Hello lovelies, I am Cassandra. I thought I would include an “about me” for anyone who cares to read it. I am a twenty-something wild hearted girl who you can often find barefoot and/or by water. I am a lover of travel, cooking, sunsets, beaches, aromas & well, heaps of sh*t. I have a corporate job and can often be found nestled in my casa in the Fraser Valley. 

Ever since I can remember I have always had a love of writing. My favourite activities in school were always the things that required writing. In 2015 after losing my courageous, darling mum I started to use writing as therapy. I created an outlet for me where I felt safe and comfortable to express my thoughts. Somedays it would help somewhat organize them when everything felt unmanageable. I also found I often felt alone and like no one could relate of no fault of their own. I was 23, the majority of my friends hadn’t even lost a grandparent yet, let alone their mumzi. That was something I wanted to prevent from occurring to someone else, so I created “life by Cassandra – a journey of the grieving soul“. I wanted to expose myself. I wanted to share the emotions and experiences I was having in hopes of normalizing everything to myself and maybe someone else one day. I personally crave comfort in situations where I feel unease so I wanted to provide that for someone else. That’s what my mum provided for me, comfort. Most importantly, I wanted someone, anyone, to know they are not alone and never will be in what they are experiencing.  

Writing started to feel like a chore, and life got busy so I stopped. Years have gone by and my intention has always been to continue to write and share even if no one reads. So here I am again, feeling ready to share my experiences as I dig deeper into myself. I still have the same intentions, to share my own journey of healing and growth. It’s a journey that in my opinion never ends and will always continue as I feel more comfortable with digging deeper inside myself. I respect this journey, as hard as it can be sometimes more than anything.

I am still the same honest, grammatically incorrect rambler. I am still going to over-share sh*t that the majority of people probably don’t give a damn about but maybe one person will. My intent still remains the same; you are never alone & emotions don’t make you weird they make you HUMAN. My purpose for “life by cassandra” is just to normalize healing and remind everyone that life can be both good & bad at times and hopefully, provide comfort to someone. If all else fails, I have provided an outlet for me and can look back and view my growth. Win-win if you ask me. 

Follow me as I:
– become the healthiest, happiest me
– laugh at myself and others
– learn and try new things that push my comfort zone
– travel to different places and experience different cultures
– accomplish goals (i’m a procrastinator)
– learn how to deal with grief and most importantly to find who I am, again.

 

So, cheers to another journey together babes, bros & anyone in between. Xx
