welcome to the club.

and by club, I mean my mental health blog!

if you're here, I hope you are doing well and if not, I hope that I can help you out(:

first off, let's get to know each other. If you haven't visited my about me page, you can do that, or you can just continue reading and I'll tell you about myself. (if you've already read the about me page, you can skip ahead).

anyways, hi! my name is Loryn. If you don't know me personally, I am a 20-year old, living in North Central West Virginia. I am a Junior at Fairmont State University, studying Psychology with a minor in General Business. I just recently moved in with my boyfriend Alex and we are about to celebrate our three year anniversary coming up here soon!! We also recently got a puppy named Draco! he is almost a year old and our shared best friend. I work at Starbucks one day a week, but also work at a nonprofit organization.

my goal in life is to eventually become a therapist and actually have a degree that goes along with my passion. to be specific, my passion is being nice to people and standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. I tend to be someone who is soft-spoken and quiet, but I am willing to stand up for what I think is right.

I have this saying that I am not sure where I found, but that I try to live by, "be yourself as long as it's not harming someone or something." So, to me, it doesn't matter what you believe in, who you follow, or who you choose to love, if you're nice to me, I'm gonna be nice to you. There's too much hate in the world already, I'd rather make someone's day by being nice to them than create more of an issue.

often times, people can hide what they are going through and many people don't even know that they are hurting. through this blog, I want to give those struggling a place to feel safe and come to when they are feeling down.

So if you ever find yourself in a dark place and need someone to talk to, I will always be here to help(:

anyways, with that being said, Welcome! I'm glad you are here.

This week is a very important week, it's Mental Health Awareness Week! Since I am just starting my blog I think that this works perfect! This week (mon-fri) I'll be posting a blog per day about the different aspects of mental health and hopefully help someone who is going through a hard time.

thanks for being here, I hope you stick around!

xx Loryn
