Hey there, friends 

You may be reading this and be one of my closest friends, or you may be someone I’ve never met who happened to find my humble little blog. Wherever you land along that spectrum, welcome ♡

First, I’d like to share some fun facts about me:

• My name is Jenny, I’m in my early thirties, and live together with my partner and doggo 

• My favorite spot in the whole world is Monterey, California

• Ben Platt, Kelly Clarkson, NF, and Blü Eyes are some of my favorite musical artists

• I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and absolutely love it here

• I actively participated in an agriculture club (4-H) from junior high throughout high school, showing all sorts of species from rabbits to horses

• I believe in raising awareness for mental health and disability rights and dismantling the stigma around those topics

Secondly, I’d like to share some background notes about me to give you a better idea of some topics I may cover here:

• I grew up with an older sibling who had severe disabilities and health conditions. She passed away in September 2011 at the start of my sophomore year in college. Growing up with her and losing her greatly impacted me

• A close family member struggled with addictions my entire life and impacted me in many ways

• After a very long journey, I have been diagnosed with OCD, cPTSD, and a form of Major Depressive Disorder

• I understand what it’s like to struggle with body image/weight and not feeling comfortable in your body

• I’ve experienced chronic migraines along with fibromyalgia for over a decade

Finally, my hopes for this blog: 

• Share bits and pieces of my story with the intention to raise awareness

• Share what I’ve learned along the way with the hope it helps others in their journeys

• Share with the hope that others feel seen and less alone
