Like many youth, I struggled with a variety of things - in fact I was a pessimist who wore only black, out of distaste for positivity!

Early on in my life I was a victim of bullying for my neurodivergent weird self with a larger body size.

This resulted in very low self-esteem, anger issues, eating disorders, unworthiness, and eventually heavy addictions.

In 2015 my life changed when I quit the substances that were negatively affecting my life, eager to find joy again.

The person I am today is focussed on bringing more kindness, openness, joy, and optimism into the world.

We all face darkness, there is no shame in hard times. Everyone is on their own journey, this is mine to share!
