Lately I have been struggling.  I have been trying so hard to not end up in the place I have been before.  But one day this past week, I was almost there again.  Instead of doing all of the things I have learned through my journey, I sulked.  I scared myself and allowed myself toContinue reading “My World Right Now”

I remember the first time I posted an Instagram picture. It was a quote from Marilyn Monroe. “Imperfect is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” After I posted that picture I immediately wanted to post another one and another and another. But my friends told me thatContinue reading “The World of Social Media”

The things I tell myself when I realize I am in a dark place: You got out of here once, you can do it again. People love you. Look at your legs, arms you have skin and bones for a reason. Love them. Love you. Put down your phone, it makes everything worse. Look upContinue reading “In My Head”

I tend to feel uncomfortable when I say I have a blog.  “Bloggers” are usually the people who have the perfect Instagram and look like they have their life together.  My friends always joke saying, “So Skyla when will you be selling tummy tea and only be taking pictures in front of white walls?”  BelieveContinue reading “Path of Self-love”

Anxiety stopped me from going and doing a lot of things growing up.  One of those things was going to camp.  Every summer growing up I would want to go with my friends to camp but every summer I would get too nervous.  I would sit at home sad for a week every summer waitingContinue reading “To the Young, To the living (VBYC)”

Since I have started this blog, many people ask me questions.  But the question I tend to get most often is, “How are you always so happy?”  That question either shocks me or confuses me.  I always answer with saying, “Believe me I am not.”  It is impossible for people to be constantly happy atContinue reading “Choose to Be Happy”

I have always tried to be my most authentic self.  Being real is the one thing I know I can do.  Yet growing up I would never show my sadness.  I just wanted to be my happy self.  Through this journey I have learned so much more than I could ever imagine.  Now it isContinue reading “(Trigger Warning) 13 Reasons Why”

We all want to be seen as someone in high school.  Whether it is the life of the party or the wallflower, we all have a certain way of living that makes us who we are.  But we all go through different phases of our lives.  Growing up, who I wanted to be was alwaysContinue reading “Phases of Life”

We as people live by time.  We are surrounded by the timing of every aspect of our entire lives.  So how do we not worry about the future?  Or get over the past? Being not focused on time seems pretty impossible.  For me, I constantly think of the future.  I get nervous about events thatContinue reading “El Condor Pasa”

Summer.  That word always made my shoulders immediately go down and my smile go higher.  This year has been the hardest year in my life so far.  I have wanted a break since school began.  Each school break I had, was no break at all.  I always blamed it on an occurance that happened.  WhichContinue reading “A Mental Cleanse”
