🌸 A wonderful friend of mine passed away this weekend. Although I knew this was coming, it still feels like a shock that we won’t have anymore conversations or exchange gifts and messages in the mail (such as the 2nd + 3rd photos 💞). She was so sweet, thoughtful, and supportive… one of the few people I could talk with about the realities of chronic illness/disability and she would just ‘get it’. Will think of her whenever I’m at a beach or out in nature 🍃

Oops I disappeared on social media again 🙈 Recently got out of the hospital after 2+ months there 😣 wasn’t feeling up to posting much (but you didn’t really miss anything). So glad to be home now and getting back to life (and feeling so much better)!! Really grateful for everyone in my life who has supported me through this and continues to be there for me 💞

Usually I don’t think much about my birthday, but this year I decided to reflect on my life. Sometimes it’s easy to feel stuck, like my life isn’t moving forwards, or frustrated that I’m not where I want to be. But looking back really puts things into perspective. I don’t know how I got through some of the things with my health, mental health, or life in general. There’s been times when I didn’t think I’d make it another day, never mind see another birthday. There has been so much pain and darkness, but I was able to find the light.

I usually dread having to go all the way to Vancouver for an appointment, mainly because 2hrs each way on transit is pretty tiring, especially when my mobility isn’t great. But when I get there I remember what I love about being downtown 🥰 Here’s some street art …a reminder that we are all living on 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯 land in “Canada.”

Enjoyed some of the sun yesterday even though it’s SO cold!! I’ve been able to get out for short walks lately which has been 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 nice... I was feeling pretty trapped after my recent surgery and I guess I wasn’t feeling as prepared as usual for the recovery part.

Merry Christmas everyone 🥰 look how big Hazel has gotten!!

Today is world mental health day, so here’s a little reminder to take care of yourself🥰 Living in a fast paced, high pressure society, can really impact our wellbeing. People often view mental and physical health as two separate things, but they’re really connected; if we aren’t taking care of one, then it affects the other too. For example, many symptoms of anxiety and depression do show up in our body as physical symptoms. It can be so challenging to get caught in that, and might be difficult to get out of it on our own. It’s so important to reach out and get support. Having a mental illness is not something to be ashamed of. Knowing that’s what you have can empower you to take actions that bring change to your life. There is certainly a lot of hard work involved in having a mental illness (or taking care of our mental health in general)- it’s not as simple as just taking medication (which many people don’t require), therapy is just as, if not more, important (along with other lifestyle changes). It sometimes takes a while to find the right combination of what works, because that’s unique to each person. But there is ALWAYS hope for a brighter future (even when it doesn’t feel like it)! And I’m always here if anyone needs to talk 💗take care

Still behind on posting pics from the summer! We made some stops on the way back from Whistler and I saw Porteau Cove for the first time! I have missed getting to visit friends abroad but it’s been lovely to explore home with friends and family 🥰
