sad but rad adventures

in the socially awkward (but always earnest) pursuit of joy and self-growth


hi, my name is  kristel

and I have clinical depression.

For my mental health and wellness, I’m documenting my yearlong pursuit of joy and self-growth.

To keep me focused and accountable, I made myself a list. And I’m going to spend this year working through these items and reflecting on what comes up for me in the process.

I hope you’ll join me.

This is Sad But Rad Club.
