It’s important to be cognizant of what other people are going through but at the end of the day you can’t let other people hold you back. I’ve definitely rubbed some people the wrong way with how I carry myself and the openness I talk with. Sometimes my confidence and passion is taken as cockiness. I can’t control the way people feel about me or anything else for that matter. I just try to be a decent fuckin’ human. #notetoself #passion #confidence #cockiness #beyourself #itiswhatitis #sorrynotsorry #candid #lightsout #gimmethestage #illstealtheshow

Why are you so negative? Why do you always overthink everything? What’s wrong with you? ... Just act normal! I’ve literally been told all of these things through out my life. I never knew how to explain what was going on inside my brain, sometimes I would just shut down and withdraw other times I would bury these weird feelings with drugs or alcohol. I use to think I was just use to dealing with shit in my life and that a normal day was stressful. I literally thought my path in life was destined to struggle no matter what I did. For years I was stuck in this mental loop of negativity, depression, anxiety. My thoughts obviously influence my feelings, I had no desire to get better or get help. It took a lot of work to unlearn my poor habits and to understand my thoughts and feelings to be able to work with them in a positive manner. It’s still an ongoing process I will never be cured of mental illness, I will still have bad days and struggle. But I now have the understanding that my mental Illness does not define me. #mentaldisorder #mentaldisorders #mentaldisability #mentalillness #mentalillnessrecovery #mentalillnessawareness #motivatedmentalhealth #itsokaytonotbeokay #understandyourself #endthestigma

I love this photo, it’s the simplest visual concept but the meaning is right there. I haven’t been posting much lately because I wasn’t sure em where to go next or what to do. But that’s all a part of the process, change is the only constant in life. #change #changeyourmindset #changeyourlife #changeisgood #changes #changestartswithyou #motivatedmentalhealth #calgary #yyc #inspire #aspiretoinspire

Oliver hates snow. He’s also never seen this much snow before. So I decided he should experience what it’s like to be in a snow bank #pitbullsofinstagram #pitbull #pitbulllove #snowday #sorrynotsorry

Life happens to us all differently, we need to be proud of the things we have accomplished and how far we have came. We live in a world where our worth is tied to our productivity, where if for some reason we didn’t accomplish every little thing on our to do lists we are some how deemed useless. The idea of freedom is in our hearts and minds. Take back control over your thoughts and feelings. Create a life YOU want. A wise woman once told me No one ever died from dishes b...eing on the counter or the carpet not being vacuumed. It’s so simple yet so true. The everyday demands that have been put on us as a burden to bear have been created. Break the cycle. Take care of yourself. Do what makes you happy.
