All I want is to live healthy and stress free and be chasing my dreams. That’s it. That doesn’t seem like it should be too much to ask.

Environmental impact is one of the cornerstone reasons I decided to become vegan. Our bodies don't need meat, and the amount of resources and land that we use to grow and slaughter animals is baffling. The Amazon, in particular, is constantly being cut back to make room for livestock.
"If the world adopted a plant-based diet, we would reduce global agricultural land use from 4 to 1 billion hectares"

We could reduce the amount of land used for grazing and croplands used to grow animal feed.

Positivity and gratitude are vitally important. ☯️ Let's do it. 1 like = 1 thing I love. 📚💙
Yeah, this definitely seems like an exercise my therapist would approve of to balance all the doom in my mind, so hit me.
1 like = 1 thing I love (with pictures if possible)

I went to my favorite local bookshop on "small business Saturday" because what I need is an excuse to buy more books.
Seeing the store so busy, people smiling and laughing, swapping suggestions - it was a beautiful thing that brought me so much joy. 💙

I've been writing on and off all day. Over 2k words in my WIP and it feels incredible.
But I also have raging self-doubt issues and struggle so much believing in my writing.

Remember - your character needs to grow throughout the story. Who they are at the beginning is not who they should be at the end.

“Drop your #suitcase,”
she says, voice of silken honey
dripping with concern.
“But why,” I stammer,
“When it holds everything
I need.”
“It holds too much,” she answers,
“Including pain you no longer need.”
“But won’t that mean,” I mumble,
“I have to start again?”
“Isn’t that the point?” #VVS
