Hello! Welcome to my blog, its very nice to meet you! My name is Mel, I am a social work student, a young adult, a wife and a Christian. This blog is about what I learn through the bit of life I am living right now, its about helping my friends and those yet to be my friends with similar issues they may be facing; and its about using my voice to help and empower the marginalised.

I have currently been married for five months now to my absolute best friend. We met through church, dated for two years, and got married right in the place we met. Joshua is a Filipino, and I am Australian, which means our relationship can stand out a bit. The fact that we have both married young, and are from different cultures means we have definitely challenged the social norm. But I wouldn't have it any other way. When you have found that right person, whatever nationality they are, why do you need bother wasting time on committing?

I also dream of writing fantasy stories, being a mother, buying a house and finishing my degree. Those are my goals and my works in progress that get me up and going each day.

But, I do suffer with High Functioning Anxiety, which can get me down some days. It can also drain me of all energy and motivation. But, though I have bad days they are becoming further and further between and I call that success!

Hope you have fun and find something to think about or something to be encouraged with here. Im here to help.

Keep on struggling,
Mel
