We are all unique and colorful, we all have lived a life that only ourselves can understand. I am trying so hard, every single day to not let my past experiences distort my reality right now. To live in the moment has always been almost impossible for me, as I suffer from severe anxiety and PTSD. So my mind is constantly on a loop finding ways to upset me, and creating stories in my head to make me think the worst possible outcome. It is unbelievably exhausting, and breaks my heart to feel like I am trying to find ways to be miserable, when my life at this moment is amazing and everything I’ve wanted. And yet, here I am constantly needing reassurance, constantly worried about the “worst is yet to come.” I want the colorful, bright, fun loving girl I pretend to be to be real. It starts with me. It starts with choosing to be happy, and making the decision to turn those negative thoughts into positive ones. It is not easy, but at least I’m trying 💕 . . 📸: @aaron.captures Lighting: @86.media #model #modeling #photoshoot #lifestyle #creative #art #colorful #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalrestday #empath #ptsd #ptsdawareness #anxietyawareness #energy #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womenempoweringwomen #feedyoursoul #bodypositivity #bodypositive
