  • 🌻💚MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS 12HR STREAM💚🌻

SATURDAY 20TH MAY @10AM BST!
twitch.tv/nicolexenia

The month of May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. 

Our mental health is fundamental to our lives and, I think it's fair to say, we all struggle from time to time. So this stream is dedicated to remembering the importance of taking care of ourselves, which includes our mental health.

During this 12 hour stream we will play our usual fun-filled games however, there will also be parts of the stream dedicated to talking about mental health, the myths or misinformation we hear and strategies for how we cope in day-to-day life. 

Most importantly, mental health can be really difficult to talk about. I want to make it clear that you do not have to share anything if you don't feel comfortable. It's no secret I've struggled with my own mental health, and while it's by no means perfect I am happy to talk about my experiences, share advice I've received in the past - and if you feel that you want to do the same you are more than welcome, but it is not a requirement to join in the stream.

While it's a somewhat serious topic we will hopefully keep the majority of the stream lighthearted, but we will also keep on top of any potential trigger warnings and if you ever feel like you need to click off stream, please take care of yourselves first and foremost.
Streams always have been, and will always be, a safe space for everyone. 

Having said all that, hopefully it will be a fun-filled day and stream! 
Hopefully we'll see you there!! 💚💛

  • 🌼 Bank Holiday Slow Day 🌼 … well kinda. 

Less than a minute after the first two photos were taken I picked up my water and proceeded to drop it, spilling the water everywhere except - remarkably - onto the breakfast itself. 

Anyway, cleared it up. Got some more water and had a really lovely couple of hours. I never usually have breakfast, let alone make it look all pretty and presentable so it was a nice lil treat! 

Also found something I started writing last year and decided to type up what I’d written so far! So no new writing but I’m getting excited about this idea again 🥳

📚 Currently Reading:  A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall. 

This is a love story where we follow Lea and Gabe. 

Lea and Gabe are on the same creative writing course at college, they have the same interests and order from the same takeout places. 
Both are rather shy.
But there’s a definite spark between them.

It’s a love story.
However, it isn’t told from the perspective of the main potential couple. It’s a story from everyone else’s points of views. Their friends, their teacher, a waitress, the bus driver and barista. 
Everyone who believes these two are meant to be together and watch as this love story unfolds.

I’m only 30 pages in so far but it’s such an interesting concept and I’ve already found myself smiling at points in this book.

I think it’ll be sweet. I’ll be interested to see how much we can learn about these two when we don’t get their views on anything - except through others - but I’m excited to find out! 💞
  • 🌻I had a pretty lovely day today🌻

I played some solo Fortnite this morning. Then did my make up, for the first time in ages, to go and see a friend.

We played trivial pursuit (which I ended up winning). We then moved onto Overcooked with a takeaway, and now I’m winding down with a comfort re-read 💛

I think anyone who knows me knows I’ve been struggling with mental health stuff recently. I haven’t really wanted to do anything for a long time. Not play anything, not read, not see people or go outside, or even wanting to get up most days.

So today was nice, it made me feel pretty good and makes me think that maybe I’m starting to get back to feeling more myself again ❤️💛

I hope everyone is doing alright! Check in with yourselves, take care of yourselves and be kind to yourselves!🌻❤️💛

(p.s. don’t ask me how long it took to get 3rd in Fortnite. There were many games, and I think it was a fluke, but damn it I’ll take it!)
  • Meeting my soon-to-be goddaughter Elsie for the first time today ❤️💛
  • A few scattered photos and memories from 2022 which I didn’t post at the time 📸❤️💛
