This is going to be worth it. All the eye opening self-discoveries, the many set-backs and frustrations. I have to keep reminding myself that this is going to lead me down the right path, that I just have to keep pushing through in order to achieve my goals. 

​

I want to be able to allow myself room for rest and refuelling, feeding my soul with all the activities I love. I want to pursue the hobbies that bring me joy and leave space to explore new ones. By the end of this, I aspire to have healthy vices to fall back on when I feel worn out and uninspired.

I've found that this is one sure-fire way to keep my mind in a positive bearing, rather than falling back into pessimistic tendencies. It's all too easy for me to give into failure and act as though there's nothing I can do to help myself. I need to build up my foundation of confidence and trust within myself so that I can persist through any hardships that I face on my pursuit. 

​

Not everything here will be focused directly on this journey, but also on the little pieces that fit together to form my daily routine. Sometimes I just need to be able to express my creativity and vent my frustrations in another way. I often get worn out from talking about heavy emotions, so I'm allowing myself this reprieve to recalibrate my mind and value the importance of downtime. 

What I hope you can discover within my creations is the courage to step forward and take charge of your life. A long-standing goal of mine has been to escape from my anxiety and not let it have power over me. I've been working through a lot of emotional burdens and using many outlets to free them. While not all are healthy, I'll share them with you anyway. I think there's a lot to learn from failure, as they can often pinpoint exactly where you need to grow and highlight hidden trauma you didn't know was still lingering. 

​

I welcome you to my world, to all the imperfections and raw truth of my soul. I am certain that this experience will be invaluable to me, and I truly wish the same for you. Thank you for being here.
