September is Su***de Prevention Month. 🩵

And this one is personal.

I’ve struggled with suicidal thoughts. I’ve had moments where the weight of everything I was carrying felt bigger than my ability to keep carrying it. I’ve had moments where I genuinely questioned whether there was a reason to keep going.

And I’m still here.

I don’t share that for sympathy. I share it because I know I’m not the only person who has ever felt that way—and because sometimes seeing someone say, “I’ve been there too,” can make you feel just a little less alone.

There was a version of me who couldn’t see the life I have now.

She couldn’t see the people she would love, the memories she would make, the things she would accomplish, the people she would eventually help, or the moments that would make her grateful she stayed.

She just knew she was hurting.

If that’s where you are right now, please hear me:

You do not have to figure out your entire life tonight. You just have to make it through this moment.

Tell someone. Call someone. Sit with someone. Cry. Ask for help. Go to the ER. Talk to a therapist. Pray. Keep breathing. Do whatever you need to do to stay here.

And if you don't know who to call, call or text **988**.

The 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7, and you can call, text, or chat with a counselor. It’s free and confidential.

Call or text: 988
Chat: [988lifeline.org]

You don't have to be at the absolute worst point of your life to reach out. You don't have to have the right words. You don't even have to know exactly what's wrong.

You just have to be willing to say, “I need someone.”

And if you’re reading this because you’re worried about someone else, please check on them. Ask the uncomfortable question. Send the text. Make the phone call. Sit beside them.

You never know how much one person choosing to stay, or one person choosing to reach out, can change a life.

I’m still here.

And I’m really, really glad I stayed. 🩵

Doing schoolwork while watching *The Beverly Hillbillies* because apparently my study method is ✨nostalgia and background noise✨ 😂

I used to watch this movie ON REPEAT while doing homework back in high school, so finding it FREE on Amazon Prime Video felt like discovering a little piece of my teenage years again. 🥹📚📺

Honestly… if I survived high school homework with the Clampetts playing in the background, I can probably survive college too. 😂

Where the Drink Girlies At? 🍷🍸🍹🥂🧉🧋🫖

Any one else always have at least two or more drinks at a time? 🤣🤣 Mine is usually, water (flavored or normal), coffee (iced usually some hot), and if u have a third it’s some kind of tea or flavored water on top of having normal water or like juice or the very occasional Pepsi.

What’s your go to Bev? 🥂🩵✨🤣🤦‍♀️

If you saw this and thought, “oh… I think we’d be friends,” you’re probably right 😂🩵✨

My personality is basically a chaotic little crossover episode of:

📸 Photography + MSW student life
✝️ Jesus + faith
📚 Books + coffee addiction
🎨 Crafts, DIYs & making everything unnecessarily ✨whimsical✨
🛍️ Thrifting + finding things I absolutely did not need
🦋 Lisa Frank nostalgia
👻 Scooby-Doo + Supernatural
🔪 Dexter + true crime
🎃 Halloween, costumes & anything spooky
📺 90s/2000s nostalgia
💃 Dancing in the kitchen like nobody is watching
😂 Dark humor + laughing until it hurts
🐢 And apparently… turtles. I like turtles too. 😂

Basically, I’m a Jesus-loving, coffee-fueled, crafty, book-reading, thrift-shopping, nostalgia-obsessed spooky girl who will absolutely stop what she’s doing to talk about a random childhood memory, a murder documentary, or why Scooby-Doo was actually peak television.

If that sounds like your kind of weird… totally follow me. 🥹🩵✨

Dixie doesn’t love having his picture taken, so naturally I had to celebrate the rare occasion when I managed to capture these. 😂🐯💛📸

Apparently the Yellow Submarine is his happy place. 😂

At this point, I’ve accepted that I live in THEIR house. They just allow me here to provide snacks, cardboard furniture, belly rubs and photography services. 🐾😂

Dixie and Dexter really do have me wrapped around their little paws. 🥹🩵
