This place will always be home 💖

My shadow in the second picture is definitely plotting against me 😂👺

1 or 2? 💖😁

Don’t have to lose anything to realise it’s value 🙏🏻

*unrelated but essential caption* ⚠️ 🧠 Anxiety and depression both do not have deterministic causal factors. Each person has individual environmental 🏡 , social/relational 🤝, internal/cognitive, microbial 🦠 , etc. factors that contribute to the long-term symptoms one experiences. However I do want to stress the factor of nutrition (which most people I talk to this about roll their eyes 🙄 as they relate nutrition to weight fluctuations and boring food 🥗). If one is not eating the required suggested vitamin intake (food or supplemented), it will result in a chemical/neural/hormonal imbalance that manifests as psychological symptoms (low mood, irritability, anxiety, etc.) Our body’s way of ‘warning’ ⚠️ us of this deficiency is through our mind. (A smaller scale example of this: hanger). We cannot produce the essential chemicals we need to have a ‘healthy mind’ without these essential nutrients. This alone or in combination with other factors can make forms of anxiety and depression worse. Food IS our medicine. I feel strongly about this because I’ve had close ones to me go through long term mental pain from vitamin deficiency contributing as a causal factor among others. Sending strength and love to you all always 💖

Don’t ever try and prove yourself to anyone. YOU know yourself, everyone else will seek to understand you based on their assumptions and own mental schemas. We are dynamic beings, take comfort in that. Nothing is ever just black or white. 💖

Delivering you some Elsa from Frozen vibes today ❄️😆 who else is digging this blue holographic colour? 😍🥶 set is from @shimmyshineclothing 💙

Me: doesn’t get sick all 2019 💃🏼 *goes on vacation* *gets tonsilitis* 😷 Murphy’s law got me this time 😂🖕🏻

The goal is to maintain peace in the presence of adversity 💕

𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑖𝑛𝑒 happiness is intrinsic, you cultivate it within you. No amount of money 💵 or material abundance will ever provide you 𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 happiness, our hedonic adaptation will never allow it. ⚠️ (also yarp I am reposting this because im ‘picture dry’ atm🤣💕)

You either control your mind 🧠 or have it control you.

Kiri 🐶: Ah shit, here we go again. 😒📸 When I was younger 👧🏼 I grew up around animals all the time (I’ve had pet turtles, tortoises, rabbits, chickens, roosters, an iguana, fish, a cat & sea monkeys (who remembers those?😂) what kind of pet(s) do you have or have had? Or maybe wanted? 🤔😆💕

What plans do you all have for this summer? 🌞 Anything you’re looking forward to? I need some ideas my peeps 😂💡

Like the moon 🌙 we must go through phases of emptiness to feel full again 🌝💕

True growth 🌹 stems from hardships 🥀

My dog was clearly not in the mood for pictures, her paw pushing me away too 😂

This edit is paying tribute to my childhood favourite🙇🏼‍♀️😂 who else loved Jurassic Park? 🦕🌿 I made this all on the Facetune app so don’t roast me too hard.. especially with that pasted-in dino running beside me LOL

People that make assumptions of others based on social media profiles are the same people that read the synopsis on the back of a book📖 and say they’ve read the whole story 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

People that deny their emotions (we all know a “catch flights ✈️ not feelings” individual on our feed😂) are just portraying their self-defense mechanism that protects their emotional vulnerability, and those who suppress their emotions ultimately replace them with self-destructing behaviours. As humans we are all equally emotional beings, with different emotional regulators. Do not feel stigmatized for feeling down or in general afraid to disclose your emotions to others. That person displaying their ‘badass facade’ 😎 to the world (which is me a lot of the time I’m not afraid to admit it lmao) is just as vulnerable as you are. No difference except in the way we handle our emotions to protect our mental representations of ourselves. Don’t listen to those that shame you for displaying them. Comment this emoji 💪🏻 if you read through this💖

*Proceeds to change into tracksuit after this picture* 🤦🏼‍♀️ people that know me in person know I can’t wear anything nice unless it’s for insta or some special event 😂 I think I just have a Steve Jobs mindset when it comes to clothing; practical and comfortable is my choice 🤔 who else is like that?

Happy times at Primrose Hill🌳🧡

You should thank the ocean for the air you breathe. Most of the Earth’s oxygen is produced by phytoplankton: around 70-80%. 🌊 #factoftheday Also this is possible my worst edit so far but it’s for my caption 😂🙏🏻

Queen of wearing sporty wear while doing no sports 💪🏻🤦🏼‍♀️ who’s with me 😂🤷🏼‍♀️
