Big Magic Book Review

Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert was such a great book, its a self help book that makes you really branch out from your comfort zone. This book was so rewarding to me, it really made me branch out and find things that i love to do and just to create with no boundary and to create with no fear as well. It's scary to want to do something creative on your own, doing the short story was scary to me because i was afraid of possibly the judgements that could be made from it but this book is more than a book to me to be honest, it's been a life lesson and a quote to live by, just create to create and don't be afraid to do anything that you really aspire to do. It's a hard process to go through, wanting to create something without constant questions or fears related to it, but you have to at some point live freely and live with love, and for me that's been the hardest thing of all because i carry so much weight on myself because of my anxiety so i end up doubting a lot of the skills that i have but reading this book just really helped me get rid of those menacing thoughts and it let me hone in on projects that i see myself enjoying and actually taking pride in. I recommend this book to anyone who really wants to live a more freeing life, especially if anyone is in a slump right now, i think this book is very inspiring and motivating.

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...

Why I Want to Become a Substance Abuse Counselor

So i never really have given much depth as to what i wanted to do in terms as a life goal of mine. If everything in life goes well for me i'd like to become a substance abuse counselor and although this image says drugs, substance abuse could also be alcohol and different forms of substance abuse could also include other addictions like eating. Tonight i want to share why exactly i want to become a substance abuse counselor and what led me to this path. My older brother is actually an alcoholic and most of my life i think i just ignored that fact, i didn't have much of a reaction as to how i felt about it because i would often be blind-sighted of what was happening around me, even though i'm sure i could pick up on cues and see the patterns that were happening, i chose to ignore them instead. As i got older it was more prevalent and it was hard to ignore because often times that was all that was talked about in family conversations. This is sort of an on going battle, ...

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...
