The Root

Oh, hello there😊

Welcome to my corner of the internet: Brown Sugar Bruises.

I’m Monica!;

A Canadian-Guyanese born in ’96, sailing through life as a chronic overthinker who grapples with anxiety/depression, and struggles with verbal expression.

For the longest time, I chased what I thought I wanted and set the pen aside. But now that I am out of toxic environments, I am starting to rediscover my voice and have decided to pick the pen back up.

Through research and understanding, psychological viewpoints, and with a touch of philosophy, I am reclaiming my strength and independence while finding comfort in expressing all that I’ve been through.

I created Brown Sugar Bruises as my personal haven, a safe space where I can unload my thoughts, emotions, and indulge in self-reflection. Here, I will be prioritizing self-care and honesty.

You will find stories from my past and present, healing and growth, photography and creative expressions, and maybe a few moments that feel like your own.

Come experience this journey with me as I escape the ordinary.

With love and anticipation,

Monica ♥

Happy Reading! 😊
