Carolyn Sophia Skowron always felt like an outsider. From a young age, she struggled to make friends, fit in, and be authentic. She spent most of my life internalizing every situation. She always thought people didn’t like her. Then she was diagnosed with Nonverbal Learning Disability or NVLD in her sophomore year of high school, yet she still struggled with depression and anxiety. All the things she lived through and conquered have built her into who she is today. For the longest time, my building blocks were depression, anxiety, self-doubt, and self-hatred.  After fully buying into therapy and mindfulness her building blocks are now filled with resilience, strength, adaptability, and positivity. Everyone has their building blocks as to what makes them themselves. Being self-aware and knowing your building blocks is crucial when trying to build a happy and healthy life.
