R U OK? Such a light question that deserves heavy attention. Mental illness, like any physical disease or injury, is a real thing. It's time to stop kicking it to the sidelines and treating it with a simple bandaid and actually start creating a safe space for those who are struggling to speak up.

Strange fact but I absolutely love the roof tiles in Kyoto 🤣🏯. Their neat arrangements and dark luminous coatings perfectly combine traditional culture with modern architecture. There's also something artistic in how they seamlessly blend together with the bare bone tree skeletons in winter 😍. (at Kyoto, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2OXpBOncBF/?igshid=1vtij36vfr3ws

Spring vibes = just when you think it's warming up and start wearing fewer layers, Mother Nature is like Nuh Uh Uh 💁‍♀️ and hits you with a temperature drop and then 🤒🤒🤒. But the flower colours make up for it 😁. . . . . . . . . #vsco #vscocam #tokyo #japan #东京 #moodforfloral #australianblogger #igerssydney #darlingescapes  #sydneytravelbloggers #japan_of_insta #flowers #flowers_daily #flowers_igers #tulips #flower #blogger #travelphotography #tokyojapan #wanderlust #travelgram #flowerstagram #discoverearth #nature #travel #flowerpower #travelblogger #spring (at Tokyo Disney Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Lpu0ZnG0-/?igshid=qog37pfhe9f4

This trip last year to Taiwan's mesmirising Sun Moon Lake marked the first time I travelled completely solo. Whilst on a boat on the lake, I saw the peak of this tower peeking over the mountains. And upon setting my eyes on it, I immediately set out to climb those mountains and reach the Ci En Pagoda. 🏯 The hike was short but steep and very empty compared to the rest of Sun Moon Lake, a tourist hotspot in Taiwan. I only saw one other person when I reached the tower itself. White pebbles that surrounded the tower resembled fields of snow and plum flowers were in full bloom. It was a painting that captured the exquisite beauty of the East. . . . . . . . . #vscocam #vsco #theimaged #expofilm #moodygrams #awakethesoul #traveltaiwan #ig_color #createexplore #pagoda #gramslayers #sunmoonlake #createcommune #folkgood #awesome_photographers #artofvisuals #lifeofadventure #mobilemag #roamtheplanet #way2ill #eclectic_shotz #flowers #fatalframes #hbouthere #heatercentral #scenery #beautifuldestinations (at 日月潭慈恩塔) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUpAwuntE1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bq6qdxb1zt38

2019 - one day or day one. You decide. 🌟 --- Despite being a somewhat confusing and challenging year, 2018 has definitely been a year of learning and reflecting. Having left the comfortable cradle of university, I spent the majority of the year worrying about what I wanted to do with my life (#quarterlifecrisis 😪). I had passions, but doubted whether they would be viable career options. I ventured into a job that was completely unrelated to my degree. I wanted to find the 'correct' path as soon as possible so that I could immediately start that journey. My uncertainty and confusion was rooted in this desire to set everything in stone. It was only until the closing end of the year where I discovered that you can't always plan your life out, despite what your parents say or what other people do. I learned that the world is not always black and white but actually made up of a whole spectrum of colours where sometimes, the best thing to do is to trust your own gut feel. I learned that what is right for others might not always be right for you, even if it may seem that way. And I learned that, despite the positive things some people say about thinking long-term, I need to stop trying to plan my next 30 years. Sometimes, it's better to concentrate on your small steps and just be ready to embrace the different surprises that life will throw at you. . . . . . . . . #vsco #vscocam #newyears #newyear #newyearsresolution #2019 #flatlay #flatlaysforever #illgrammers #createcommune #marble #blogger #modern #flatlays #jewellery #diary #planner #moment #inspiration #lifequotes #life #photooftheday #self-reflection #reflection (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsEm-fLlc-Z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15xg93x5i4p3v
