Hello all, welcome to my blog! By sharing my writing and art I intend to make strides towards reducing the stigma that surrounds mental illness while increasing the understanding of anxiety and eating disorders. There is value in embracing the healing power of creative outlets while being heard and I respresent that here. From time to time my blog includes additional posts that I feel relate. *Note: if you have or have had an Eating Disorder the contents of this page may be triggering.* Thank you for taking the time to visit my page.

Falling up
As I fall up,
I dance through the uncertainty, the joy, the pain, and the unknown~ all at once but separately all the same.
Every rememberance of past struggles, encounters, and experiences feels like a dark cloud that is slowly getting less dense, still lingering over my head but struggling to stay afloat as the clear sky slowly moves in. All the laughter, passion, tears, excitement, sadness, happiness, anxiety, and contentment are actually felt. As I start to feel again the vessel disguised as my body catapults me into opportunities that I never dreamed would touch my being.
As I fall up, dismay lingers around the corner but excitement paves the winding path ahead.
The worry that I will fall down again remains but the fear of missing the next inclining cloud is louder.
As I fall up, there is still a fog that surrounds me but the refreshing morning dew is my center of focus.
Appreciation for those around me grows, along with my yearning to reach out. I’m still scared that I will get too close or get hurt but I realize that life is too short to miss opportunities due to fear.
As I fall up, the dancing, the pain, the writing, the laughter, the yoga, the tears, the creativity, the hard work, the tastes, the joy, the thought, the energy~ all intersect at the forefront of my conscience.
My vision is still blurry but I am able to keep wiping the condensation off of my goggles.
As I fall up, I fall for life again, all that is it showing me, and that it has yet to present. As I fall up, I can see the criticisms, dismay, and gripping pain fall down~ feathers of my past flowing slowly to the earth but flowing nonetheless. As I fall up, the canopy of newness, confrontation, perseverance, and fulfillment falls up with me and I vow to eventually let it fall into me.

However much we are affected by the things of the world, however deeply they may stir and stimulate us, they become human for us only when we can discuss them with our fellows. Whatever cannot become the object of discourse ─ the truly sublime, the truly horrible or the uncanny ─ may find human voice through which to sound into the world, but it is not exactly human. We humanize what is going on in the world and in ourselves only by speaking of it, and in the course of speaking of it we learn to be human.
Hannah Arendt, Men in Dark Times (via philosophybits)

and you wake up, and get out of bed. wash your face, drink water, and eat breakfast. call your family, call your friends. go to class. do your homework. work out. do the things you have to do, even though your mind is screaming for you to lie down and stare at the ceiling and drown in the feelings of hurt and ache. because today you are a winner. some days you will not be. some days you will drown. but you are a conquerer. and one day you will be a survivor.

We are, ourselves creations. And we, in turn, are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves.
