hi everyone!!

It's nice to meet you all!

I found this online and was really hesitant to join, but I finally got some guts and decided to join and introduce myself c:

My name is Mina, and I'm a uni student. I struggle very much with depression, loneliness and self-isolation, but I try to manage and move on to the next day. But lately I have not been feeling the best and myself, and I guess it's cause I haven't talked to someone in a very long time, and many people in my life have really hurt me with such hurtful words, so I wanna forget that and move on.

Sometimes, I think life is really a struggle, especially for someone who isn't given anything and everything, and I don't have any emotional support in my life. I'm not really sure how I made it this far, but I'm curious about the future, I guess?

What I like to do? Read! and re-watching my favourite cartoon shows like gravity falls and svfoe! (ofc many more but dont wanna bore you guys with my list) and sitting in a cafe with a drink and journal (helps too)

I feel like reading a book that is deep really helps guys so i recommend picking up a really good one that connects to you. I finished recently Babel by R.F Kuang and The Outsiders by S.E Hinton and I have been thinking about them a lot (helps a lot to keep my mind busy).

Anyways...have a good day everyone!

    Hi @eylah !

    Cheese is a must! c: It makes the pasta even more tasty. What kind of cheese do you use? Like mozzarella or cheddar?

    And omg what a coincidence, I just moved flats 2 weeks ago and I am trying to settle in, but it still feels all new to me and I am nervous cause I don't want my loneliness to make it even worse for me ;-;

    But good luck with moving into your new flat, and I hope everything goes well if you do happen to do that :3<3 . (Decorating it with an autumn theme makes it more exciting.)

    hi @eylah !!

    Thanks for the cheese recommendation, really helped when I was shopping which cheese to pick ahah, but i spent the day studying and making pasta after our last message!

    Yaay im glad we are here virtually c: and ikr living alone sometimes can suck a bit ;-; I just hope to fight off this feeling.

    Also I hope you do and u get the flat that is meant for you! <3

    The candles is a must to get soon, I think i saw some pumpkin spice candles in TK Max and they looked adorable and ofc smelled so nice, might get it soon!

    Hope u are having a lovely evening :3

    Hey @mina910 it's lovely to meet you and also welcome to the mix. I too also love cartoons as well, I'm particularly found of more indie youtube style animations including Glitch productions especially The Amazing Digital Circus. Reading is so fun as well too, I struggle with my focus mainly but Babel I actually got and I want to start reading it properly rather than just browsing through the pages. Also a fellow music conisseur as well :).

    Se ding you big hugs,

    Amy22 <3
