Hi! My name is Hannah, I’m 21 years old, and I’m changing my life. We all reach this stage at some point or another. If you’re like me (and most young people) you put way too much time and energy in being someone other people needed or wanted you to be.

Instructions for your Apartment
Instructions for Your Apartment Cracking an egg involves several stages of grief. Observe the shell. It is whole and smooth. Denial. As your hand clutches the coolness, it almost feels wet, slippery. In a fowl swoop, you slam the egg onto the edge of a frying pan. Anger. You see a shell has decided to stay with the nutrients that you intend to consume. Fetch it. Bargaining. You burn your finger trying to work the shell bit out of your food. Depression. You decide that just one little piece of shell shouldn't ruin your morning. Acceptance.

Take time for yourself
There are a number of things I learned from 2020, and, moving forward, a lot of things Id like to do more this year, like everyone else I guess. More than just listing resolutions as something that we can look back on in 365 days and regret, there’s definitely small changes I know I can make which, ultimately, will make me feel better, and sometimes improve the lives of others round me too, so why not?

Change
I stood staring at the wall in my kitchen. It had suddenly hit me that if I actually was to leave my job I would be leaving a pension, regular, punctual, consistent pay, status and a certain level of security. Moving from these things had never really bothered me before. But that was ten years ago. Things are a bit different now.

How Rock Bottom Saved Me
Growing up in a family where depression consumed a part of my everyday life, I always thought of myself as one of the lucky ones who got dealt just the right hand. A hand where I avoided inheriting such an awful and silent sickness. I was a happy-go-lucky gal living in an above average world going through the motions and keeping my head high above the water. My childhood was filled with laughter and love, and I often found myself being a sense of comfort for others. I was a light that helped guide those I adored through their hardest days; I was a consoling and uplifting voice who cheered them on from the sidelines during their darkest nights.

I Will Turn These Tears Into Weapons
Countless research and countless hours of reading. I have tried to understand and let myself feel these emotions. It hurt so much while I was in the middle of our battle, but leaving has only brought me a brief pause of relief. Nothing and nobody could have prepared me for the downright turmoil my heart and brain would go through trying to fight one another. One of them wants to go back, but the other knows it is but a pointless journey that leads nowhere new.

Eliminating This One Habit Will Radically Improve Your Life
There’s a bug in our system, a malicious presence in our head. And we let it run its course too long too often. Let me take you through a five-minute tunnel and you’ll come out a more rational person on the other side.
