Hello gorgeous humans,
I wanted to take a moment to reach out; I have started a small mini-series on Instagram, as some of you know. The series is entitled "Monday Morning Check-In." It has been running for 18 weeks now, which is a big deal.
I started Monday Mornings to create a space to check in with each other regarding our mental health and stand as a reminder that you are not alone. Like millions of other beautiful humans, I, too, struggle with mental illness, which I lovingly refer to as darkness. For me, darkness wears a mask of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and a weird non-epileptic seizure disorder.
As an artist and fellow warrior in darkness, I wanted to do something to help shine a little light into all of our lives, and while I have loved checking in with you on Monday mornings, I felt like I could be doing more.
So without further ado. Let's get started
Starting today, I will be sending out a Monday Morning Newsletter filled with content to help us navigate our darkness and a healthy dose of positivity. On Tuesday, I will follow up with a video on mental health practices and eventually interview other warriors in darkness to share their struggles and triumphs with us.
I am so excited for this next chapter, and I hope you will join me. I genuinely believe that by coming together, we can find better ways of making it tomorrow.
As always, if no one has told you today: You are amazing; you are magic and stardust and loved more, then you could even know.
Until next time,
Yanninia Marie
