You are the only you. It's been said many times in many ways, but I'm going to say it again: there is no one else who is better at being you. When you were born, someone held you in their arms and thought "look at this perfect little baby." And you are perfect, you are … Continue reading Uniquely You

The One Where I’m Having a Great Week
I'm realizing I should have called this series "Letters to Myself," but now it feels too late to change it. Oh well, missed opportunity. If you are not myself, this is a regular introspective series on my blog I started to reflect on the internal and external happenings in my life while on exchange last … Continue reading The One Where I’m Having a Great Week
200 Days of Self Love
I've spent a fair few blog posts documenting my troubles with self love, which led to the decision last Valentine's Day to try an exercise called 365 Days of Self Love. It mostly is what it sounds like, unless you have a very dirty mind about everything: every night I write down in my journal one … Continue reading 200 Days of Self Love

Kitties & Cancer
Since this blog gets a lot of my stream-of-consciousness words, here's a video that's just that. My emotional ramblings after finding out my cat is dying of cancer. It's silly, it's so so minute in the grand scheme of the world or even my life. Still, Kirby's been a part of over half of my life, and … Continue reading Kitties & Cancer

Anyway, a few months ago I made a couple of posts relating to self love and specifically my lack of it.

To My Sixteen Year Old Self
An open and honest letter to myself five years in the past. Do you have anything you wish you could tell a past you, even if just to warn them for what was to come?
Letters From Exchange: The One Where I Want to Get Better
So, that last post was a bit of a downer, eh? (there's that time spent in Canada showing through). Yeah, I wrote it and fell into a deep spiral of self hate that I had to sleep off. I hardly ate that day, but then I got so weak that I had to get McDonald's … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The One Where I Want to Get Better
Self Love
Let's get one thing clear: I think I'm awesome, and worth taking care of. But to be perfectly honest, I don't really love myself. I want to, I really, really do. But I don't yet. I've always grown up hearing about how girls from my generation have a lot of pressure to feel thin and … Continue reading Self Love
Letters From Exchange: The First One
I'm going to preface this for any readers that, as I often enjoy using this blog as a diary of sorts, I will now continue to do so in letters to myself entitled "Letters from Exchange" (I suppose that title will have to change when I'm no longer on exchange, but I can't be bothered … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The First One
