Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
The Best Version of Myself
Just like a wound that heals itself, so will you. In our weakness, there is strength. The same strength that endured the pain for us to be born. In my tears, there is happiness. There will be a time to cry and there will be a time to laugh. My tears won’t be a sign of weakness but, an expression of hope, loss, joy and sadness.

Five (Real) Self-Care Tips
Depression is real. For those of us who struggle with it, it's not something we can just get over. We can't just force a smile and feel better. We can't just cheer up. I hate when someone tells me, "It's going to be okay" or "Just stay positive." It's not that simple, and it's not something you can truly understand unless you experience it for yourself.

Who Says I'm Not Good Enough? Part 2
When I sat down to write part 2 of this series I’ve created, exploring the “not good enough” mantra I’ve struggled with most of my life, I was surprised to see how big it quickly grew. This post ballooned up to over 2000 words before I knew it, and the more I wrote, the more I thought of to write. (As a result, I’ve split it into even more segments, to keep it the size of a nice, easy read.)

Why Getting to Know Yourself Should Be a Top Priority in Life
The universe we live in is really freaking big... I want you to imagine for a moment just how big it is... No, really, take a moment here to just take in how enormously big the universe really is...

Life Choices
You only get one life to live. I believe it's important to become the best version of yourself. No one is perfect but you should want to try to be a good person. I have been having a hard time lately trying to find this version of myself. My journey has been a long road but I refuse to give up.

The Power of Positivity
I’ve always been the type of person to see the bright side of things. As a child I grew up in a home where I basically had to raise myself. This taught me a lot about life. One of the most important things that I’ve learned is that; No matter how bad the situation may seem, it can always get worse. As cliche as it sounds, this mentality saved me a lot of trouble. I’ve learned that the time we spend complaining and worrying about what could happen next, could be better spent on things that actually matter and are happening now. I’ve observed people from all walks of life put so much energy into things that can’t be prevented. Things that can’t be changed.

Why You’re Stuck
Now let me specify here who I’m talking about. To some degree, everybody gets a bit lost in their life and hopefully manages to find their way back. But here, here I am talking about the late teens/twenty somethings working part-time, no quite sure what they want to do with their lives and floating about from one job to the next getting enough money that month to pay a bill, rent to the parents, and a bit of spare money for drinking and having fun.

30 Journal Entries to Self Discovery - Day 30!
Hello everyone. I am horribly sad to announce that this is our last day on our self-discovery journal. I am so happy at all of the weird writing conversations I have had with all of you. I've had an outstanding time writing with all of you and an even better time discussing the questions with you all. Thank you again, for not being judgmental in my journal entries. They were horribly personal and very hard to write at times, but you were all so supportive. Thank you for that. In this messed up world it's hard to post things on the internet that don't get brought down by mean comments. You are all amazingly sweet people and I hope you all keep writing. Forever. Even if you never publish anything (which, after talking to you, I think a lot of you will) keep writing. This journey has been amazing and I will write more about how amazing it is in my reflection. Here is the final quote: "A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has talent, or because everything she does is golden. A writer is a writer because, even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway." - Junot Diaz
