this week i am showing up despite, here to chat with you about some of the less pretty parts of healing, trauma recovery, & learning to understand (and have empathy for) the beast that lives rent-free inside your brain. it is easy to fall victim to some of the false or flippant narratives that social media spreads about mental health or what "decorated" healing looks like, so i am here to remind you that you are seen, heard, and felt, even if your mental health looks, smells, & acts like a real monster at times. check in with yourself, truly, and know that you are safe to admit that maybe you are not okay, because you are surely not the only one. i love you so much. really.
