Live Loud: Taking a mental health break

Dear Pennies & Pens, 

In this post/vlog, Live Loud: Taking a mental health break, I talk about why I’m taking a mental health break and the importance of health. 

Ya girl has been going thru it, Pennies & Pens. Lately, I just haven’t been feeling well mentally and I was too scared to admit it. But I’m finally ready to get my life together by taking a mental health break. 

I’m going to travel to visit family then when I return to Dallas, I’m going to start freelance writing so I don’t have to go back to a traditional 9 to 5. I’m just over working for someone else full time.

I don’t have an official plan of action but I am ready to admit that part of the reason my mental health hasn’t been good is because I don’t like working traditional jobs. 

It stifles my creativity because I have to do what I’m told and that just doesn’t work for my personality. I’m a free spirit, a person who needs to come and go as they please. Plus I love traveling and you can’t do that with a full time job. You have to wait until you have PTO plus save cash for the trip, it’s just a lot.
