You are enough just as you are.

Did you know anxiety will affect nearly 30% of adults at some point in their lives, and women are twice as likely to be affected as men? For people living with anxiety, their minds can play tricks on them, convincing them they’re only worthy of love, time and patience if they are having “good” days. This is a lie. The sheer fact that you are a living, breathing human means that you are worthy of those things everyday. So whether you are up or down today, remind yourself that both versions of you deserve love and compassion, from others and from yourself. Fight to find the good. Keep gratitude journals. Surround yourself with inspirational quotes. Decorate your body with meaningful tattoos. Talk to trusted loved ones about your struggles. Seek out help from a mental health professional. Do whatever it takes to find joy. And if you’ve ever felt like you’ve had to fight just to live, we hope you know you are not the only one. And we hope you know that although life can be incredibly tough, you are as well. You are worthy. You are loved. You are enough, you are a thousand times enough.

It has been a very long time since I posted anything here, but I would like to take a moment to share something very special with you.

I am starting a new mental health charity for young people. It’s very much in the early stages of development but I have some exciting plans for the future.

If you’d like to give the page a follow, please feel free to do so. We’re on Instagram and Twitter too!

Your love and support is greatly appreciated.

Much love, Josh x

Before you— I was a constellation of blisters and bruises. Now— life is full of sunshine and sunflowers.

I fell for you like gravity had let go of the Earth.

I always think of you before I fall asleep. The words you said, the way you looked. The things we laughed about, the silent moments we shared. And when I dream, I’ll dream of you. Because it’s about you, it’s always about you.

You'd say she's beautiful if you saw her, but you wouldn't understand everything that she is. When I look at her, I look past the golden tone of her skin, and I see the sunshine within her smile, I see worlds within her eyes that I wish to explore. I feel the stars tangled between our fingers while I hold her hand, and I feel the rush of blood to my heart at the sound of her laughter. I look past the beauty which the world sees, because beyond that is a soul full of passion and fire, a raw beauty which if you could feel it, you'd fall in love too.

This time it was different. She didn't need to say "I love you", because I could see those three lovely words dancing in her eyes, and I only hoped she could also see them in mine, for I knew I had found the heart which beats to the rhythm of my own.

Joshua Greenaway // Things That My Heart Whispers

For way too long, I hid my pain beneath laughter, beneath layers of clothes, beneath excuses. I didn’t want anybody to be pulled down by my weight. I was convinced that nobody would be able to help me anyway or that I would just be cast away as being overdramatic or stupid. I had always been the good girl, the perfect daughter, the A+ student, and everything was spiraling out of control. I was afraid of who I was becoming, but I was so ashamed that I didn’t want anybody to know. I didn’t want to show how vulnerable I was; and after all, how do you bring up a conversation like that? How do you push those words out?

Tonight, the sky looks beautiful, the stars twinkling. Just like you did, the first time we met, your eyes sparkling.

I didn't know it before, but now I realise I was only born loving the stars because they hold pieces of you within them.

He knew why he wanted to kiss her. Because she was beautiful. And before that, because she was kind. And before that, because she was smart and funny. Because she was exactly the right kind of smart and funny. Because he could imagine taking a long trip with her without ever getting bored. Because whenever he saw something new and interesting, or new and ridiculous, he always wondered what she’d have to say about it–how many stars she’d give it and why.

I’m not reaching for the stars and the moon anymore. I’m reaching for you, and honestly, that’s far more beautiful than a night full of dancing flames.
