Just keeping it real, plus baby chickens!

I’m not perfect, I’m just real! And sometimes sh!t just gets away from you! Like this garden bed that surrounds my chicken coop. And you know what ? That’s ok. Life happens. You are not alone and a little chaos and mess is actually REAL and normal. No one is judging you, I definitely am not. If this is the only thing I achieve today, then I am still proud of myself because no matter what happens, I keep going. Let me tell you, that’s been the hardest thing I’ve done to date and I’ve been through some sh!t. Just keep going. You’ve got this. #leafandlens #chickens #beforeandafter #gardening #mentalhealth
