If you asked me as a 5-year-old, a 10-year-old or even a 20-year-old you would have heard one of three answers; vet, school teacher, cafe owner. Not in a million years would I have thought I would be a General Manager for an agency. And I definitely would not have thought I would have found myself in this role at 22-years-old.
I have had a full on couple of months and I imagine I am not alone. So this week I thought I would ditch the serious stuff, pour myself a glass of wine and share 20 facts about me that many probably don’t know. Are you scared? I am!
Today I finally returned First, We Make The Beast Beautiful by Sarah Wilson to my local library. I am not joking when I say I am 100% expecting a $50 late fee from the library. I hung onto this book forever. Why? I found this book to be like a comforting, warm hug from your mum after a long and shitty day. It made me feel like someone else understands my brain and the highs and lows I have experienced with my own mental health.
As I write this, it is midday, I am sitting in the corner of a cafe because work got a little too much for me and my screen displays a Michelle Obama quote that I swear has been put there to taunt me.
Antidepressants. Something I hate taking and despise telling people I take. So why am I telling you? Because I want to break the stigma, open the conversation and help other people on their mental health journey feel a little less alone.
