Inside an Academic Mind

Thank you so much. Kind words are always needed and greatly appreciated ❤️

7.21.16 // Another late spread!! This month has been really eye opening and equally as hard as the last two. But I feel like I'm getting somewhere. I'm petitioning for reinstatement due to my diagnosis and mental health, which I'm hopeful I'll get approval for. I'm also up for a promotion at work despite me being with the company for only a month. Things are looking up and I'm ready to step out of the darkness and feel the sun on my face again. (I also free handed everything on this spread; feels good to see my creative growth)

7.6.2016 // I am now one year closer to 30 and I’m realizing the glaring holes in my personal life. I got the news that I've been kicked out of my university temporarily due to poor academic standing this last year, and I've realized a lot of complexes while trying to deal with this awful break up. I guess heartbreak greeted me at the right time, because i now find myself extremely motivated to heal and grow independently, clawing to get out of this deep hole I’ve placed myself in after a string of poor decisions and destructive behavior. Here’s to another year around the sun, and the hope to be a healthier person when 27 knocks on my door. (one day I’ll post my spreads on time i swear)

6.22.16 // I'm trying this thing where I doodle images that I would normally print out and glue into my journal. I'm absolutely terrible but I'm happy to be putting energy into something again. It really helps to cope with the debilitating heartbreak I've been perpetually experiencing for over a month now. I hope you all are well 💙

omg stop it!!! you’re too sweet to me. thank you!! :3 

6.2.16 // It’s been an incredibly rough couple of weeks. My relationship with an incredible man was abruptly ended over events and circumstances outside of my control, sending me into a very deep and long lasting depressive state--of which I have yet to crawl out of. This journal spread is a mess;  I wasn’t planning on posting it, but it signifies my last week with a man whom I will love forever. I know this isn’t completely academic or inspiring in any way, I just needed to post this somewhere.
