FAQ

Q: How old are you?
A: I'm twenty-four.

Q: Where do you live?
A: Hold your left hand straight out in front of you, palm facing away. That's the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Between the proximal inter-phalangeal joints on your index and middle fingers, that's where I live. Or just look up the Huron National Forest; I'm somewhere in there.

Q: Do you have a job?
A: I'm a florist and greenhouse attendant.

Q: Are you dating/married?
A: It's currently just lil ol' me.

Q: Why did you begin this blog?
A: It'll be an outlet for me to share my lifestyle and give tips to those interested in following a gentler, healthier, and eco-conscious path. I'll be sharing plenty of cruelty-free and vegan inspiration. I also have a heart for people who are hurting. I wanted to have an honest, open place to share my experiences with others who are going through or have lived through similar pain. It's both a healing tool for myself and a way of "paying it forward" with respect for those who helped me.

Q: What "hurting/pain" are you talking about?
A: PTSD, Depression, Social Anxiety Disorder (scars from harassment and sexual assault)

Q: Is this why you're an avid supporter of To Write Love On Her Arms?
A: Yes! I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by parents and siblings who love me and some incredibly cherished friends... but not everyone has such an expansive support circle. My parents drove me to therapy (nearly 2 hours away) for a few years, sometimes as often as twice a week. I feel like myself again, happy and healthy, and it's because I was helped. I wasn't alone. I want to make sure no one is alone in their pain. I want to make sure that everyone, no matter their circumstances, knows that there is hope. Hope is real.
