Drink water, make some tea or coffee, get out your journal, book, or workbook and let's spend 15 minutes reading or Journaling.
Let's get you on the right track!

Gosh. A lot of us are running, running, running. And we even PREFER the pain that an addiction causes us, to actually feeling our trauma and our pain. Sometimes it is just TOO MUCH.
I recommend not going through this alone. Sometimes repression really is the best thing, and keeps you functioning. But, maybe this year, make a goal to seek out a trauma informed therapist and very gently, START the journey of unpacking the ways trauma is still affecting you and your life.
You may think you are doing perfectly fine, but once you take a look, you will be ASTOUNDED by the ways trauma is controlling you!! In so many ways that you could never believe. So much of your thoughts, beliefs and actions are a direct result of trauma at a young age.
Another thing I'm on a deep dive on currently is Toxic Shame. Please do yourself a favor and listen/read things on toxic shame. So mang dots connected for me that I have never been able to connect.
If you have read this, comment Butterfly! 🦋
We are controlled by our subconscious minds..... our internalized scrips, beliefs, thought patterns, trauma, triggers, all from childhood (Or maybe a little bit of nature thrown in)...
And the only way to break out of that is to become self aware, look inwards, and challenge and question everything!
Become a sleuth, investigating deep into the innermost chasms of your own subconscious.
STOP operating on autopilot and reactivity, stop acting on your first impulses. Or if you do, question why....

My brother tried to break me but he failed and that is my one act of defiance.
This is the story of my brother who abused me verbally, sexually, and physically for 10 years, while EVERYONE turned their backs, my parents and siblings did nothing to stop it or protect me. And now, they pressure me to leave it in the past and "forgive", when I am the one who must live with the continued trauma and after affects of his actions.
"Tortured" and "tormented" are words that come to mind, and adequately describe what he put me through every single day.
There seems to be an uptick of people who have no idea who I am, what I stand for, and my background, and choose to fill in the blanks.
Anyway I hope you get something of value from this, even if it's just a video to fall asleep to haha!

It somehow makes the waiting a little less consuming. And makes my future feel more hopeful.
I notice this video and concept attracts a lot of Christians, but this isn't meant in any sort of christian way. There are romantics outside of Christianity

How I'm feeling at 25, what I was going through at 25, my thoughts, my things, my favorite places, my friends, my boyfriend at the time, who is still important to me.
All of this footage was taken and edited before our breakup, just after turning 26.
Hopefully it makes you feel things ;)
I 100% got this idea from @willdarbyshire !! All credit to him and his gorgeous, inspiring, artistic videos. (I think he is one of the very best creators on all of youtube.).
And I definitely put my own touch on my video and made it my own.

this is just a joke.
I'm frustrated with the comments but making it into comedy
a quick rant about something I'm passionate about and will cover more in depth in the coming months.
I wanted to make an artistic vlog of our recent trip to the Mountains of northern California.
This trip was no doubt one of the most memorable and beautiful moments in my life so far. I knew it was special and I tried to soak in every moment.
I almost couldn't go because I had a previous commitment, but the day the group was going to leave, I found out I could come after all.
To keep transparency and to fight the "highlight reel" trap ... I'll say, not caught on camera, was my complete emotional breakdown on the trip home. And a lot of internal battles brought on by interacting with all different people.
As in life, there's always hard things going on internally, behind the scenes. And I always try to be open about those struggles so I'm not part of the problem, only sharing a highlight reel.
Hope you get something out of this, even if it is simply 4 minutes of peace. ♡

I know I won't be this young again and I want documentation that I can look back on in the years ahead.
This video was inspired by a beautiful video made by one of my favorite youtubers, Will Darbyshire.
Here is his video youtu.be/Dwa2MBkmztc
music: Gently, Onwards from the youtube free audio library
This video is meant to be listened to rather than watched.
I love writing stories and I personally love how this video turned out. I loved reading it, editing the video, and I love listening to the video so I hope at least one or two of you enjoy it too!
SOOO to those of you who enjoy it and want to support me, here is my call to action: please leave a comment letting me know your thoughts, how it made you feel etc, and please feel free to watch it more than once, maybe use it to help you fall asleep. or share the video with someone :)
the inspiration for this story came to me one day as I was at my favorite coffee shops and I wondered what would I do if I rounded the corner and I came across this exact situation? so this story is an exploration of that "what if" idea.
