We are the environment for each other... I do not believe that mental health issues are in the individual - they are societal issues that affect some people to a degree where they cannot cope anymore and need support. Changing the environment for a human being is so much more complex than changing the environment for a plant. It's overwhelming to begin to think about. So it's easier to make the individual responsible for their own emotional well-being... I know I have had to make choices as an individual to change my environment but I could not have done this without support and guidance and role models. Unlike a plant I can take my two feet and go. I can move to a different environment but I need to know what I was looking for. I needed people around me to share with me what is possible - how my world and my life could be. I needed kindness so that I could figure out how to be kinder to myself. I needed others to have the courage to trust me so that I could learn to trust myself. I needed to feel valued for my contributions to other people's lives so that I could find belonging. We cannot expect people to change if we don't create a world worth changing for... We are each others environment. We change together... #mentalhealth #communitydevelopment #peersupport #kindness #trust #hsp #socialinjustice #recovery #nomanisanisland #highlysensitiveperson #inequality #individualism #socialresponsibility

Apparently this is a Danish thing.... I never knew. Not sure any of my Danish friends and family will know about this. The wonders of living abroad and finding out how others perceive the country you grew up in. And how it portrays itself to the rest of the world. Exporting hygge and branding itself as happy and super environmentally aware... #wonders #livingabroad #immigrant #denmark #danish #december #christmasconfusion #traditions
Possibly one of the best discoveries I made in 2018 - the art of @charliemackesy on Instagram 💜 Every time he posts one of these it's like a warm blanket around my heart. Art that makes us think and question our way of doing things is great but when art makes me feel more gentle towards myself I can't help but have hope for the world. #smallpleasures #tryingtolivelifegently #selfcompassion #sensitivity #hope #inspiration
