7.21.16 // Another late spread!! This month has been really eye opening and equally as hard as the last two. But I feel like I'm getting somewhere. I'm petitioning for reinstatement due to my diagnosis and mental health, which I'm hopeful I'll get approval for. I'm also up for a promotion at work despite me being with the company for only a month. Things are looking up and I'm ready to step out of the darkness and feel the sun on my face again. (I also free handed everything on this spread; feels good to see my creative growth)

7.6.2016 // I am now one year closer to 30 and I’m realizing the glaring holes in my personal life. I got the news that I've been kicked out of my university temporarily due to poor academic standing this last year, and I've realized a lot of complexes while trying to deal with this awful break up. I guess heartbreak greeted me at the right time, because i now find myself extremely motivated to heal and grow independently, clawing to get out of this deep hole I’ve placed myself in after a string of poor decisions and destructive behavior. Here’s to another year around the sun, and the hope to be a healthier person when 27 knocks on my door. (one day I’ll post my spreads on time i swear)

6.22.16 // Every once in a while I rediscover a 15 year old song from childhood that reminds me to be unapologetically me 🤘🏼 Thanks, India Arie 💕

6.22.16 // I'm trying this thing where I doodle images that I would normally print out and glue into my journal. I'm absolutely terrible but I'm happy to be putting energy into something again. It really helps to cope with the debilitating heartbreak I've been perpetually experiencing for over a month now. I hope you all are well 💙

6.2.16 // It’s been an incredibly rough couple of weeks. My relationship with an incredible man was abruptly ended over events and circumstances outside of my control, sending me into a very deep and long lasting depressive state--of which I have yet to crawl out of. This journal spread is a mess;  I wasn’t planning on posting it, but it signifies my last week with a man whom I will love forever. I know this isn’t completely academic or inspiring in any way, I just needed to post this somewhere.

May has been one crazy month but I am so ready for June! My website is nearly done and I’m excited to share it with you all very soon! There’s just a few bugs I need to fix, which will throw me off schedule, but I’ll be publishing a blog post every Wednesday morning starting on the 8th. 

Also, this has to be my favorite monthly spread yet. Once I get into the flow of blogging consistently and more frequently, I’ll buy a second notebook to use as an editorial calendar. But for now, I’m pretty happy with this setup. :)

I’ve recently picked up bullet journaling and I’ve been really loving it so far. I had a lot of fun making it “pretty”. Also, REMINDER THAT MOTHERS DAY IS THIS SUNDAY. You’re welcome in advance 😂

April 23rd {18/100}

Day 18 of my 100 days of productivity! Today was another biology-heavy day. I spent most of my time re-writing my in-class notes and making sure that I actually understand all of the concepts. I was tackling nerve impulse propagation. As you can see, the notes I take in class are really rough and unorganised, all written in the same color and just general not aesthetically pleasing whatsoever. I wanted to show you guys that good looking notes, always started out as messy ones.

Please reblog this if it's alright to come to you for advice or to just rant. Thank you.
