I know it's not easy to get out, especially at the moment, but if you can, get outside and get some D! Like the other kind of D, this D can ghost you👻... Especially in the winter months ❄️ but you can also get vitamin D supplements in most supermarkets or through your GP 💛 this is especially important for my fellow POC as we are more likely to suffer from low vitamin D levels!

It's easy to compare our bodies to others and assume that people who look how we may like to look are happier because of it, but that isn't often the case!💛

During my early 20s I convinced myself that the reason I didn't have friends, or no one was attracted to me, or I wasn't getting the jobs I wanted was because of how I looked! I wasn't thin enough, I wasn't white enough, and my hair was just too curly🤦🏽‍♀️ So I lost a stupid amount of weight until I could fit into the tiniest American apparel shorts I could find and my t**s fit in the tiniest Top shop bra known to man! I straightened my hair and clipped in hair extensions until I got bald patches from all the weight of extra hair! .... And guess what... Nothing changed! The reason I felt alone and I wasn't getting the opportunities I perceived others to be getting was because I lacked confidence and self belief. As soon as I worked on those 2 things, the world became my 12" meat feast pizza with fries (I don't like oysters....)

I think the more we share with each other what our vulvas look like the more we will realise that va**nas come in all shapes and sizes, and the more confident we will feel with our own vulvas 💛💛 **naisbighamsmallbread and I love her 💛
What is your va**na like? **nais...

"Let’s all become more aware of what is worth our energy in 2021! ✨

Like many of you, I often spend my days trying to cram as much as possible into my limited time. So much so, that I rarely have time to give energy to myself. I stay busy with work, I try to stay connected with friends and family, I spend time giving love and attention to Wil and the cats, and I spend too much time worrying about things out of my control. What I’m trying to teach myself is that my energy is something to be cherished and spent well, rather than just thrown into anything that enters my mind.

I want to encourage everyone to be more selective with the energy and time you do have. It’s okay to say no, it’s okay to be selfish, and it’s okay to just be lazy for a bit. Ultimately, spend your energy on what will make your own life full of love and happiness. 💕"

When your therapy comes to an end and your therapist is OK saying bye 'cus they're a professional doing a job but you're sad inside because part of you wants to be best mates on account of telling them all your deepest darkest secrets 😂😂

I think I miss every single mh councellor I've had! How about you? 🤔

To be fair... I could tell you what my favourite colour is and I'd assume that makes us friends.... 🤣

A few of my anxieties are based on things that people have said to me without soilisitation, often in regards to my appearance 😒😒 so here is a reminder.... To think about what we say to others! We all have opinions.... But does the other person REALLY need to hear it? ❤️♥️

When the world is officially too much and you want to run away.... We understand how that feels ❤️we understand that it is a heavy thought to carry ❤️ but just know that you can get through this.❤️

We are often encouraged to make the most out of bad situations, suck it up, put our big pants on and move on. And although eventually that is a good thing to do, often sadness, dissapointment, or anger are valid responses to a negative or unexpected situation and it is 100% normal to need time to feel those emotions whilst you process that situation 💛 when life gives you lemons... Take time to process that s**t 🍋💩💛
