I can’t really remember how long I’ve been a member of the You Matter community.  I’ve been a fan of Meech since vine lol. It’s been a while and learned about the brand from Instagram.

A pivotal moment for me was getting my first hoodie! I can’t remember if it was the first round of black history month satin lined hoodies or if it was a burgundy/maroon hoodie… but I remember being so excited to finally get one and to wear it proudly. I loved when people read it - out loud - lol in my mind I’d be like “hell yeah you matter! And so do I!” My favorite piece is the black satin lined hoodie. It’s my favorite because it’s the perfect combo of “you matter comfort” and “crown protection” lol I can hide in it. I feel safe in it.

My journey with mental health has been a doozy! I can’t afford therapy so for the most part I’ve been “self helping” with resources online. It’s been quite a ride but I’m still here! So cheers to that lol. When facing tough times, I sleep. I eat. I shower. I try my best to give myself grace, and I try my best to give myself time to feel the feels. I hope for and trust that better days will come and things won’t always be the way they are. I cry when tears show up and I lean on the Lord like nobody’s business lol

Do what you can and don’t what you can’t. It doesn’t make the most sense but I dealt with some level of people pleasing, I think… I always wanted to be helpful and be there for people and would go out of my way to do so. That often left me burnt out and in the negative (mentally, financially, physically). So I learned to do what I can and NOT do what I can not do.
