Behind Just B.

It’s a little bit surreal that I’m actually putting this out in the world. Just B. a blog about being yourself, loving yourself, and putting that love back out into the universe.

Writing has always been therapeutic for me. I’m an anxious person so I don’t like confrontation nor am I good at it, but writing has always been a way for me to get my thoughts and feelings out into the world where they can’t eat me alive. I’m hoping that through sharing my own experiences I can bring some light into your day, your hour, a couple of minutes, or even your outlook on something… whatever it may be. I’ve wanted to do this for a while now because since the beginning of this pandemic we ALL have had so much access to so many things, and unfortunately there’s been so much bad, but there has been some good and I want to be part of it. Even if what I’m sharing isn’t necessarily “good”, if it helps you or gives you a little bit of peace, laughter, anything then I think that’s good enough.

With all that being said, I don’t know how much I’ll post, how often, or what exactly I’ll talk about. It might be a slow start, maybe it will never take off I’m not sure, but I appreciate everyone who will show up and read the only blog post I put up here; or the 100 blog posts that I write. Whatever it is, I’m glad you are here, and I appreciate your support.

Here’s a little more about me to give you an idea about what may be on my mind:

• I’m a new mother to a beautiful baby girl, Margo Jane.
• I work a demanding corporate job, one which I now balance with being a full-time mom – thanks pandemic.
• I have struggled with depression and anxiety since a young age; and I’m currently navigating through postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety.
• Mental health issues run on both sides of my family.
• Not sure if I’m a diagnosed empath but I’m at least half.
• I’m a quietly outspoken extroverted introvert; yes, they do exist.
• I’m very emotionally in touch with myself and I thank years of past and present therapy!
• My physical appearance, body image, and other people’s perception of those things have always been contributors to my anxiety and self esteem.
• I struggle with religion
• I believe in equal rights for e v e r y o n e
• I’m a huge goofball and I love to make people laugh – sarcasm is a second language of mine, but I try to avoid using it when writing to avoid misunderstanding.
• I have a very strong relationship with my parents and family, and I can honestly say that I’ve got some of the best friends in my corner.

Love, B.
