August was not all I'd hoped, last month, it could be. Things were not really any less hectic – just differently so – and I've been struggling with my mental health.
Still, I am trying my best to offer myself patience and compassion. And trying to at least recognize, if not celebrate, even the smallest wins.
So, here are this month's small wins:
- I wrote an essay, "I Appreciate My Scars," and it was chosen for further distribution on Medium
- I made a graphic to share on social media
- I continued my #NoticedMoments series on Instagram
- I kept up with my efforts for Visible Bi+
- I finished a new poem for an upcoming event and turned it in the day before the deadline
- I am writing this #WIPWednesday post on time
My hopes for September are very much the same as my hopes were for August – especially to finally start to feel like myself again, physically and mentally. And, as ever, I will try to offer myself patience and compassion along the way.
