Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: I am 23 years old, graduated highschool in 2017. I currently have 9 adorable cats that spice up my everyday life. I like to draw, do little diy decor type of things and journal. I’ve went through a lot of drastic changes throughout the last couple years, now I’m ttying to relearn who I am.

What Inspires You Every day? : It may sound weird, but my cats kinda inspire me the most recently (they’re kinda the only living things I’m around haha). They make me want to try to be adventurous and spontaneous to try to break out of a dull cycle.

What is some words of wisdom you live by?: Minutes have seconds.
It’s really simple, but it’s sooo easy to forget and feel like everythings happening at once or you don’t have enough time in the moment. I’d tell myself this every day when I walked to school and would hear the bell ring even though I was still down the street. I live by this to help ease a lot of my anxieties to this day

What is your ultimate goal in life? : To make myself proud of who I’m trying to become and what I’ve done. In the end, I just want to be happy and feel like the struggling I’ve been through isn’t all that my life had to offer.

How have you been during the pandemic and how has it affected you? : 2020 was the absolute worst year of my life and the pandemic certainly did not help my situation. I was in such a toxic ans abusive environment at the time and found myself stranded having to stay there because i couldn’t go anywhere or go home because of many risks including covid. The pandemic stripped away a few 24 hour places that i wish i couldve been at instead of sitting in a parkinglot alone and in the dark. It was a helpless situation all around

What is a message you would like to give others? : If something or someone is constantly tearing you apart, it feels like your mind is always at wits end and you’re just so tired all the time… Just know, it’s okay to let them go if you can do so safely. You are so much stronger and more capable than you may think, nobody deserves to lose themselves to build someone else up.

What else would you like to tell others about you or your life?: That though I may have done questionable things, I’m doing my best with every day forward.
It’s not easy for me to see things or options that other people would, a lot of the time I didn’t even know some things were even options. Growth takes a lot more time than I expected to say the least haha
