Just your average, ordinary, everyday kinda guy. Ploddin along, living life, pretty open about my own experiences to hopefully encourage others to open up about their own 🙌🏻

Someone once said to me "if you can't love yourself how are you going to love someone else?" Everything starts with you, learn to love yourself for who you are and drop the incessant desire to be more- do the best you can with what you have ✌🏻 #loveyourself #selflove #youareenough #mebeforeyou

A letter to my 17 year old self- using what I know now, I wrote a letter to my younger self- warning him about what to expect, and giving him some advice about growing up. It felt so good to watch this letter go up in flames 😌 #airingofgrievances #lettertomyyoungerself #goodbyetothepast #sotherapeutic

It's ok to be scared- i will be absolutely honest with you all, I am beyond, absolutely terrified of what I am getting myself into by moving cities in a few weeks. I have found myself second guessing my plans multiple times a day and I am fighting every fibre in my body that are currently screaming at me, telling me to stay where I am. But in order to cross the ocean, one must first lose sight of shore. Who knows if I am doing the right thing, but I am going to give this my best shot- and I guess that's all I can ask of myself. #shitscared #makethemove #perthcity #seachange #igotthis #youneverknowuntilyoutry

So, clearly I keep forgetting to look in the mirror- not really sure if the scruffy teen wolf look is really appropriate for a mental health worker 😂 #teenwolf #scruffy #mentalhealth #lazyass #cantevengrowabeard

A lesson learnt

My whole life I have been told that I am my own worst enemy- and in some capacity I have always know that. But lately I have learnt that my head is my worst enemy. If you are anything like me, you self internalise everything- you over think absolutely everything and make it 10x worse by think about it. I swear I have actually formed a committee in me head, because that’s what it feel like when I over think- like there are 10 difference voices speaking in my head giving different opinions and it just makes the matters worse. My learnt lesson is that, in order to understand and really make sense of something or a situation- the best thing to do is talk about it out loud. Do it with yourself or even with a close friend, family member or partner. My partner has been amazing lately and has even learnt what face i pull when I get consumed by the voices in my head, and he asks me to talk it out with him. Having someone who is completely objective to the thoughts in my head- sit there and listen to what I’m think about really helps clarify things and it really sheds a lot of light on situations. More often that not he doesn’t even have to say anything, I work it out in my own- but just to get it out in the open is such a relieving feeling.

So my lesson learnt: Get it off of your chest, because at the end of the day it’s your heart that suffers the most from a chest full of pressure. You have an amazing heart, protect it and it will protect you.
