Hello, my name is Kalee. As you see in my picture I’m happy, laughing, and enjoying the beautiful out doors.
Being outdoors is my happy place, you’re free to laugh, run, dance, and scream without judgement.
Most people will read my caption and wonder why I put the word happy in quotations. Well, you see everyone can look happy on the outside but still be hurting on the inside. “Never judge a book by its cover” is what I’ve always been told. In this case that’s what I’m going to tell you.
I’m mostly happy, outgoing, and look for the good in every day. Some days we aren’t always happy go lucky people, we have bad days. Some days we want to run away, and never look back, other days we want stay exactly in the moment.
I have great things in my life, my own apartment, car, family, and friends. Why would I ever not feel blessed right? I am blessed, but I also struggle with a lot of insecurities like; not feeling wanted, Being ugly, not being liked by the people I’m around, being a bother. We all can relate I’m sure. If not you’re LUCKY!!!!!
I’ve struggled with depression, and anxiety for a long time and trying to recover from this some days feels impossible, and other days I feel amazing like I’ve defeated it. I’ll be the first to tell you, it’s nothing to be ashamed off. I always kept it to myself, and didn’t want to get help until I finally did. Talking to someone about your problems, wether I’d be friends, family, or a therapist doesn’t make you weak. We all need help in different way, and trust me talking to someone always helps! Don’t be ashamed, don’t feel like you’re weak, and NEVER let someone tell you you’re just seeking attention. If they do you don’t need that negativity in your life, find someone else to communicate your thoughts with.
When I’m having an anxiety attack, or a depressed episode why I typically do is start shaking, or cry to the point I can’t even breath. It’s not easy, or fun and all I want is for it to go away.
How I handle myself when I feel these episodes coming on now instead of having a full on attack. Take deep breaths, walk away with a glass of water or coffee and sit alone outside. I sit and think about all the good things I have in my life, and how some people don’t have the things I do. Sometimes I take 20-30 minutes, other times I take and hour. You have no time limit to bring yourself together!
All I want is for people to get the help they need, and never feel ashamed or embarrassed by the thoughts they have. We can’t control it, and if we could it wouldn’t happen. Take time to yourself, find out who you are. Talk to a therapist, see a doctor for further treatment like medication of home remedies!
IT IS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF 🧡

"Unusual Behavior: Oumuamua Heading Our Way"
Nobody expected an alien visitor in 2017, until 'Oumuamua showed up. Its odd shape and strange behavior left scientists baffled, sparking wild theories, including those of alien origins. Discovered by Hawaiian astronomers, its name, meaning "messenger from afar," adds to its enigmatic charm. But now, NASA scientists have issued a final, shocking warning: 'Oumuamua is not what we thought, and it's heading back to Earth right now. Join us as we race against time to uncover its true nature before it approaches our planet again! Oumuamua is really important because it's the first thing ever to come into our solar system from somewhere else far away in space. This is a huge deal and very interesting because it's unlike anything we've ever encountered. Imagine someone or something new showing up in your neighborhood; that's how scientists feel about Oumuamua. When it was first noticed in the year 2017, it caught everyone by surprise. Since then, people, especially scientists, have been really curious, trying hard to understand what this object is and where it originated from. It's not like the normal space rocks or ice balls, known as asteroids and comets, that we usually find zooming around our sun. That's what makes it so special and a bit of a puzzle for everyone. When we speak about Oumuamua, we're discussing a very intriguing topic in the world of astronomy. This visitor from beyond has wandered into our solar neighborhood, and it was something no one predicted or expected. You can think of it as an unexpected guest at a gathering, where everyone is interested in learning more about the newcomer. What makes it stand out is its strangeness and how it differs from everything we're used to in our cosmic environment. This has sparked a lot of enthusiasm and curiosity among the scientific community.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
