Day 1: Greetings from my mind. I've been focusing on my mental health a lot lately and trying to find a good balance between all the darkness and light that swirls around in my head.

Day 2: Past: 4 Years of College. It was fun to look back on my college days. I certainly don't miss running after the bus...

Day 3: Present. Covid happened/is happening, and my job closed. Thankfully, I was happy to leave it; I was miserable and depressed, just in an awful place mentally. So now I'm home, trying to make the best of it. Trying to live my best life as a creative, a writer, an artist, and everything in between. We'll see how it goes, but I am a lot happier now :)

Day 4: Future. The book stays mostly blank because the words to fill it have yet to be written, yet to be brought to life :)

Day 8: Body Love :) This one made me feel a lot of things as I was working on it. A lot of deep sadness, but I felt great after finishing the page.
