edit: this is not to negate women's mental health or make one more important than the other because both are equally important :) i didn't know what to blog about today but men's mental health is a subject i care about very deeply so i want you all to feel seen, heard and understood <3 i want to start by saying this bluntly, i am not a man and this is not my story to tell on behalf of men but it is something i care very deeply about. there seems to be a lack in support for men's mental health, and there needs to be more space, more compassion, and a lot less silence. this is a subject i care very deeply about because i had a male family member take their own life, and i wish at the time there was more support for men's mental health because he could very well be here today. many men are taught growing up on how to endure, not on how to express their feelings. to be strong, and dependable. somewhere along the way, their emotions become something they have to manage alone or just ignore completely which is why not many men speak up. let me tell you, emotional pain is not less valid simply because we can't see it with our eyes. struggling doesn't mean that you are weak, and needing help doesn't make anyone less worthy of respect. you don't need to have the "right words" all the time to deserve support. remember that you are not alone <3
take it from me, there is strength in leaving situations that don’t serve you anymore. not only that but there’s courage and bravery as well. i have stayed in situations for far too long because i was afraid to leave and let me tell you there is so much strength in leaving ❤️ hugs to all of you ♡

i think often times when people do awful things to us we wonder "i just don't understand how they could do that". and that's the whole point, what a blessing it is to not understand how someone could do something awful. it's a good thing to not understand because that means we would never do that and that is the underlying lesson <3

as we learn in therapy and counselling, it's important to focus on gratitude so here's 3 things im grateful for: 1. im grateful for all the amazing angels i've met because of this site. you all have made my experience something so sweet and i truly can't thank you all enough 2. i'm grateful to have a job that helps me pay my bills 3. i'm grateful to have a roof over my head, food to eat and a warm bed to sleep in <3 hugs ya'll <3

If you are laying in bed and thinking about all the things you could’ve done better. Please pour a little extra love on yourself and remind yourself that you are doing the best you can and that’s good enough <3

hi my loves so these are some of the affirmations i use to help when i am struggling so perhaps they can help all of you <3 - it's okay to want more and still appreciate where you are - you can care deeply without having all the answers - we are all learning as we go and that's normal - you're doing better than you think you are :) - you are allowed to change your mind (as many times as you want) hugs you all so tight <3
1. peace doesn't come from thinking harder 2. you don't have to figure it all out today 3. resting, saying no, and stepping back doesn't make you lazy or a bad person. it makes you human <3 ps: it feels like another 2 blog post day today :)

i am often being referred to as "the queen of kindness" and that is a title i hold near and dear to my heart <3 but what not many people know is that i have struggled with mental health for almost 10 years. being positive and a light to those around me has come with years of experience, failure, learning and growing. please trust me when i say there is a light at the end of the tunnel so please don't give up <3 all my love <3

I was going to save this for tomorrow but I think we need this blog today instead. Us humans have something like 30-50,000 thoughts PER DAY. Remember that our thoughts are not facts, give yourself some grace if you are being hard on yourself. Treat your thoughts like a cloud, you can just observe them from a distance and watch them float past :) Peace and love ♡

if you wake up and only have 20% to give that day then you are actually giving 100% ❤️ p.s: these reminders are just as much for me as they are for anyone who may need it :) hugs everyone <3

something i learned over my 28 years of life is to give yourself the same compassion that you give to others. when you feel sad or down, give yourself that compassion just like you would to your friends <333 p.s: i think it's obvious but i can't go more than 3 days without making a blog post :')
