on mental health: sometimes I feel like either my anxiety or depression can get the better of me; it truly depends on the day, the season, and circumstances. but what I always find interesting about it is when they morph from one to the other. I will say though, that my tendency to be over-analytical does help me in life, with my job, my art, and understanding people. so I guess I can’t say it’s all bad. and the depression (which honestly is kind of a new addition to the mix since turning 30✨) helps me to take a beat after running on fumes. guess it really is a ‘balancing act.’
