Anxiety & Stress – My Struggles | Balance My Life & Career, Mental Health, & Finding Inspiration

Anxiety & Stress – Opening Up About My Personal Struggles | Trying To Find Balance In My Life & Career With Modeling & Youtube, Everyone Face’s Their Own Obstacles w/ Mental Health, & The Never Ending Search To Finding Inspiration | Sanne VloetHey guys,Today was really tough. I think the right word to describe today is it “sucked”. I don’t think I’ve ever said before out loud, but that goes to show that sometimes we keep our feelings down inside. I tried to film five different times and each time I started to feel anxious, self-doubt crept in, and I made myself believe that what I was doing here with this community wasn’t good enough. I shed a few tears out of frustration with myself and to try to calm down I wrote myself this letter. I know this is different than the usual, but today your comments will be a huge emotional lift so I cannot wait to read them. I realize now that when I feel alone this community is the place for me to come, for all of us to come when things just aren’t going in the perfect direction. Here’s my letter:“Sanne,It’s okay not to be okay. It’s completely fine to have a bad day once in a while and when you make mistakes you will grow from them. You rarely ever let things get to you, you’ve always been the rock for all the people in your life that you love so much. All the pressure that you feel inside is only coming from you and the people that support you in your life, community, and in your career only want you to be happy!If the price of success is your happiness than you need to re-define what success means and move towards a journey with more happiness. You have worked hard for almost two years as a model, content creator, girlfriend, and friend to the people in your life. Over the past year you have traveled non stop for modeling, you’ve made it a priority to create two videos a week, you’ve even opened up about things that you thought you never would.I know how you feel, because I hear you ask the question “why do I not feel okay”. You don’t need to have a reason for not feeling 100% right now, just be open to all the things you are feeling and remember that this feeling will go away on it’s own. Remember that sometimes a long walk, a sunset, a good workout, can make enough of a difference to change how you feel. The little things sometimes make the biggest difference.”So at this point I decided to go for a walk and I took my little camera with me to go to pilates and then called Max to come meet me near the studio I like to go to! Just by writing I started to feel better, then I felt that I could share a little bit about how I was feeling and once I finished making the little video I FELT free of the anxiety and self-doubt that had come over me all day.When I was putting my letter into typing I corrected the words I had misspelled and then I asked my friend Jason to read it over to make sure it made sense the way I wanted it too. I hope you guys are ready for a little bit of my not so perfect self. After all the sharing that we all do sometimes it’s okay to not be okay and yesterday, was one of those days.Let’s talk a little about mental health, the pressures of the world, how social media can be used more positively, and how we can make this community stronger, and more positive for all of us!This video is for all of us who sometimes feel like we aren’t strong enough or good enough. The truth is WE ARE more than enough and I just wanted to remind myself and everyone here.I love you guys so much!xxSanneFollow me!

Someone Captured Absolute Perfection In Manhattan Two Days Ago. I’m So Glad They Had A Camera.

New York is “The City That Never Sleeps” and, when you’re not getting a full eight hours of rest nightly, you end up seeing a lot of things. For better or for worse, if it exists, a New Yorker has seen it–and probably on the subway during the wee hours of the morning. Rainbows, though certainly not a common occurrence, are nothing new to NYC, so if a Manhattanite takes time out of their day to take a picture of one, you know you’re dealing with something special. And this picture of a rainbow, which Redditor cbarney took from her Midtown West balcony, is something special alright. Take a look!

Here it is!

Aaand that same view at night.

That was quick.

If, somehow, you still aren’t impressed, you should know that the picture was taken with an iPhone. I guess working with a magnificent meteorological phenomenon and The Greatest City in The World can make anyone look like a pro! Share this picture and watch even the most seasoned New Yorkers become awestruck.

When You See Where This Abandoned Island Is Located, You’ll Question Everything.

New York City is place with a lot of well kept secret places. Probably the best (or at least most interesting) of these places is North Brother Island. The island is located in the East River between Queens and the Bronx. Today, it’s completely abandoned, and nature is slowly reclaiming it.

Here it is!

Aaand that same view at night.

That was quick.

Here is North Brother Island. The island is technically located in the Bronx, but you can see the very edge of Queens there in the bottom corner.

The entire island is about 20 square acres in total.

The island was uninhabited until 1885, when Riverside Hospital moved there from Roosevelt Island.

The mission of the hospital on North Brother Island was to isolate and treat victims of small pox and other quarantinable diseases like typhoid.

Following the end of World War II, the island became home to returning veterans and their families in the midst of the post-war housing boom.

In the 1950s, the facility on North Brother Island was converted to treat adolescent drug addicts.

Treating heroin addicts was the specialty of the facility.

Upon arrival, they were usually confined to a locked room in the facility (most against their will) until their addiction was broken.

By the time the 1960s rolled around, the drug treatment facility closed down.

It’s suspected that widespread staff corruption was the cause of the shutdown.

From then on, the hospital remained abandoned, and the island uninhabited.

During the 1970s, attempts were made to sell the island to private investors, but to no avail.

It’s astonishing that no company wanted to develop the island.

Before completely abandoning the island, state officials toyed with the idea of building a prison on the island in the 1980s. The idea did not come to fruition.

Finally, the island was purchased by the City of New York.

Now it’s designated as a bird sanctuary.

Inside some of the crumbling buildings are pieces of patient art from before the hospital closed down.

It’s crazy to think this was once a bustling, modern medical center.

There are even old food items on some of the shelves.

Someone shot up this door pretty good. Scary to think what might be on the other side.

Up close.

Nature is slowly but surely reclaiming what it lost.

What remains of an old gate.

Nature is relentless when left unchecked.

In a few years time, there might not be any standing buildings left on the island.

This is the view of Manhattan from the tallest building on the island.
