Find your own closure


So I've been thinking about the Liberation Challenge I uploaded a while back, and I realised there was one that I can complete. Problem is, like all of us, I am human.

The idea of giving yourself closure is actually quite difficult. Forgiving your own, or someone else's mistakes can be daunting when your emotions don't know how to feel about things. So I decided tonight I would give myself closure. I will admit I have previously attempted this, however I sent it to the person I wanted closure from...and I was left frustrated and still didn't feel closure.

I decided to give myself closure, and not ask for it.

Keeping your head above water



So it's been a while...

I've been focusing on my Mental health the past few months, so it's safe to say I've learnt a few things about fighting a battle when you already feel defeated. At first, I'll admit I was adamant I wouldn't make it this far as I thought the depression dog had bit too hard this time. Slowly but surely I am proving myself wrong by finding my feet again. It hasn't been an easy process and I'm definitely not out of the clear yet...but the hope is beginning to return. For me, that's a huge improvement.

My first Geocache!!!

I am so glad I found out about this awesome treasure hunt adventure!

Bloggers Take on Africa backlash


First of all, I'm not going to lie here...but the #BloggerstakeonAfrica project may be getting cancelled already after only a few weeks of planning.

Not because African Impact pulled out.

Not because we changed our minds (We're gutted!)

Not because of support issues (And those of you that supported us, if it does get cancelled your money will be returned as there was no bank account tied to the gofundme page...it will be refunded don't worry...you can always send it straight to a charity)

But because of hate.

Why I'm not Ashamed


If you haven't seen the hash-tag "I'm not Ashamed", Check this profile out.

Instead of hiding away from a mental health illness, a twitter user has decided it is time to stand up. To allow us to come together instead of hiding our illness. To turn around to the world and announce "Yes, I have a mental illness...

...And I am not Ashamed".

20 Ways to feel free (The Liberation Challenge!)


It struck me that we all aim for a feeling of freedom.


The reason I made the leap of faith (and why you should too)



Something that drives me crazy is how we follow what society sees as success instead of following our own goals. Society tells us that we need some form of education, a shiny career with a fancy office and a perfect family.
