i started my own journey back in high school when i was struggling a lot with my mental health. i felt lost, depressed, unmotivated, and i didn’t know who i was and what my purpose was. i knew something had to change.

that’s when i started to spend more quality time with myself through journaling — hence the name, journalbymoon. i learned to sit with my emotions, process my thoughts, and eventually become a friend to myself.

this habit led to many more healthy habits, such as making my bed in the morning, exercising, nourshing my body with good food, reading self-help books, and more.

over a long time of building these habits, my mental health improved immensely and i started to really love life. at that time, when i was 16, i wrote in my journal saying that when i grow up, i want to create my own blog about self-love and inspire at least one person — and here we are years later.

i am still learning, making mistakes, growing, and ultimately, a human. i am simply here to share my journey.

my hope is that journalbymoon becomes a safe space for people to learn to find peace and motivation to love themselves and others.
