I’ve been on a hiatus. But Why?

Dealing with death can be difficult, and I’m speaking from experience. I had never lost someone so close to me up until now.

Valentine’s Day we got a phone call saying my grandfather had passed away. Seeing him lay there was upsetting, but it was also something i could not control. He’s at rest now, he is finally RESTING. All of the suffering is finally gone

RIP GRAN 🤍

... Read moreDealing with loss is a profound experience that many face at some point in their lives. Grief can manifest in various ways and often leaves an indelible mark on our emotions and daily routines. Understanding that everyone grieves differently is vital to achieving emotional wellness. Support groups, therapy, and open conversations with friends or family can provide a safe space to explore feelings and seek comfort. On platforms like Lemon8, sharing your personal narrative of loss can resonate with others who may be experiencing similar situations. Engaging with community hashtags, such as #restinheaven, creates a sense of connection among those grieving. When we voice our emotions regarding loss, we not only honor our loved ones but also pave the way for healing. Tools like journaling can be instrumental in processing grief, allowing individuals to sort through their emotions at their own pace. Remember, it's okay to take time for oneself. Search for resources about coping mechanisms, like engaging in art, writing, or physical activity, which can help channel feelings effectively. Remember, it's essential to allow yourself to feel and not rush the healing process; every individual's journey is unique.

Why I Joined Lemon8 🍋🥰

Hi everyone! Sorry for the card deck hiatus, I’ve had a very hectic past few weeks. I got a full time job, so my plate has definitely been full. I work in person a few days a week, so I decided I definitely needed some cute decor for my cubicle. I was browsing pinterest and found these super cu

Let me be clear— 32 is NOT old. But depending on how you lived your 20s, by the time you hit your 30s… some things just don’t hit the same. I was definitely outside in my 20s, and I’m grateful for that. I did what I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it. But now? The fun looks different. I’m curr

one of my main goals for this year was to read more books, but a couple months went by and I didn't read at all! I knew I needed to get out of this slump... so I decided to take advantage of my weird obsession with journaling and documenting things and I started my very own reading journal!
