Here’s a look into my mind — a neurodivergent, bisexual, milennial who is trying to navigate & enjoy life.

These posts embrace honest humanness — working on my mental health, living restriction-less after many years of having an eating disorder, and sharing the joys & lighthearted aspects of life, as well as the struggles & hardships. It is also my hope to foster understanding, community, and empowerment & self-acceptance.

Well-being

Creating Monthly Intentions instead of goal setting

While setting goals can be a great way to achieve results, there can often be a lot of guilt and pressure of completing these goals. Instead of focusing on "what" I want to change, I’ve been setting intentions which has allowed me to focus on the "why" behind my goals to give flexibility in "how" I reach them.

when i remember this summer

This post was thanks to Illuminate, a writing community by The Kindred Voice. Time has both felt like it’s stopped while also gone by so fast. At least for me, summer is usually a time for change, excitement, adventure, and many, many plans. This summer has a lot of uncertainty though.
