What I Would Tell My Younger Self

Image result for advice to my younger self art

Hello everyone, i've always been fascinated with the idea of what i would possibly tell my younger self if i had the choice to do so. I've realized that there's a lot i would want to say for obvious reasons like the fact that i was sexually abused and kept it in for so long, i would've liked to express that at an earlier time if i could've because keeping something like this from anybody was really damaging for me and i can't really do anything about it now but bring more awareness to it and work on myself as an individual. There's other lessons i'd like to teach to my younger self like having your first heartbreak will suck and it'll take a lot of energy out of you and make you feel like you were the reason as to why it all happened, but you should never doubt yourself as a person, in the relationship i grew and he didn't want to grow with me so there's nothing that i did wrong. Even though we had arguments here and there, i did the best of my ability to be strong for both of us and try to work things out but it never really worked out. And it's okay, you have to learn to grow from this and know what to expect in terms of yourself and your actions for the next relationship to come, i now know my own worth as a person and know that there's certain things that i shouldn't let be passed on. It's okay to take care of yourself.. don't feel as though you have to take care of everyone and their feelings just because they're your friends.. you love your friends but sometimes you just have to really get into a mindset of looking after your self and your mental health... that's the most important aspect. It would've been great if you could go to therapy sooner but just know when you do go to therapy that it's nerve wrecking and its something you've never been familiar with but you're going to love what happens when you do seek help, you're going to love the person you are because you're now taking care of yourself and putting in the time and effort to change and to grow as a young adult with many issues that you've dealt with in the past.

You might not like how you've coped with stuff before or you might hate how you look like right now or you might be suicidal.. but you'll grow so much and love yourself a lot more. You'll end up loving the girl you end up choosing to be and in result you'll be happier in life because of it.

JOURNAL PROMPT #1: WHAT IS ONE CONSISTENT PRACTICE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THROUGH THIS QUARANTINE?

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a new project in this time that I believe would help the most to reach others with. I want to make my own journal prompts for people to view and to hopefully write to. I would love to see any responses if anyone feels comfortable to share, there is no pressure at all, just love. I've always had a comfort in writing and the connectedness I feel when I write something not only for others to view by for myself to reflect on. I hope that throughout these weekly journal prompts it will ease a bit of the quarantine tension and unite us through writing. With each journal prompt I make I will be responding to my own prompt to give others a view of what I personally think at the time. My Response: The one consistent practice that I've been trying to do is at least write once a day. Whether that be in my planner or if I just write out a whole letter to someone to give later on. I want to be able to keep my spirits high by at least writin...

Eighth Grade Movie Review: No Spoilers

I watched this movie with my friend not too long ago and i didn't know what my expectations were for the movie but i just went with it and i'm really glad i did because this was such an amazing movie. First off i'm familiar with the director Bo Burnham, i've loved both of his comedy specials that he's had on netflix and i still till this day every so often go back and want to watch them over again. I like his sense of humor, it's daunting and hilarious and that's what i felt about this movie. Eighth grade in real life i would say would be close to what Kayla has to deal with, in terms of self discovery and confidence. Eighth grade for me was not a great time, i wanted to fit into a lot of crowds even though really i was an outsider at heart, i was never cool in any of grades of school, i hung out mostly with boys because girls would often make fun of me and just not want to hang out with me at all so i had to make new friends and the boys just really ...

Firewatch Game Review

Firewatch was phenomenal. So Firewatch is a first person mystery adventure game and you play as Henry and explore a lookout area by quests given by Delilah who is your supervisor.. things get interesting when weird experiences start happening around you. For me this game was able to make me feel like all the stress i had went away, because i focused my time on literally escaping within this game and it felt therapeutic. The colors and scenery of this game were incredible and made it that more enjoyable for me. I really recommend this to anyone, it's easy enough to play and understand once you get used to using a map in the game. It's story driven so it feels very intimate overall. I don't want to give too much away of what this game is because if someone would like to experience this for themselves i would encourage them to do so because playing this game i think will give you a new perspective of certain issues in relationships... that's all i want to say for no...
