Confidence

Hello everyone! I wanted to talk about confidence as an overall topic. I've had many issues with my overall confidence from a very young age. And till this point i still struggle with a couple of stuff but i'm honestly a lot better now at accepting myself for who i am.  I've dealt with a lot of comparison in my life and a lot of it had to do with my family.. mostly my mom for comparing me to other girls.. and i know she does it out of love but most of what she said did not please me. I had a lot of problems with my own self esteem and how i viewed myself, i always thought i could be skinnier, have a nicer body overall like have nice boobs and have a nice ass. I've compared myself to friends and how their lives are going, wishing that i could be them for different reasons and all of this was just soooo unhealthy for me to do to myself.. can you imagine living a life where you really don't like your own self for what you are? I look back at everything i com

A Graphic Novel Review: Last Things

I wanted to make posts on graphic novels that i read, i buy graphic novels seasonally because i'm limiting myself on that amount of graphic novels i buy. I love graphic novels and if i had the money to afford tons and tons of it then i would get it, but by limiting myself to 4 graphic novels a year it cuts it down a bit. This graphic novel was for summer and i read it probably in 3 weeks because i took time with it. I brought it to school and sometimes when i had free time i would read a couple of pages.  This book i think costed around $16.. i'm going to leave the link here if anyone would like to purchase it as well...  Last Things   So this graphic novel is actually based on a true story hence why it says a graphic memoir on the bottom left side. The story is about a family and the struggles within a family relationship when Marissa finds out that her husband Harvey is diagnosed with ALS.. and from there it becomes a spiral going downwards in all aspects of thei

How ASMR Helps With My Anxiety

Hello everyone, i wanted to talk about asmr and what it is and how it's helped me with my anxiety. First i'll explain what asmr is and why it's a thing. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, and what it does or what it helps achieve is this overall tingly sensation that can happen in the scalp area and can move anywhere like down the spine as well. For me i like to think of it as mental goosebumps. You know when you get goosebumps that sensation that you feel along with seeing your hairs stand up, that could be a similarity as to what tingles are. Not everyone experiences the sensation and people often find asmr weird because i think it's misunderstood as a fetish. For me i personally view it as a relaxing tool and use it for my anxiety... like anything else that may soothe you these videos tend to soothe me, they often are spoken in whispers or a soft tone of voice.. nothing super loud and people do an arrangement of sounds that may sound p

My Skincare Routine

Happy Father's day to all the wonderful fathers out there, i thought of posting this post for next week but i honestly have been having such a great feeling about this blog since my first post that i wanted to post soon again. Here is my face first thing in the morning, i have my hair in bun that's usually how i have it when i go to sleep because my hair gets easily tangled so it's easier for me to just put it up and out of the way from my face. I have this old raggedy shirt from relay for life which i got one day while visiting my cousin in san diego, we went and did a relay in honor of her friend. I wear comfy clothes while i go to sleep, i don't really make an effort to look cute. But as you can see from the picture my face is doing pretty well right now and i'm really happy with how my skin is doing so far. I've been interested in skin care since middle school because i had a hard time with acne once i started hitting puberty, and that's pretty typic

Overcoming Self Harm *Trigger Warning*

Before I begin to talk about everything that's happened with me lately i want to put this up in case anyone who is reading this needs to talk to someone... National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 . I'm not exactly sure where to start with this post. I have a lot of racing thoughts as to what exactly i want to say. I'll start off by stating my age, i'm currently 20 i will be turning 21 in august. I'm very young, i'm aware of it but it doesn't mean my emotions and or feelings are not credible to this topic because i've dealt with a lot of shit from my childhood up until now and experiences always give a lasting impression to me at least of how you can shape yourself as a better person.. what do these experiences give you? whether it's bad or good.. do you make something out of it? I'm still trying to process that within myself. I have had a traumatic event happen in my life when i was very young... and till this date it is my bi
