Thursday, the 12th of September, 2024. R U OK Day. Another year has rolled around. I’m starting to wonder if every year, every R U OK Day, I am a little more cynical than the last. In saying that, though, this is probably since I lost my friend to suicide late 2022. I didn’t get … Read More
“Are you okay?” The words are being thrown around left, right, and centre today. The school children are wearing yellow. Businesses send out emails to their employees.

Some of us are dealing okay, but some of us aren’t. I guess that’s the same everywhere, right? Some of us heal faster. Some of us heal slowly and gradually.

Hey lovely people. This is a bit of a story and a few of my thoughts, straight from the heart. My thoughts and feelings on recovery, and how I am going with feeling okay.
