For the rest of the day, I did nothing. I had little appetite, so I took out some popcorn and a pack of cold milk. Settled in my already made bed, turned on the TV, chose a random show and turned down the volume so my speakers could keep playing my sad playlist and encourage my broken self-esteem and swollen crying eyes. I just kept snacking and then slipped into my usual imaginative world were things were perfect and easy. I was loved, successful and more confident. I didn't need a therapist or mental health medication. I was fine, I had control over my life, schedule, routine and priorities. I saw the present me in a beautiful world of endless opportunities, no setbacks like I have in my real world. I saw my future as clear as glass and I took proud steps knowing I'll make it there. I said my thoughts out loud "I wanna be a great one".

One blink and I was back to earth. It was weighing on me the need to get a therapist. I had always told myself I was my own therapist and I tried sometimes but this time I didn't get what was happening. I tried so hard in the past few weeks to control self harming and attempting suicide. I picked up my phone, scrolling through the web all in search of a therapist. I laughed, I knew I couldn't afford it but maybe if I spoke to someone they would help me find one. No, I couldn't. I won't be able to face anyone and reveal all I've been through and why I need a therapist. I felt ashamed and self hate and doubt creeped in.

•HOW TO GET BACK ON TRACK• (Part 5) Creating Gentle Routines

 LIFESTYLE SERIES When life feels messy, unpredictable, or overwhelming, the thought of getting back on track can feel like climbing a mountain. We often assume it means dramatic changes, strict schedules, and an overnight transformation but  in reality, the way back is often found in something much smaller; gentle routines. Unlike rigid timetables that demand perfection, gentle routines create a rhythm for your days. They’re flexible, forgiving, and kind, just like the person you’re gradually becoming. Why Gentle Routines Work They remove decision fatigue. You don’t have to overthink what to do next. They bring stability. Even on hard days, you know there’s an anchor to hold onto. They build momentum slowly. One small act done daily grows into consistent progress overtime. They nurture instead of pressure. Gentle routines allow room for grace when life isn’t perfect. It makes everything so much easier!!! Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Gentle Routines 1. Start W...

THE JOURNEY OF GOALS(PART 3)

  RELATABLE LIFE SERIES Re-Loving the Hobbies I Did as a Child There’s something sacred about the things we loved as children.  Before the world told us what we should be, before pressure shaped our interests, before expectations grew heavier than joy, we had hobbies. Pure, unfiltered and soul-hugging hobbies. I recently began the journey of revisiting mine an d it’s been healing in ways I never expected. I took a few minutes to sit in the memories of what used to be, what I used to love and how it made me feel. I tried to make out the reasons I lost interest or what made me stop these hobbies completely, but I couldn’t really give myself an answer at that point in time. The Forgotten Joys As a child, I would spend hours drawing characters from cartoons, writing short stories in worn-out notebooks, and dancing alone in my room to songs I barely understood. I wasn’t doing it for validation, likes, or money, I just… loved doing it.  But somewhere along the way, those simple...
