Mental Health
Mental health touches every part of our lives, shaping how we see ourselves and connect with the world. In this space, I share personal reflections on living with anxiety, being an introvert, and building self-esteem. These topics are close to my heart and often left unspoken. My hope is to offer a place where you feel understood, supported, and a little less alone. Whether you are learning to honor your quiet side, facing moments of worry, or finding your confidence again, you are welcome here. Mental health is not something to hide or fix—it is something to care for with patience, honesty, and kindness.
How Do You Explain Being an Introvert to Others?
Being an introvert doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you. It means you recharge by being alone, not that you're shy, rude, or broken. Explaining that to people isn’t always easy, but you don’t need to apologize for who you are. If someone doesn’t get it, that’s okay. Your people will, and they’re the ones who matter.

I used to think something was wrong with me for needing quiet, solo time after social events. But discovering I’m an introvert changed everything. It’s not about fixing who I am—it’s about understanding it. I’ve learned to honor my energy, set boundaries, and finally feel comfortable in my own skin. Being an introvert isn’t a flaw. It’s clarity.
