Sharing my home online has always meant more to me than what may meet the eye. I started sharing my life online in the depths of the 2009 recession. I was clinically depressed, had undiagnosed ADHD, no money, no parachute, no back up plan. Blogging seemed to be a way I could cobble together a way to support myself. “Making it” in 2012 didnt make my problems go away, but turning towards the outlets that brought joy gave me the courage to keep going. For the ones struggling to find their footing in the adulthood, I remember how HARD it is. I remember the hopelessness. But I hope you keep going. Take your pleasures seriously, put one foot in front of the other, and keep connecting with people who see you even when it feels impossible to find yourself. #storytimestiktok #interiordesignstories #mentalhealthmatters
