quality time with my favorite boy at my favorite place ♥️
Trying to figure out how it’s already been 3 years since I graduated college 🥴🎓 For the record, I still don’t feel like much of an adult lol (help)
Happy Momma’s Day to the woman that’s encouraged + empowered me for the last 25 years. I wouldn’t be who I am today without her compassion and dedication to serve those around her — I love you, momma! Can’t wait to see you again! 💕

my baby boy turns 3 today 😭 his sweet, fun-loving personality is exactly what I needed in my life and I’m seriously so blessed God led me to him 🖤 — preset: golden hour, #southernsoonerpresets
I feel like there are so many things I could say about May being Mental Health Awareness Month. I started struggling with my anxiety when I was a freshman in college (2012) and I didn’t know the first thing about coping with it since no one talked about it — out of either guilt or because they didn’t know how to. After about 5 years, I finally started to talk about it. I realized that my anxiety was perpetuated by feeling like I couldn’t talk about it, so I made a vow to be transparent + vulnerable to empower both myself and others who need the encouragement to do the same. I fought the idea of starting a daily medication for the longest time because I thought my ability to overcome my anxiety and panic was simply me not doing enough in my daily life. But in one of the darkest mental periods of my life, God helped me realize that there is no shame in admitting you need a little extra help in addition to lifestyle changes. For the last 3 years, with help from my general practitioner and psychiatrist, I’ve experimented with a couple different SSRIs to make me feel like ME again. I have days where I struggle, but because of God’s grace and His giving mankind the knowledge to create medicinal solutions, I have the energy and mindset to chase after the life God put me on Earth to pursue. @idontmind talking about my mental health, so DM me if you need someone to talk to.
