Mental health awareness.
As a black woman, I can say that in our community going to see a therapist or a psychiatrist is frowned upon, and it shouldn't be this way. I am not sure about your background but I am sure for Indians, Latinos also have the same stigma in their background regarding mental health.
We shouldn't carry pain or sadness that is affecting every aspect of our lives forever, you should be proud and feel compelled to go to therapy. Let's stop pretending with a smile, with beautiful pictures on social media while we are dying inside. Take some time to take care of your mental health, we should talk about it and do something about it. I have cried many times this year when I hear how many people have died by suicide and it breaks my heart that those beautiful people had so many demons that they didn't even try to find help, they hid their pain because they were too proud or maybe they felt like no one would understand! I know life is hard and covid hasn't made it easy. A lot of people have struggled badly with their mental health during covid, you shouldn't feel ashamed because you felt low or depressed. Talk about it, open up and even cry about it with other people. Don't hold the pain forever because one way or another it has to come out.
Taking care of your mental health should be a flex just like it is when you go to the gym and you post pictures on social media with your beautiful and fit body. It should be the same when you go see a therapist to become a better person so that you can improve your life. Taking medication should not be a shameful act, only ignorant people would even think taking medication to improve your mental health is pointless; that can literally save your life.
Improve your way of living, check in with a therapist and open up about your struggles. Follow the treatment plan and take it one day at a time. No one is perfect we are all carrying something, do not feel like you are the only one on this journey because most of us have some type of mental defect that we are afraid to talk about. All we can do is try to make it in this cruel world. Your overall health depends on your mental health so take care of your overall body not just on the outside but on the inside.

We are in this together.

Ukraine in tears
“ flowery fields turned into killing fields.
children are crying,
sterile grounds,
drought and death is raging the city.
how did misery win victory?”

“ loud mind,
Empty words.
Infinite affection,
Loveless touch.
Constant admiration,
Not enough bravery.
Smiling,
Broken.
Magical connection,
Bidding farewell.”

Blondes have more fun!
Upon my last post about Audrey Hepburn, I briefly mentioned Marilyn Monroe and it may look like I was bashing her or didn’t like her, but that is not the case. I still admire her but not because of her acting or for dating president John F Kennedy which was a bad idea and shun upon considering the fact that he was married to Jackie Kennedy at the time. I admire the way she handled herself despite her early hardships in her childhood, her mother suffered from schizophrenia and severe depression and she could not take care of her kids. Marilyn ended up being sent to foster care after her mother was taken to a psych ward.
She went through a lot as a child and that part of her life inspire me as well as a lot of other young women. She was being taken advantage of by her cousin and the boyfriend of one of her close family friends when she was a child. she did not finish high school, she dropped out and became a housewife? I mean it’s still weird but I guess she was trying to escape the home where she was. I honestly think that she was a very strong woman, a little frivolous but she did have a borderline personality disorder which explains her addictive behaviors and identity crisis. I still feel bad for her, she was a sad soul and she was abandoned by her parents. She had many relationships during her lifetime which shows just how much she craved being loved and she went through great lengths to achieve that but sadly she didn’t feel loved by the man in her life. She was labeled as a “sex symbol” and she actually embraced that, to be honest, I am almost sure she did not like it. But people were too focused on her body, her voice, or what she wore more than her intelligence and the fact that she was blonde did not help her case. She was incredibly smart and she wasn’t even a natural blonde she was actually a redhead.
I admire the fact that she spoke about her abuse and brought awareness to that stigma of keeping the abuser safe. She outed everyone who took advantage of her and she inspired so many young women to do the same as well. She needed to be protected but sadly she was not and she was a lost soul looking for light in a cruel world. Some People think she died by suicide because she overdose but I don’t think it was voluntary. During the time she passed away, mental health awareness wasn’t a thing; she needed to be in therapy and she needed to be put on medication but sadly people did not care about those mental health issues back then. She was beautiful and I just wish that she knew how amazing she was…

Miss little ballerina.
Since I was already talking about the people that I love and admire who are no longer living there is one more person that I can just not mention, her name is Audrey Hepburn. I also love the 1950s era but not enough to be transported back in a Time Machine because it wasn’t a great time for a woman to thrive in but still people were well mannered and they had high moral values. I call Audrey “miss little ballerina”, she was actually a ballet dancer when she was younger but she didn’t continue when she got older because she didn’t practice enough due to the tragic time of world war 2; after the war, she was too old at that point to be considered a professional ballet dancer. She went through a lot as well, being a woman born in 1929 and she was right in the middle of world war 2 she used to carry secret messages for the Dutch resistance so basically she was kind of a spy, she almost died in salvation because there was no food in the cellar she was living. It was around that same time Anne Frank was sent to a concentration camp with her family but I don’t think they’ve met. Audrey had an awful upbringing, her uncle was executed and her brother was sent to a concentration camp. She was indeed a very strong woman who went on to do amazing things, she was an incredible actress and trust me I know good acting!
Because of the war and everything she witness she became an ambassador for UNICEF to help the refugees and the starving children in Africa. The media doesn’t talk about all of her humanitarian work but they would rather focus on the scandals between her and her co-stars or compare her to Marilyn Monroe which is pathetic if you ask me, they had nothing in common.
I absolutely love her hair in a pixie cut. She is literally the cutest, I came across her for the first time when I was 16 and I had her picture on my Facebook wall from breakfast at Tiffany where she was smoking those long old fashion cigarettes in black in white. To be honest, I didn’t know her name back then and I haven’t really watched her movies just yet. I just thought she was beautiful and so fashionable. The second time I came across Audrey I was 18 or 19 and I watched her movie breakfast at Tiffany on Netflix, after that movie I immediately fell in love with her. She was very thin and petite, the same way that I was when I was 18 but the only difference is that she was tall. I felt connected to her right away when she cried in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany when she received the letter that her brother Fred had died and that he was not coming back after the war; I cried with her and little did I know that she actually went through that in real life. I fell in love more and more with her acting the older I get, I think that I’ve watched all of her movies. I love any movie that she starred in except I am not too fond of the nun story it’s too melancholic to my liking but I did enjoy it, actually that movie displayed her best acting. I still don’t understand how she can ever be compared to Marilyn Monroe! I mean I don’t hate Marilyn I just love Audrey more. She was very slimmed and Marilyn had curves but people often forget that she was thin because she had suffered from malnutrition during the war, it was not voluntary but nevertheless, she was still beautiful and elegant.
Marilyn Monroe was known for her prestigious dating life, her body and her soft whispery voice (I actually don’t like her voice but it’s still cute). Audrey was pure art! She was funny, classy, witty, her looks screamed high fashion, she was childlike yet so mature, strong and compassionate. Her voice is so beautiful ! I love her so much! She was also an empath, the world did appreciate her and everyone raved about her style. She herself didn’t think she was beautiful she thought her face looked funny, her feet were too big or that she was too tall for a lady. Can you believe it? She is one of the most beautiful actress I’ve ever seen even to this day her look is still relevant and she had the most beautiful eyebrows! She was indeed ahead of her time. She is well known for being a fashion icon and all of her hard work is admired by many including me. I own a few dvd of her movies, I want to purchase Love in the afternoon I don’t have that in my collection. But my favorite movies of hers are Sabrina, Romans holiday, funny face, breakfast at Tiffany, how to steal a million… I love her style of acting and the way she speaks. I also watch her interviews as well. She was unique in her own ways.
“Why change? Everyone has his own style. When you have found it, you should stick to it.” Audrey Hepburn.
