    Surviving Capitalism: A Primer on What School Doesn’t Teach You

    May 7, 2022

    I’ve been silent for a while after graduating in 2019. I thought that I would become firm in my values and identity in undergrad, however now that I am 3 years post-graduation, I realize that my growth was only beginning. There are identity structures that fell away, and others that are beginning to take their…

    Dear Recent Grad: It’s OK to Slow Down

    November 24, 2019

    I’m a recent grad with a Health Sciences degree who is facing difficulties with slowing down. Does there need to always be something I am working on? Do I need to always be working on all of my projects? Keeping on top of everything? Growing and improving in measurable ways? It feels like my mind…

    Break the Habit of Dissatisfied Self-Talk with One Word

    June 4, 2018

    This will likely be a gear shift from what you are used to on my blog. For the last while, I’ve been spending a lot of my time focusing on positivity, good vibes, and self-exploration through activities and changes in actions. However, fundamentally, how we self-talk can filter and dictate everything we do, think, and…

    What is the meaning of life?

    October 3, 2017

    So…I was hospitalized again. A couple weeks ago, I went into another mood bungee jump and ended up in the hospital. At first, I thought it came out of nowhere. I even thought I was ‘missing something’ in my recovery process, since I kept cycling between typical and atypical function. As I reflected, I saw…

    Comparisons don’t make sense

    August 24, 2017

    We are human. We learn by observing others. It is natural to look at another person and assess their behaviours against our own. In some ways, this can help us to become a greater person than yesterday. But I do not think I am alone in the fact that oftentimes, comparisons can become self-destructive. So…

    Are emotions you? Are your thoughts you? What makes you…you?

    May 21, 2017

    Sometimes people ask me what depression and anxiety is like. There are a myriad terms that can be used to describe it, but the best analogy I have found yet is that of a theatre performance in your mind. In my own mind, there is always a drama troupe putting on grandiose shows featuring rampant…

    Imperfectionism in a perfectionistic society…

    March 25, 2017

    One topic that really gets me going is the state of our current educational system. It currently rewards students who follow the rules and guidelines of the system to a T, and does not allow for any freedom to explore true passions. All my life I have felt that I was being pushed forward on…

About Me

Hiya, I'm Nicole!

I’m a post-health sci undergrad navigating her next season of life. I believe that in this chaotic life, we must practice embracing imperfections and being kinder to yourself! This is the imperfectionism lifestyle.

📧 I write about life musings and developments in my mental health journey.

🧠 I enjoy Notion a lot, and share Notion Templates that help me process life.

🎥 I talk about life as a 20-something in current times on TikTok & maybe YouTube.

Life is unpredictable, It changes with the seasons Life is unpredictable,
It changes with the seasons,
Even your coldest winter,
Happens for the best of reasons,
And though it feels eternal,
Like all you’ll ever do is freeze,
I promise spring is coming,
And with it, brand new leaves.
~ e.h (not my poem)

This has been a comfort to me in this turbulent period of my life. I keep this near me as a reminder that spring is coming, no matter what. 🌸
