Mental health is not something that should be taken lightly. If you know someone who has ever threatened to harm themselves or take their own life, don't shrug it off, don't ignore it, don't take it as impossible, more importantly don't leave that person alone. I believe that with every su***de or self inflicted death committed, we failed that person. More often than not, there are always warning signs that people miss or don't take seriously - something that they said or did that went unnoticed. Usually by the time we realise what they were trying to tell us, it's too late and we're left to mourn them. It is my goal not to fail anyone else. Everytime I hear or read of another case, it saddens me to my core and I can't shake it for a while because I feel like we let them down. How long do we have to fail them before we get it right? On behalf of all of us, I'm sorry.

You never know what someone might be facing in private.

No matter how happy they seem, how loud their laughter is, or how bright their smile appears, they could still be experiencing deep emotional pain.

So, be kind. Even if others choose not to be.

I know it's been a minute since I've posted on here... actually the last time I did was the day my life changed... the day I heard those dreaded words... the day where not a lot made sense to me anymore. I just had nothing to say to inspire, to motivate, to help. Truth be told, it was mainly because I was in need of inspiration, motivation and help myself. It took a while to find these things, but I just wanted to say I'm still here.
Helping people is still my first love and if anyone needs someone, I am here.... to listen, to hold your hand, to be there. I know what it feels like to be in that position so this is why I started this page and do this. Feel free to reach out via msg or email and let's make this journey a bearable one together.

I know we're into the Christmas season now. Whilst this time can be filled with so much joy for some, for others, it can be really difficult; a reminder of painful memories, of loved ones who have gone, past hurts and disappointments. Let us try to hold space for these people in our minds and hearts, to let them know they are not alone.

If this is you this season and you're having a rough time, feel free to reach out. I am here for you to listen, to hold your hand through the dark times or to sit with you until the season is over and a new season begins.

There are good people in the world!

A broken heart is not something easy to come back from. It hurts and it aches and it pains. At times, you can feel so sick. Eating is the hardest thing in the world to do, so you get smaller (for some people). Inside you feel so small and nothing makes any sense anymore. You just live because you have to. You have to go on because life keeps going on, it waits for no one. You wait now with bated breath to see what your future will bring. And you hold on to the only hope that you know, the only One who will not let you down, will not leave you, who works all things out for your good. Time is the main healer but time takes time. There is no getting around the process that you must go through to come out on the other end. It is tough and hard and it sucks. But everyday you complete is another day closer to you being healed, whole and happy again. You can't give up on yourself because of what someone else did. Instead you love yourself even harder, be even kinder and even more patient and gentler. One day, you pray that it will all be ok.
