maybe if you read that book you’ve been procrastinating. maybe if you don’t take everything so seriously. spill your feelings on pages instead of your skin. maybe if you go on a walk in the snow. then cook yourself a warm, nourishing meal. maybe if you spend time with family/friends instead of staying home in misery. start that hobby you’ve been thinking about. maybe if you’re a little easier on yourself. stretch your body into a pretzel. maybe if you finally realize that you deserve all the happiness in the world. maybe the world will feel a little lighter. x

Before the day ends, I wanted to post this. Please take care of yourselves. Get help if needed. Talk to someone you feel comfortable with. And most importantly, be kind to yourself. Keep shining! 🥰✨

Another fun fact: I don't cheer for Maple Leafs but this picture is important reminder for all of us 💙

Mental health has always been something I've tried to improve. There are a lot of days when I lose the battles against my mental illnesses. A lot of days where getting out of bed is more than a chore. When it takes every fiber of your being to do the minimum for yourself, it makes you feel worse about yourself. I could go on to tell you about the sleepless nights, the nights when I finally do get to fall asleep but then am awoken by horrific nightmares because of PTSD. Most of you understand Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia, eating disorders, PTSD, and the various other illnesses that make life that much harder, but you need to know that you're not alone, as lonely as this feels. Please know, if you ever want to talk, I am doing my best to be around. I'm always a message away. We can get through this together. I love you all, no matter if we have had fall outs, or arguments. I wish you all the best during these very hard and trying times. Please reach out, you're never a burden. ❤ #bellletstalk #mentalhealth #covid_19 #iloveyou #together https://www.instagram.com/p/CKm_y6GJBihWn2N445DxSd1OWGHbaEfpo8ofvE0/?igshid=11gxun3swbo64

I’m usually much more active online, but this week has been rough and I can barely bring myself to do anything besides the very bare minimum at work, I’ve been so low. I have to remind myself that it’s okay to not be okay, and that this year is unlike any other year, mostly because of that global pandemic looming over us all. To the people that have sent me those asks like “if you receive this you make someone happy”, or “let’s spread kindness” - I can’t tell you how much they meant. I know I’m new and a lot of you don’t know much about me, but it really did mean a lot. So thank you for making a stranger on the internet a bit happier during a rough week. 💙
