Surviving the holidays

This life, this earthly experience, is really fucking hard and unfair. We all have to grind to navigate the obstacles that are thrown at us. I used to think life was full of wonder, but lately my mind has been clouded by doubt and heartache. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, but all […]

Mental health updates

Oooh, what a cryptic headline! What could he mean? Who is he now? What has changed? Not much, I’m just happy. I have the Lord to thank, my son, my friends, ashwaganda vitamins, a consistent gym routine, a supportive group chat where I can vent my mental health frustrations to, proper diet. I don’t have […]

All of a sudden, I was happy.

Nearly all of my gym sessions are therapy in a way. I hate when people say that about things but what I mean is I am often very focused at the gym. I seldom get acknowledged, and I prefer it that way because I’m dealing with mental battles while I’m there. I go there to […]

Space for healing

Received a lovely reminder this week that healing is not linear. It was a few minor triggers but unfortunately it was hell for a few moments within my mind, a drastic decrease compared to 6 months ago however thank God.
