Hello

Hi there, I'm Jowita!

My intention with this site is to bring awareness to topics that are relevant to my life and my growth as a young adult trying to navigate through this often chaotic world. The last few years of my life required a lot of emotional and intellectual strength. Strength that I didn’t know I had. 

After enduring some major life changes, from a career failure, to continuous family drama, to a heart wrenching break-up, I not only became clinically depressed, but lost trust in others and most importantly, I lost myself. I was in a very dark place and as much as I tried to, “power through it”, and “suck it up”, which were my learned go-to techniques, I couldn’t shake it and I had no idea why. I didn’t want to bring others down by complaining, so I kept it to myself. I tried to push away negative feelings and emotions the only way I knew how; by ignoring them or distracting myself with people or other external things.

Cleary, this didn’t work. It never does. It amplified the pain. It wasn’t until I discovered that everything begins with me. As uncomfortable and painful as it was, I went inward. With the help from many beautiful human and spiritual beings, motivational literature, and simply being out in nature, I have been able to crawl out of that dark abyss and emerge stronger than I ever thought I’d be. I gained so much from this journey that I knew I wanted to share it, but also provide myself a place for continued growth, which boy oh boy, I still have so much more growth to do.

So, here I am; embracing vulnerability, accepting what is and surrendering to love. 

I am grateful to have this public platform and genuinely hope you find this site, appropriately named Sincerely Jowita, to be meaningful, relevant, and uplifting.
