Hi! My name is Peyton Stanek, I am currently a senior in High School and will be attending Texas Christian University in the fall! Now, you might be asking, why would an 18 year old be making a blog, and to be honest, I asked myself that as well. Here’s my answer… For about 3 years I have been journaling about my life, trying to escape the reality of my mental state. Throughout all of my thoughts, happy or sad, that I have written, I wandered if maybe anyone else related to how I was feeling. So, I decided to turn my journal entry’s and advice to myself into a blog!

My hope for this blog is to have people feel understood. Whatever it may be about, I hope that by reading my thoughts, someone will feel seen. Everyone deserves to feel loved, and who better to love you than yourself, so let’s love ourselves together. This blog will give you a glimpse into my mind and my journey of loving myself more as well. This is a daily process, and I’d be happy if you’d join me!
