I’m sorry for disappearing for 1.5+ years and not speaking with anyone. I’ve been struggling a lot with my mental health issues, but am now seeing a Psych D. (therapist) and a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I am also now on meds (hence my reappearance lol) that are helping me and improving my every day life….

Indonesian Liv is confident, strong, intelligent, motivated, charismatic, accepted…
