I feel like I may have jumped the gun on ya’ll and I apologize for that! I never introduced myself so here I am to do just that!! I will hopefully give you some answers and insight to why this is such an important journey to me!
My name is Malayna Enstad, I am 27 years old and from Minneapolis, Minnesota. (burrrrrr, I know!) My favorite color is purple. My favorite thing in the world is coffee. I’m a true Gemini. My biggest dream is to inspire people because words of affirmation is my love language!
I struggled to communicate with my voice unless I was so angry I would just explode. I began writing when I was a Junior in High School for therapy reasons and it was the only form of self-care to calm a full blown panic attack. I would write quotes, stories, “diary” like entries to help cope in those hard times where life just felt so dark and uneasy. It then turned into affirmations and positivity to curve the negativity and clear my mind and heart. It became a ritual before bed, I would be up for hours and hours writing. The communication outside of the paper, was still undeniably difficult. I felt as if people should be able to read my mind. Which I knew was not a possibility. I made it my mission to continue to grow and communicate although I knew it would not be easy. Everyday is a struggle but I will continue to do my absolute best as that’s all I can do anyway!
I wish I could tell you my life has been peaches and cream, but there’s no such thing! I am all about the realness and raw story of life. I am here to share the positives and negatives of my experiences in hopes to help you in similar situations or make things a little easier. I want to remind you that you aren’t alone and the time will come when you are ready to share your stories.
We will be diving into the deep end of self esteem issues, family dynamics, family history and breaking the patterns, love vs. lust, mental health, many types of abuse and so much more. Going forward, if you have any questions or would like a certain perspective, shoot me a message and I can reply individually or as a whole entire blog post! I know how disheartening it can be to talk about pain, grief and just pure heartbreak. That’s not what I want this to be about, although it will be talked about, that is not my main focus! My biggest goal here is to find similarities and to write in a way that is pure, kind and helpful.
This is guaranteed 100% to be a SAFE SPOT. There will never be judgement only help. There won’t be any hate, it’s all love. Stories will be shared, tears will be shed, smiles will be had. This is a safe haven and a healing corner. Communication is key here and I plan to be completely transparent with all of you, and that’s my personal pinky promise! If you want to stay updated on my work, want to know when I plan to post or just stay connected I will leave my platforms below for you to check out!
