Detachment
You can't miss something you never had right? You can't experience loss if you never started right? Those were the justifications I would tell myself to not get attached. This could mean something as tangible as a person or abstract as an idea. Detachment probably saved me from a lot of heartache but probably also … Continue reading Detachment
Asking for help
With the recent suicides, we are made aware of the importance of reaching out if we are struggling.

Your journey, your time

It's yours and you have the right to share when you feel comfortable. I get some people intentions, and they mean well, but everyone isn't ready. And that's ok. Your … Continue reading Your journey, your time
