Growing Pains serves as a personal and introspective outlet where I write my experiences, insights, and reflections. I explore themes of self-discovery, mental health, and personal growth, offering others a window into the idiosyncrasies that accompany living both far away and close to home in my twenties, and how each brings it’s own challenges. By sharing my heart, I hope to normalize the uncertainties that many young people face and build a sense of community. Growing pains is for those who are simply figuring it out as they go; there’s more of us than you think.
