spread your smiles

Hello, beautiful. Thank you for being here. Let me introduce myself, I hope you feel welcome to do the same.

My name is Zélie-Louise and I am twenty-one years old. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, and self harm since I was fourteen years old.  I’m sure that many of you have unfortunately gone through similar things, and know how it feels. Sometimes it’s merely a dull pain in the background of your day, and sometime’s you’re struggling to keep your head above water. Some days you manage a smile, and other day’s you’re struggling to take your head off your pillow which is covered in tears. I know, I understand, and I’m right here, wanting to hold your hand, wanting to help you through it. I know I can’t do much, but I hope that in sharing bits and pieces of my story something can come through, if not, there’s at least that aspect of solidarity. On addition to my writings, know that I am always here if you need someone to listen.

I grew up in a beautiful and happy Catholic family where I have four sisters and one brother. I couldn’t have asked for a better childhood, really. My siblings and I have such a strong bond, and with my parents as well. My family is so supportive of me, and are aware of the journey that I’ve been on but more than anyone, God has been my supporter. He’s believed in me since the day I was conceived, since the day He knew He wanted me to be here. He was there even when no one knew I was. He is there on all the days that I stay in bed, that I cry silently behind closed doors, without anyone knowing. He’s always there, picking me up off the ground every time I fall. Knowing of His Caring Heart keeps mine looking up and hopeful.

my blog topics will range from different topics that I am personally attached to in the moment, however, I am completely open to your wishes- just send me a message if there’s anything you want me to write on.

Learn with me, talk with me, cry with me, smile with me … my inbox is always open.

We’re in this together.

Xx,

Zélie-Louise
