Am I Okay or Am I Not Okay? An Investigation
With the emergence and continuation of this strange, unfamiliar and disruptive way of life, there has been a great deal of talk of the idea of “coping”.

Why you’ll never know who you are & what you want until you give yourself a f*cking break
Out of high school I was very passionate and driven. There was a whole life and career that I envisaged for myself and I was keen to get started on it.

Acknowledging what we’re most afraid of can help us honour the pain of past hurt, as well as provide insight into the things in life that are meaningful and important to us.
