  • Gone are the Days…

    Gone are the days when we don’t believe good things will happen to us. Gone are the days when we don’t believe good things should come to us. Gone are the days when we don’t see the beauty in who we are. Gone are the days when we forget our own strength. Gone are the…

  • Reminders for the Year Ahead

    Do not let life and time just pass you by. Asking for help does not make you weak. Life will not always seem bad. Not everyone needs to know what is going on in your life. It is okay to let people go. Putting yourself first is not always selfish. You matter!

  • To the person going through a ‘life crisis’

    These are trying times. Life is hard. Life is really hard… Where do we go from here? What do we do now? Do we just wait and see how things will play out? What is our purpose? Do we even have a purpose? Right now, the whole world feels like it is on fire, and…

  • Boundaries

    Become aware of the things you will and will not accept, not only from others but from yourself.

  • You are Strong!

  • Dear 2020,

    We rang you in like any other year. We had our resolutions written down, we had our best outfits on, fireworks were going off; we had all the right ingredients to welcome you. We were eager, anxious, but we were ready for all the greatness the start of a new decade could bring. Sadly, none…

  • We need to talk…

    ‘You asked for it’. ‘You sure you didn’t lead him on?’ ‘You shouldn’t have been drinking anyway’. ‘Well you didn’t say no so…’ All too often, we see that statements and questions like these are thrown around and said, but let me ask you a question instead: if someone close to you was raped, perhaps…

  • A message from your ‘strong friends’

    Life is full of challenges and we all have our own issues and situations to deal with.  Everyone has their own coping mechanisms and that should always be respected and accepted. I am used to being there for other people and honestly, I like it.  I am glad that I can help you and others…

  • Is part-time adulting a thing?

    This blog post is me sharing my very real experience of what adulting has been like for me.  Our families, teachers and most of society tell us that university/college prepares us for ‘the real world’.  Sure, in some ways it does and there are experiences I went through during my time in university that taught…
