I know I said I would be posting more and then disappeared, but I have a new excuse! I started a new job at an awesome company called Cloth and Paper! Everything I used for these pages is from my new job, either from the online shop or through the subscription box service. If you’re a planner nerd like me you should definitely check them out!

An Explanation, The Plan, and A Question

First off, thank you so much to everyone who is still here after my prolonged absence, I truly appreciate it. Second, my deepest apologies for said absence, I know it’s been a very long time since I was posting regularly. In the past year, I have been struggling with my mental health and regular blogging was something I just couldn’t keep up. For those of you who don’t know, I have been fighting with depression for many years and more recently I was diagnosed with ADHD so it’s been a bit of a roller coaster in terms of mental health. I’ve also been in school this past semester and that has sucked up a lot of my time. I have turned a corner, however, and am working hard to get myself in a better mindset. 

With that being said, I’m back! And hopefully for good. May is mental health month and I can’t think of a better month to kickstart my comeback. Beginning this month I am planning on getting back to regular posting, both on Tumblr and Instagram. In addition, I have several Youtube videos in the works so be on the lookout for those! I am also planning on answering all the questions in my inbox, no matter how old they are. I know some of them will probably no longer be relevant for the person who asked them, but if there is a chance my answer will still be helpful I want to take that chance. I’m going to try and answer about five a day and hopefully, I’ll get through the backlog fairly quickly. And please send me whatever current questions you may have!

My question to you all is, what would you like to see from me content-wise in the future? Please feel free to send me requests and ideas and I will see what I can come up with! I have been contemplating creating my own monthly journaling prompts, would anyone be interested in something like that?

Thank you for reading and for sticking with me through my difficult times. Here’s to the future!

All my love,

Emma

@elinorsroses did a vintage photoshoot with me! I’m not much of a model but it was so much fun.
