I just want to put this out there,
This is not going to be sugar-coated and rated-G place. There will be vulgar language and a lot of topics that I know are sensitive and that can be triggering. Topics such as death, anxiety, suicide, self-harm, eating disorders, and abuse will be talked about at some points. All of these things are a part of my history and are simply unavoidable when discussing who I am, where I come from, and what goes on in my daily life.
Please, if you are struggling don't ever feel like there isn't anyone there. My messages are always open for you to come and vent if you need help or if you're going through tough times. Someone is always listening.
Never forget to smile. You're beautiful, inside and out, and are so valuable to this planet. You have purpose.
Sincerely,
-H
