Faces of Mental Health - My Last 6 Months

I think to say this last 6 months has been a rollercoaster would be an understatement. I’ve gone through grief. Divorce before the age of 30. Self discovery. Exploration of parts of me that i’ve never tapped into. I’ve drank too much and smoked (for the first time in my life) and eaten ALL the things.

I’ve also been more vulnerable than ever, starting a mental health podcast. I’ve been super successful in growing my business, adding new clients and getting more creative with my time. I’ve also fucked up a lot and learnt my limits. I made incredible new friends and created stronger bonds with existing friends. I’ve traveled a little. I’ve moved. I got my cats back (with Luna napping on my chest as we speak)!

Mostly? I’ve been managing my mental health in a new and unexplored territory. This is the first time I’ve been single since I was 13 years old. Literally. I relationship hopped so as an adult, I’ve never not been in a relationship. So I’m spending a lot of time reflecting and thinking about the life I want to create. I’ve been documenting EVERYTHING including MANY selfies! Taking pictures was so much easier than writing in the moment. I tried so many times to get my feelings down on paper…I just wasn’t ready.

So below are a few of the photos I want to keep in here, in my vault, as a sub for a diary. Because the truth of it is that I’ve experienced every emotion there is.

Here’s to life not always being perfectly curated.
