Mental health is a constant rollercoaster. What I could handle yesterday, I may not be able to handle today.

In just two years (and two months), it will be twenty years since I first began to show serious signs of anxiety at the young age of four. It has been quite the journey, and something I have and always will be super open about.

Lately, I have been noticing a few serious changes in day-to-day. While at the same time, I still see parts of me that are still suffering like they always have.

Today, I will share a few signs of improvement.

Sign #1

One of the biggest things I have noticed is my carefree attitude toward being away from home.

My Family ❤ (:

I grew up in SC all of my life. My parents only moved once, and it was only twenty-five minutes away from our old house. I was also sixteen at the time, and so, the change was nothing but positive to me.

I love SC, and I love my family even more. I see my family as my closest friends. I was blessed to grow up in a home with both parents and many siblings. I never planned on living anywhere but close to my parents and siblings.
