Started in December of 2018, 'qualm down' is a personal blog dedicated to bringing its readers a fresh outlook on life. My hope is that this space motivates you to be yourself, aspire to greatness, think outside the box, and get out of your comfort zone!

All my life, I have enjoyed various creative outlets. Dancing, painting, drawing, singing, acting, you name it. I especially loved to write. Extroverted and curious by nature, I knew I loved engaging with others. I also knew I loved to express myself through language. But I never thought to combine these passions until 2017.
Turning my dreams into reality was not easy. Prioritizing my mental health prevented me from starting my blog for over a year. Focused largely on wellness and self-care during 2018, I began to write more, finding it therapeutic. I also began reading more blogs to discover my style. One thing I noticed was the need for fresh content. Lifestyle blogs typically feature travel, food, fashion, etc. but sometimes fail to include wellness, especially controversial topics like mental health.
Wellness โ both inside & out โ is key to success, and mental health is no exception. Many people consider mental health issues to be taboo, but I believe we should end the stigma! For this reason, I have decided to write about a variety of topics that matter to me, and yes, that includes self-care and wellness.
I am overjoyed that my lifestyle blog will feature posts on both traditional and unconventional topics, as the whole point of a blog is to share an authentic glimpse into my life! Now that I have overcome my worries & doubts, or qualms, I am proud to begin this journey. Entitled 'qualm down,โ the name of my blog is a nod to anyone who finds the courage to dream big & conquer their fears.

Happy reading โจ๐ซ๐
