HI! I’M Justina

pronounced you-stee-nah

LET’S talk about everything!

Welcome to my blog where I explore my mental health and the experiences that I have lead me to who I am today.

Tune in to join me as I explore the many parts in my brain, and relate them to work, running, family, and much more.

Love Stories, Day 6

I laughed hysterically as steam rose off my shaking body. It was the funniest thing I’d ever seen, and I couldn’t understand why my hiking companions weren’t equally as tickled. The muscles in my calves convulsed and rainwater pooled under the bench I was sitting on. My hands shook as I tried to eat a snack, but everything was too damn funny.

Love Stories, Day 4

When I crossed the finish line of my first marathon I did not have love in my heart. For 26.2 miles, I carried a heavy load of pain and heartbreak and crossed that finish line dehydrated, disheartened, and done with running. Next to me, my dad crossed the finish line with an easy smile and the pride that only a parent can have when their child completes something totally out of their depth.

Mental HeAlth

I Like Mozart

The late April sun beat down on me as I stood in line on the hot asphalt. I was not used to the humid and sticky Connecticut spring compared to the chilly Lithuanian weather. Sweat trickled down my legs as I shifted uncomfortably in my tights, my long blonde hair stuck to the back of my neck, and my stiff dress shoes pinched my feet.
