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

Early on in my life I experienced 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 for six years.

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

The person I am today is focused 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!
