Becoming The Best Version of Myself
I know I write about this a lot and I talk about this a lot, but it is something that I truly believe is super important for everyone to keep in mind, and that topic is self-love and learning how to become the best version of yourself. This is something that we are not taught in school, and I’m sure that many of you can relate to me when I say that my parents never taught me about these type of things either. Don’t get me wrong, I love my parents very much and I am super appreciative of everything they have always done for me to this day, but if it is something that I wish they would have taught me more about is self-love and learning how to become the best version of myself. It has been a long and rough road, but I have loved it up to this day. I still am learning how to better myself to this day, and I feel like we all can still learn something new about ourselves no matter how much we think we know ourselves. I want to talk to you all about my experience and how I felt throughout the entire time I decided to make this big change for me, and I also hope to make a big enough impact to one of my readers where they decide to do this type of change for themselves as well.

Being Good Enough
While growing up, I struggled with self-love. As a matter of fact, I knew nothing about self-love. Both of my self-esteem and confidence were incredibly low. They were so low, you would think that they were buried at least six feet under. I did not feel like a person who was worthy of anything. I did not feel like I was good enough. For a very long time, I felt like a submissive, peasant living in a world of dominant kings and queens. My experiences of being bullied in my childhood and toxic relationships drove me to searching for love elsewhere – when the real love starts from within all along.

The Vole King
I am so hungry I'm beginning to see things I thought. I had been traveling along this road for days now and I could not be far from my destination, but the more I rattled on without food in my belly, the slower and weaker I had become. If it had been up to me I would have eaten well before I left the last town, but sadly, it was not up to me. It is often not up to me. That is why I left home in the first place. To travel to a place where it would be up to me; a veritable land of milk and honey. I had not been the only one. I had been with a group within a group. It was a migration. Many of us stopped in the last town for food and rest but we found the town was being overrun with illness. It was a vile, breath-stealing plague that seemed to sweep the land just as we had arrived. Like many, I fell ill quickly. My traveling companions, easy rest their souls, did not abandon me but stayed behind to care for me and soon fell ill themselves. Sadly, they both succumbed quickly. For whatever reason, I did not succumb, and when I could breathe again I found that many of the travelers had moved on, were ill, or dead.

The Joy of Being Creative
Self-care can be practiced in so many different ways; from meditation, yoga, to soaking in a hot bubble bath or going for long walks in nature. Everybody’s idea of relaxation and pleasure is different but the one form of self-care which I think so often gets overlooked is the joy and pleasure we get from being creative.

How I Knew Enough Was Enough
You know those ugly cries - the ones where you feel like you can barely breathe? When your whole body literally quakes? The ones where you wake up both of your parents because they think someone is legitimately being murdered? No? Okay. That one might just be me. I'll bet they were happy they had me home for Christmas...

Self-Care Tips
1. Breathe. It is so important to remember that you can overcome anything. Try controlled breathing exercises when you become overwhelmed and stressed out. When you take a deep breath your heart rate slows down. This will calm your nerves and allow you to make the most of your day.

Being a Stress Eater Really Sucks. Top Story - January 2021.
I'm on a quest to lose the last bit of weight before hitting my goal. Unfortunately, I'm also a stress eater. This means I often find comfort in foods when things get a bit screwy in my life. And the events of January 6th really didn't help my situation.

Cozy is a State of Mind . Top Story - January 2021.
I've moved five times in the past two years, often to cramped, unsightly spaces with people I don't know very well because it was all I could afford on a student's budget. Other times, I've had to endure the unorganized chaos of roommates who didn't share my clean freak sensibilities. Or the understanding that leaving dishes unattended for three weeks in the sink (not exaggerating) was just begging for a rodent infestation. I've been awoken by the stompings of my upstairs neighbours who either had freakishly large footfalls or were perpetually dragging a ten-tonne boulder back and forth across their living room at 2AM. Conversations have also filtered through my walls conducted by my roommates about the merits of the African phallic member, repleted with excessive usage of the N-word, affirmations that immigrants in Canada should "speak English" and a particularly jarring assertion that I, a black woman, was a "good one."

The Truth Lies Within
The world right now is turbulent. The "information" age has devolved into the mis- and dis-information age, in which we grasp on to whatever it is that we want to believe and hold on to those ideas as what we believe to be truth. Unfortunately, much of the time these beliefs which we hold to be true are not truth at all--in fact they are the very opposite. So how do we navigate these uncharted waters? The very first step is to look and listen within.
