Depression

#bellletstalk
I did nothing Saturday and yesterday.
I cried Sunday.
I slept in Monday and today.
I feel too much or absolutely nothing at all.
I drink my too much coffee because my depression medication makes me sleepy.
I use dry shampoo way too often.
I spend too much time alone.
I am too hard on myself.
I don’t let others too close to me.
I love myself anyways xo


Beautiful. What I tell myself if I have a bad day. I have a beautiful life.. A bad day is quickly forgotten about (:

Don't Pretend it isn't Real.

Do you ever hear something that genuinely hurts your soul even though it is not about you? Today something happened that angered me and made me want to retaliate, so I started to write from my gut.
How lucky I am to know strong, smart and beautiful woman. Even more so to have Indigenous woman helping me on my journey of reconciliation.
Yes I am privileged and educated, because my aboriginal side was successfully assimilated by the residential school system. My family has its scars and so does this country. We won’t forgot how we got them but we heal.

For the Love of Books

In the past 6 weeks I have renewed my vigor for tearing through the pages of a book, bringing me to another place. I missed the gift of stories, sometimes I just need to loose myself in a another world to come back and appreciate the one around me. (Gypsy approves).

Back to Me

I have to say, by far this is the best January I have had in years. However I did get a bug that put me out for a week, and after going a little stir crazy I panicked at the thought of sinking into a winter depression. So I made sure I did at least one productive thing when I was sick to feel accomplished. I finished off books, organized my cupboards, cooked, and made a list of all the other things I didn't have the energy to do.

Knowing the depth of winter is a hard time for me, I am giving myself tools and tasks to keep me a float. If I do slip, I know how to get back.

Proud Auntie

& just like that, our family grew xo

Humor Saved Me

This is the happiest, most complete I have felt in years. I am not even afraid to jinx myself and say it. I love my home, my work, my friends & family (of course my fur babes). When I think about what has changed, it was humor. In the dark little basement where I would sit sometimes paralyzed to my couch or bed, I started watching things that would make me laugh. They were not kidding when they said laughter is the best medicine. As I became engrossed in the comedy of others, my own started to return. I figured out the timing, the wit, who I was talking to. The more I laugh the more I want to make others laugh. This is playing into something to feed my creative side. I love taking photos, writing poetry & reading, but I already know this, this feels like a new challenge. I want to continue to nurture what I already have (I've been tearing through the books lately and I love it), but am craving the excitement of something new. Stay tuned!
