Mental Health Update

Hi friends! Oh my, it’s been a while.

FOMO/FOBI

Hi friends! This week I thought I would talk about something that I think a lot of people struggle with, especially now that a lot of places are coming out of lockdown and people are starting to socialize more. I think most of us are familiar with the term FOMO, the fear of missing out. This is something that I believe almost everyone has experienced at one point or another. Especially with the expansiveness of

Not Enough

Hi friends! This week I have been struggling a bit, mainly with the feeling of not being enough. I got the news that I did not get into one of the schools I really wanted to get into, and the feeling of rejection was a hard pill to swallow. I grew up with a single mom who had to take care of two kids by herself and so I always tried to be perfect as

My Experience Living with Anxiety

Hi! So, I want to start this post off by being really honest. I’ve been trying to get up the motivation to write this post for a while now, but I went into a pretty deep anxiety hole for a while and just didn’t feel like writing at all.

I had a falling out with a friend while we were traveling in Australia and I had a panic attack on the flight to New Zealand and decided to cut my trip short because I felt so drained and not like myself.

My Story

Hi there! My name is Nicolina and welcome to my blog! Aaahh, that feels so weird to say, haha!
