#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2017 : Hold On, please.

❤ It's Mental Health Awareness Week this year and it's a great opportunity for people who can use their platforms to spread awareness about how important it is to be aware of your mental health and to get help if you need it, now. I'm not going to ramble for long because this is a …

How much do you REALLY matter though?

SPOILER ALERT- More than you think you do. - We're constantly doubting and underestimating our self-worth and the impact we can have on people and the world.

The Blogger Recognition Award!

We were nominated for The Blogger Recognition Award! Thank you, Gracie! (you can find her here! https://graciechicksblog.wordpress.com) There's a hilarious reason for why this post is so late- well, Shruti found out about the award nomination, replied to Gracie's comment, and being a little inexperienced with blogs, didn't realise that she'd have to do a blog …

I need my space too

  I am a living, breathing human being. I have a mind that can think for itself, a heart that beats for itself, and a will that shows me which path I must take. I can see what is right for me, and I know that what I want now is morally righteous- for if …
