Living with depression | It’s not always rational

6th February 2019 By Jonelle 4 Comments

My heart is so sad right now. I know when you struggle with depression, this is normal. I know I will never be the kind of person who doesn’t go through phases of sadness. Even when my life is completely A-Okay, I still get into these bouts of depression. I still feel so down and…

Some of my plants got together for a little gather Some of my plants got together for a little gathering. Still don't know how I suddenly become a plant lady. But here we are. 

Feeling a little sad about the end of our time in Fortunatus Street but looking forward to our new home.
The biggest mushroom I ever did see. The biggest mushroom I ever did see.
Sitting on the steps, alone at home. Waiting on th Sitting on the steps, alone at home. Waiting on the results of my covid test while my family is camping with the neighbours. 

I don't particularly like being alone which is completely opposite to how I've been most of my life. 

Solitude was always a time to heal. To nurse my wounds. To recover from a lifetime of trauma. 

A life that from the outside was one to envy but from inside wasn't always easy. Wasn't easy at all. 

Endless pressure. 
Pressure to be everything I wasn't and everyone else's dream. 

Success. But not to me. 
And here I am. Living my dream. 
Happy.

I'm done healing. 
I'm okay now. 

Home. 
Alone. 
Drinking my beer.
Beautiful Queenstown ❤️ Beautiful Queenstown ❤️
