Reflections on the Balance of Life
I recorded my thoughts this morning, and now it is the evening of the same day. I decided to sit in one of my favorite spots in my yard, next to the lonely oak tree where my first pet, Jellybean (a rabbit), is buried, to record a visual for the audio I recorded in the YouTube video linked above (I recommend listening to my morning reflection before continuing to read.) I took the opportunity of being isolated from my phone to simply observe my surroundings. It’s silly now that I think about how this was once my regular activity as a kid, no technology, just the wonder of the world outside, but now it’s an oddity for me to slow down enough to observe the universe that exists in the grass where I sit.

Dreamworld
You may or may not have hear the term dreamworld. It just so happens it’s my most favourite place to visit. A place where the mind can exist entirely without the body. All limitations go flying right out of the window, as can we. We’ve all had dreams. As toddlers we have nightmares and other enchanting dreams, and as adults the themes tend to switch to much more world like and strangely realistic settings. Dreaming has always sparked my interest and been of the many wonders of human experience that I find truly remarkable.

Can I Teach My Partner Self-Love To Help Her Low Self-Esteem?
The answer to this question might not sound positive, but it is highly practical. You cannot teach anyone self-love because loving the self does not come from external forces, or other people. It comes from how we were treated in childhood: whether we were appreciated or not, or shown real value for who we are, and also whether our relationships since then have changed that experience or reinforced it. Self-esteem, which comes out of self-love, has to be built internally, because a lack of self-love is indicative of an absence of self-acceptance, a feeling of inadequacy, and being worthless.

A Journey of Hope: Overcoming my battle with Depression
Everyday felt like a struggle to get out of bed, to face the day ahead, and to find joy in the things that used to bring happiness. It was a constant battle, and I often felt like I was losing. But there were also moments of hope, when I could see a glimmer of light shining through the darkness. These moments gave me the strength to keep going, to keep fighting. Over time, I began to realize that I was not alone in this struggle. Others had fought similar battles and had come out on the other side. I reached out for help, talking to friends and family. Slowly but surely, I began to see a change. The fog of depression lifted, and I started to feel more like myself again. I found joy in the things I used to love and felt hopeful for the future. The battle with depression was not an easy one, but it was one that I could win. With support, self-care, and a determination to keep going, I found a way through the darkness and into the light. In the end, I emerged stronger, more resilient, and more grateful for the small things in life that make it all worth it. I knew that the battle with depression might never be fully over, but I had the tools and the strength to keep fighting, and that was enough.

Finding yourself as an Indigenous person diagnosed with ADHD.
It’s such a strange concept, ADHD, it’s one that I am still getting used to and, ever more so still trying to understand. I only got diagnosed last year, after practically begging my treaty-promised healthcare provider to see a psychiatrist then to only have to convince the dismissive doctor that I deserved to be evaluated. I had already had the inclination that I was, in fact, symptomatic of ADHD tendencies, and I thought the diagnosis would offer relief in the sense of validation. In a way it did, but it also led to a whole new world I was not prepared for.
