Sharing my healing journey, in hopes that others might feel less alone

About
I am an early childhood teacher and aspiring writer. I am passionate about advocating for mental health, and sharing my own personal journey with recovery. I also have a love for literature, art, and travel.
I am here to be honest about the reality of living with chronic mental illness, and to talk about ways we can still slowly keep moving forward. How we can hold space for several truths at once. How there does not need to be a magical, pivotal moment where your life completely turns around. How healing is not linear, and how we can celebrate the small wins and practice gratitude for even the little things. How steps add up to miles over time, and how self-compassion can be one of the most powerful tools in our healing process.
Writing is what has helped me (and continues to help me) find my voice in dark times. I hope that you find something of value to you here, and that you will know that you are not alone in whatever heaviness you have been carrying. You have a place here so I hope you will stay awhile, and I hope these words might be able give you a voice as well.
