Instagram post 2154735126129557694_8598124549 Pumpkin spice up your life - I like that pun a latte. I cant be-leaf you don't like my fall puns. But I understand I can be acorn-y person sometimes. - But in all seriousness, I love this time of year. Feeling a little bit of chilliness in the air, walking through crunchy leaves, and knowing that change is coming soon. - Fall feels like a transitional season, summer to winter. Recently in my life it feels like I've been in a transitional season, too. I've been feeling restless and eager to get my life figured out already. - Is your life in a state of autumn? Things changing, things ending, transitioning between what was and what will be? - Here's to feeling comfortable in the uncertain and learning to be patient with ourselves.
Instagram post 2151677207133741114_8598124549 Happy #worldmentalhealthday • This years theme for #wmhday2019 is Suicide Prevention. @who is leading a campaign for "40 seconds of action." • Let's work together to prevent suicide. Here are 4 ways you can do your part in preventing suicide in 40 seconds. • • Organizations that are making a difference in suicide prevention: @jedfoundation @childrenssafetynet @trevorproject @savevoicesofedu @crisistextline @wmhday
Instagram post 2140747406789132023_8598124549 "Whatever you're feeling right now, there's a mathematical certainty that someone else is feeling that exact same way. This isnt to say you're not special, this is to say thank god you're not special." - Neil Hilborn • Probably one of my all time favorite quotes. • What's your favorite quote? • • • • • • • • #selfgrowth #wordstoliveby #calmversation #youarenotalone #mentalhealthblogger #denverblogger #joyseeker #mentalwellness #personalgrowth #honestsocialmedia
Instagram post 2133128139528894854_8598124549 Felt cute, might over-analyze-every-detail-and-ultimately-regret-posting later • I'm not usually a selfie person. As someone who has struggled with her fair share of insecurities, I'm not the type of person to be like "hey, look at my face." • But as my confidence and self-esteem has grown these past couple years, I look at photos like these as small victories. • It's evidence of the self-acceptance and self-love I've finally began building for myself. • I don't think selfies are vain or superficial, I think they're a form of appreciation for yourself and your growth.
Instagram post 2129943889564481270_8598124549 It's World Suicide Prevention Day. - This isnt the easiest topic to talk about. I think we've all known someone who has taken their own life. I've had several family members who have committed suicide and I've had friends who have gone towards that route. - It's so disheartening to feel like there's nothing you can do about it. The stigma around mental health and the inaccessibility of therapy in the U.S. makes this issue even harder to prevent. - I know for those experiencing suicidal thoughts, it can be difficult to take the first step towards addressing your problems. - Please understand: You are not selfish for seeking help. No one will judge you for seeking help. It doesn't make you any less of a person for seeking help. - Call National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text HOME to the Crisis Text Line at 741741. - - - - - #worldsuicidepreventionday #nationalsuicidepreventionweek #worldsuicidepreventionmonth #nationalsuicidepreventionmonth #nationalsuicidepreventionday #endthestigma #youmatter #nationalsuicidepreventionlifeline #mentalhealthmatters #itsokaytonotbeokay #suicideawareness #weneedyou #youareloved #preventsuicide #depressionsupport #talktosomeone
Instagram post 2125790436181230412_8598124549 Confessions of a recovering people-pleaser. - Any other people pleasers here? I'm the type of person who used to spend all my time being concerned about acting a certain way or saying the right thing to make people like me. - Not sure where the turning point was, but at some point it occured to me that I was wasting my time. - Not to sound morbid, but we've got to remember that we have a limited time here on this Earth so we might as well live how we want. - It still takes effort for me to resist seeking validation from others, but the more I focus inwardly and trust who I am, the easier it gets.
Instagram post 2116971685554057876_8598124549 Let's get real about insecurities for a sec. - I hate 95% of photos of myself. - At first glance, I already noticed six things I didnt like about this photo. My arms, my hair, my nose to name a few. - I'm constantly trying to unlearn all the self-hatred and self-doubt I've dealt with for years. - Social media doesnt make it much easier. With the bombardment of picture-perfect posts, I cant help but compare myself to the thousands of gorgeous women I see online. - But instead of focusing on the flaws, I'm trying to focus on authenticity. - This photo may not be flattering, but I know I was genuinely happy when this photo was taken. I was laughing with someone I love and for a moment I wasnt thinking about my insecurities. - Take this as a reminder that authenticity is always beautiful, on screen or not. - - How do you feel about photos of yourself? How have you learned to overcome your insecurities?
Instagram post 2099769992693156789_8598124549 My reaction when I graduated college and realized no one in the real world actually knows what they're doing. - Seriously, most adults I've spent years looking up to are just as clueless as I am. - We're all kinda just fumbling around, trying the best we can. Making it up as we go along. - So if you're feeling lost and confused or struggling with your own quarter-life crisis, relax, you are not alone.
Instagram post 2094420689913221582_8598124549 Be patient with yourself. - One of my favorite quotes (I hate that I dont know who its from) - A reminder that youre allowed to have bad days, youre allowed to fall back into bad habits or screw up. - Growth takes time.
