that’s the only hope I have left right now. But I really hope humanity can prove me wrong. 

Take today (or whenever you read this) try doing 1 good thing for someone today. Someone you know or a completely random stranger. Hold the door open for someone, comment on that girls cute pink hair, tell someone good job when they working hard. I promise it really isn’t that hard. Maybe with just small act of kindness daily we can move mountains. 

Remember that I love you and we can do this together❤️

Still figuring it out

Hey guys,   Wow it’s been so long I almost feel silly for coming back. But I told myself I was doing this for me and honestly I felt like when I typed out how I was feeling I started to kinda feel better like I was starting to really make a breakthrough on my healing process. But then I stopped. Stopped journaling, I stopped doing my morning yoga, I stopped listening to myself and got caught up in everyone else’s life and found myself in a depression phase yet again. I know things will be okay but yesterday I had finally hit a breaking point and cried for hours. How did I let myself become so consumed with stress & everyone else that I forgot about my own mental health & happiness? I stopped doing what I wanted to do. I stopped my photography, stopped working out, I lost my job. I just stopped taking care of myself until I broke. I’m only human and I know I’m not good at expressing my emotions when my mind is racing in any stressful situation and I think about all the bad t...

Bye bye WA

I always thought I’d forever be a Washington girl. I always talked about traveling the world but the thoughts of actually doing it never seemed as close as they actually were. But I guess that’s the crazy thing about life, you really never know what’s coming next. In a short month (if that) I will be packing up everything & moving to Virginia. Like across the country, different time zone, what? I still can’t process everything that’s been going absolutely insane in my head recently, like I’m so mentally tired recently I can hardly think. It’s a bittersweet chapter that I’m so excited for & yet fearing the unknown is an understatement. The thoughts of leaving my family make my heart hurt so bad. My family is my everything. My mom has literally been my rock through every hard stage I’ve had in my life & she has always been by my side. My entire family pretty much lives in Wa with a few exceptions so being the first one to really “leave” the nest is overwhelming, but I’m ready...

South life: month update

  Well, it has officially been a little over a month (already?) since I packed up everything & moved my little life all the way from Washington to Virginia. I can’t believe it’s already been that long. Time seriously feels like it’s flying. But with that being said I can truly say that I’m happy here, still adjusting to the little culture shock I got once I arrived, but I’m happy. I’m finding myself not so worried about things that overtook my mind in Washington & I can actually feel like I can breathe again. It’s almost like my mind & body needed this transition.   I needed away from all the rain, especially as we come into winter where my seasonal depression usually hits the hardest. I’ll be curious to just see if even just more sun will make me happier. Winter for whatever reason was always so hard for me, all the trees losing their leaves so quick you don’t really get much of a fall at all and it’s one of my favorite seasons. Here we get all four seasons and I’...
