Aspire to inspire - Let me introduce myself
Well hello there and welcome to my page!
I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Steemit community.
To give you a little bit of an insight on who I am, my name is Sabrina and I am a 21 year old french Canadian girl living in Montreal! My purpose in this world is to make a significant difference into people's lives. We live in a society designed in a way to make us feel depressed and I could spend hours talking about this because mental health has played a big role in my life as I have been struggling with a psychotic depression for many years. Luckily, after 3 years of battling it, I somehow managed to find my way out of the depts and began to see clarity again! I could make a whole other post devoted to that since it's something so close to my heart. This actually leads me to talk about my absolute favourite thing in the world, which is also the main reason that I got out of my depression...
Running! I have been involved in all kinds of sports since my young age. From AA soccer, to basket-ball, to being a ballet dancer, being an athlete is something that is in my blood! For the past couple of years, I decided to focus only on running. I was a competitive track&field runner for a long time, but 3 years ago, I decided to ditch the tracks and start doing it for fun, without the heavy pressure that comes with competitions and all. And it's hands down the best decision I have ever made! Catch me if you can!
Working out is only one side of the medal... Controlling what you put in your plate for the next 24 hours is the real challenge! And slowly but surely, I'm starting to master it. I would love to do a ''What I eat in a day'' type of post! What do you guys think? I could also incorporate organic foods because I really noticed a difference from eating only natural foods.
When I'm not doing all of that jazz... I like to pretend Im a model....
No but for real I was only trying to show off my brand new Lacoste sneakers!!
Thanks so much guys for taking the time to read my first post!
Stick around to see if I can fulfill your healthy lifestyle fix!
Much love,
Sab

Hi Sabrina @steemityourway. I live in Ontario but grew up loving Montreal. Maybe because I love the Habs so much.
Anyways, welcome to Steemit! :)
Omg hi!!! No way youre the first Montrealer I find on here!! Go Habs go;)
Oh where about are you in Ontario? I was in Etobikoe last summer! Love it over there!! Its my forever road trip destitation! I went to Elora quarry and Scarborough bluffs, I miss it already haha! And thanks so much!! @freeinthought
I am in Northern Ontario but grew up in Southern Ontario. Now I live in Sudbury. There's a lot of French Canadian in Sudbury (about 30-40% I'd say are francophone or fully bilingual).
I've been a Habs fan though all my life. Ever since the old Quebec / Montreal rivalry days.
No way I had no clue there was such a high percentage of francophones! Thats crazy! Do you speak any french then?;) @freeinthought
No unfortunately I don't. I'm an implant from Southern Ontario where you don't see French too much.
But we enrolled our children all in the French school board from the start and they are fully bilingual.
It's important to me that I make sure my children can speak both Canadian languages, even if I can't so well; n'est ce pas?
Awww wow well said, and thats amazing that you do so with your kidoos! I would do the exact same! Being bilingual is definetly an extra asset especially when it will be time for them to look for jobs!:) @freeinthought
Congrats on finding Steemit, and what a great first post. Simply wow 😳 ... Please keep posting and don't leave!
Omg that is so nice of you to say!:) Thanks a bunch!!!:)
Running helps me a lot too, whenever I get that build up of anxiety and my thoughts turn negative - a run always balances it out! I go running with a group in my village every Tuesday, up into the hills and back. :)
Wow thats amazing! It helps so much with anxiety for sure! Where are you from thats so cool! I used to be part of a team as well, its so much fun.
I'm from the North of England, a little village about half an hour on the train from Manchester. Yeah it's great because you don't get bored, there's always someone to keep up with so it spurs you on. I've only been running with the group for about 2 months but I'm so glad I discovered it!
Oh cool! One love for my british people!:) Thats so true! It helps so much because theres always someone that runs at your pace and you can push eachother to test your limits. Thats awesome, good for you!:)
I just tipped all your comments to get you some extra $$, haha. I'm going away for a few days so I don't need the voting power. So good luck on Steemit, I know you'll do well. And I'll help you as much as I can! =)
Youre so nice! Thanks so much! Looking forward to hear back from you!:)
Great introductory post!
It's very refreshing to see someone be so open as you, even about your mental illness. I had to look up Psychotic Depression because I didn't know how that differed from regular depression. Smart of you for ditching the competition aspect of sports, I wrestled for 13 years (Age 5-18) so I know all about competition. I still like wrestling to this day and have all the gear and a 10X10 ft mat in my house :)
I am thankful that you got introduced to Steemit and stuck around. Steemit is seriously the best. I love it here too! I bookmarked all your posts that I haven't read (266 to be exact). Steempeak surprisingly handles that many bookmarks like a champ so I am ready to rock and roll now haha. Buckle up!
Oh one more thing. I thought of you with this song concerning your depression. It's called Rescue Me from one of my favorite bands 30 Seconds to Mars. The front man Jared Leto describes the song as:
I hope you like it :)
I can't put in words how blessed and lucky I felt when I saw that you commented on this post. My very first one on this platform. Are you an absolute sweetheart or an absolute sweetheart?💜😘
As for the psychotic depression, first you're way too cute to have googled it up.
In fact, my psychiatrist at the time gave me this diagnosis. It may sound scary a lil but the psychotic part is essentially because I had very intense irrational fears at the time that would prevent me from functioning on a daily basis. I believe (but I'm not 100% sure) that I addressed them in some of my early posts on here, but yeah one of the main ones was that I'd fear being sexually assaulted everywhere I went. Also, I was so scared there'd be attacks on public transportation so I had to stop taking it for a while and in the meantime I stopped going to school. Very dark and hectic time of my life.
Seriously super cool that you are wrestling!! I'd love a wrestlebrina lol:P
It's a shame because I've told myself many years ago that I would sign up to self defense courses of some sort to gain mad confidence and not be scared of anything.
You should post on that. I'd love it!
I remember many years ago I dated a guy who was a pro jiu jitsu and he made me lose consciousness for 10 seconds or so LOL cuz he tried on me a technique. It was pretty impressive:P
Sorry for this long reply lol:P
But thank you so so much for doing this! You have no idea how much it means to me! I even told the people close to me! It doesn't happen everyday to meet such cool and sweet people like you seem to be!
I adore Steemit so much! Writing on here is a passion for me! In all honesty, it's rare that I find people who are truly genuine on here and are not on it for the monetary rewards, and it makes me super happy that you found my profile and that I found yours because you post epic content! And it's not everyday I stumble upon amazing content on here either.
Buckle up shawty, I'm telling you, it's gonna be one heck of a ride!:P
My boy Aoki told me there was lots of turbulence coming your way!:P
You will see lots of changes in the person I am, my writing style, what I write about...
I was a complete different version of myself on this post than the one I am today.
Thanks so much for the song! I'll get back to you on it for sure!
One love!
