Less Thorns, More Roses™
The Mission
There are so many different resources that exist for individuals to seek mental health care, but depending on their lifestyle, some may run the opposite direction, even if they are in need. I wanted to create a safe haven for people to come together and find light in their dark spaces. Even if I only reach one reader, this platform is a massive success.
I am not a mental health professional. I am not writing an advice column. I am a mom, wife, and friend who is pointing out the positives in what can feel like a very negative time in someone's life. I am lending an ear and open arms for anyone who needs to be heard.
The mission is to remove the thorns and display the roses in our lives and around the world.
Join the LTMR movement and spread the love.
The
Vision
How does the LTMR diary work? Why two diary entries per post? This blog consists of posts each week presented as two diary entries of the same scenario from two different perspectives.
First perspective: an entry from an individual's point of view expressing their difficult moments they are going through. This entry will be signed as 'Me'. These entries will be evolved from personal and/or submitted stories from the audience.
Second perspective: a mirrored entry on the same scenario as above from either a child, friend, or significant other's perspective. Signed as 'Your Little', 'Your Friend', 'Your Love'. Created by LTMR.
Why both perspectives? The lens a situation is observed through can vary depending on who the lens belongs to.
This lens evolves throughout life and can be changed by every day life factors. I want to give someone that is going through a difficult time the opportunity to see their story from a different perspective, or through a different lens.
Who We Are
Who is 'Me'?:
A representation of the reader as they are today.
Who is 'Your Little'?:
A representation of a child, young family member, or a younger YOU.
Who is 'Your Friend'?
A representation of a person who is close to you (can include family members).
Who is 'Your Love'?
A representation of a person that goes through life by your side as your significant other.
