Welcome to my blog! The past few days I've been struggling. I can't focus in school, my grades are dropping, i'm losing friends, and overall my mental health is not good. I hope things get better. After going to therapy today, my therapist gave me a suggestion to start doing arts and crafts! As if that will help! 🙄

Hey guys! Today at therapy my therapist asked me if I had tried to craft yet? Whatever that's about! It sounds so dumb! That crafting can fix my suffering. I told her I would think about it, and do some research about it. I will keep y'all updated.

Hey guys! The painting is finally done! I feel much more happy and more energized. Maybe this craft thing is working. I will try more and test the theory. I told my therapist and she said to keep it up!

Hey guys! I did some research on the theory and it turns out this is pretty common! The Unexpected Benefits of Crafting article states that regardless of the of what craft it is, it can boost your self confidence, mental health, and stress overall! Hopefully I will se more progress!

Hey guys! It's been a week and by doing a craft once a day, I truly feel happier. Therapy sessions have been shorter and my energy lasts longer! I smile more and fill the room with laughs. Crafting is great and if you struggle like I do, I encourage you to try this out!
