Introduction of Coping Skills Series
I have, personally, long felt the calling to write about mental health topics. In doing so, I wanted to help others who also struggle feel less alone, to motivate myself to practice coping skills and improve my own mental health, and to form a sense of community.

For anyone who believes that they simply SEE with their eyes, nothing could be further from the truth.

Why It Matters To Be Your True Self
Living an authentic life - one where your actions align with your true values and beliefs - can be a very rewarding journey. It’s about letting go of the pressure to conform to those around you and embracing the person you genuinely are. Constantly trying to be someone you’re not is emotionally and mentally exhausting. By embracing your own authenticity, you reduce the stress and anxiety that comes from “putting on a show” to impress others. This is more likely to lead to a greater sense of inner peace, self-acceptance, and happiness. Again, when you are true to yourself, you are likely to attract people who appreciate and respect you for who you really are, not for what they wish you to be. Authentic relationships are built on trust and honesty, creating a safe space for genuine connection and mutual understanding.

The Online-ification of Language
Social media and the online sphere has been changing language use for quite a while now. We've gotten completely new words like selfie and unlike. There's a seemingly never ending supply of acronyms that I've lost track of, and there's more apps then I think I'll ever know the name of - really, half of them just seem made up at this point.
