Hi loves, with the recent public suicides last week and many others we don't hear about... I think it’s time I share a crucial part of my journey - being admitted into the psych ward.

These past few months have flown by.. just like this year has. So many wonderful things have happened this spring and I want to focus on the most special to me - My trip to Victoria.
