Mental Health

Making feeling good my new “normal” doesn’t mean I don’t cry anymore.

It doesn’t mean I never get stressed. And it doesn’t mean shitty things don’t happen to me sometimes.

What if it felt okay to take a break?

I used to be rubbish at switching off from anything. I’d take work calls during dinner, I’d answer the phone at 3am if a friend needed me, and I’d sneakily check emails from the beach.
