The Internet is filled with wellness tips and self-care advice these days. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fantastic that people are starting to talk more and more about mental wellbeing. But what happens when those wellness tips like “go to yoga” or “meditate for half…
I always think it’s good to have mantras. It can be something you publicly declare. It can be something you keep to yourself. But it’s always good to have something to say or think when you’re feeling stressed or when you need that extra burst…
I wake up a lot of days and feel overwhelmed, whether with life in general or with the stuff on my to-do list for the day. Sometimes, however, I wake up feeling happy. Inexplicably filled with something resembling confidence or pride or determination. Ready to…
Life has been pretty good lately, but I’m not going to pretend that every day is great. Many days I wake up feeling down, caught up in a storm of thoughts that can’t seem to slow themselves down. Feeling overwhelmed with the basic tasks or…
10 October is marked as World Mental Health Day by the World Health Organization, so I thought I’d take some time to write yet another post about mental health! Many people I talk to about my mental health are generally well-meaning. But it’s just hard…
Anxiety and stress are hard enough to control in private, but even harder when you feel you’re in a place where you need to remain composed. My anxiety often comes out of nowhere, and I can feel it coming, most of the time—my mind starts…
It’s that time of year again. Back to school. But for the first time in over 16 years, I’m not at school. Instead, I’m having stress dreams about school. I’m sitting for an exam. It’s American history. I write beautiful answers for the first three…
When asked what my favourite quote is, one poem always comes to mind: Invictus by William Ernest Henley. I know it’s not a single quote, but it holds so much power in its entirety that I find it hard to chop up, even though I…
It’s Mental Health Awareness Week so I thought I’d write about something I’ve been struggling with for awhile now for Day 16 of Blog Everyday in May: Anxiety.…

![When I started this account about a year ago, it was purely so I could stop spamming my friends with travel photos. I never thought it would grow at all. As it grew, I became more involved in the numbers of it all (I do love me some analytics, just ask my supervisor at work) but that took away from the fun of Instagram for me.
It shouldn’t be about how many likes of comments each photo gets, it should be about the joy of sharing daily adventures and previous explorations.
Now that I’ve had a break and time to reflect, build my blog, and take photos (for the joy of it, not #forthegram), I’m gonna give this account another try. I won’t worry about posting at the optimal time. I won’t worry about how many likes or comments each photo gets (because the algorithm seems to favor very few people) and I’ll hopefully make this a more positive and fulfilling space for not only myself but also for my followers. Let this [new] adventure begin! .
