I made these buttons today using the 

Cuddly Rigor Mortis & Karmalized Scraps

Bundle 157. I had the idea when I saw the 

hearts & wording to do some mental health

inspired Mantra Buttons. A lot of us are 

struggling with our mental health & I 

thought the community could use these.

For reminders when we have our bad days.

Life can be very dark at times but with help

& support, we can find our way to the light again.

 Today was rough at work.

It started off okay but then it 

just went bad. I won't get into details.

Just that I had been having a good spell.

Had my depression demon quiet too.

Was really enjoying this period of like 

something resembling happy.

But after today, it seems to be awake

or some form of consciousness again.

I can feel its tentacles reaching out to me

and invading my thoughts & emotions.

That old familiar friend has returned.

Except, its not a friend that I want to visit again.

But it won't leave. No, it just lies in wait

until you are vulnerable & pounces again.

The scar that won't fully heal as it gets

reopened again & again.

I had a brief cry today in a bathroom.

But I needed more - work summoned though.

Tomorrow is my Friday thankfully.

I'm really hoping its a better day.

Life knocks us down sometimes.

But we can't stay down. No, we stand back

up & let life know we are tough. 

That we are built to keep going

& are tougher than life.

Even if sometimes, we need the 

reminder to remember that.

Italish by Karmalized Scraps.

Indulge yourself in the oh so yummy

scrap Pinup Beach by Kizzed by Kelz.

Who says sailors can't be sexy & enjoy summer?

Not her. She loves to lay in the sun in her

off hours. The ships just do not have the 

same appeal as the beach. A girl needs

to work on her tan after all.

Warm rays & cool water to splash in.
