I'M NATHAN

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN YOU ARE AUTHENTICALLY YOURSELF?

YOUR AUTHENTICITY IT WHAT MAKES YOU, YOU!

When I finally went to therapy to work on myself, I've learned that since my childhood, I've lacked being my authentic self. Since then, it has been a work in progress trying to identify what makes me authentic. I believe it's important to discover what your authenticity is. With that said, allow me to reintroduce who I authentically am.

There isn't really much of a story to tell about me. I'm just a person who is trying to figure out my place here in this world. But since everyone loves introductions, I guess I can give you a brief understanding of who I am? I was born (April 19) and raised in a small city (Milpitas) in California. Throughout my time in life, I've always looked at myself as the outsider of what my personality has always been. When I was young, I thought something was wrong with me and I gaslighted myself to believe that I was the problem. As I got older, I realized that nothing about me was wrong. I was made to be who I was supposed to be.

 

As I was in middle school, I always loved the idea of being a blogger. At first, it was about fashion. It lasted for a few years until it got me nowhere. As time progressed, and I saw myself distancing myself away from that topic, I didn't know what else to write about. Fast forward to senior year of high school. During my final year of high school, my friend and I decided to take an Architecture Design class, for the sake of filling up an empty period during school. At first, I had no idea what the topic was, nor was I even good at it. I remember the first project that I did for a one-story home looked completely ugly. I remember being super close to dropping out of the class. But I didn't want this challenge to overcome myself, therefore I learned a lot about interior design on YouTube and Pinterest. This then opened a pandora's box of me being highly invested in interior design later. This was then, I started to blog about interior design.

Time continued to progress, and it was my third year of college now. I was slowly starting to see myself distance from posting about interior design. It was until COVID-19 happened that everything changed. As a lot of people struggled with mental health during quarantine, I wanted to learn more about it. There was a lot of weight and struggle that I never really understood for the past decade that I took the time to figure out during lockdown. It was then I realized that I too struggle with mental health for a period of time. When I learned about this, I started to have an idea about starting my own page that would cover many bases of obstacles in our lives. By doing this, I always felt like I could cover so many topics that would keep me hooked onto being a content creator. As I continue my content creator journey, I hope that what this 'thing' does for you will provide whatever help that may come along the way.

THE BEGINNING

I was able to make new friends during during my time in college while keeping in touch with my two high school friends.

IT'S THE FRIENDS YOU MAKE

I started gaining interest during high school, but my passion for it didn't actually start until college.

INTERIOR DESIGN

I graduated high school in Spring 2017. At that time, my future was in question. Little did I know where I would be heading then...

When covid happened, life felt like it was on pause, I wanted to create a page that focused on many obstacles in our life.

MENTAL HEALTH

During my years in college, I noticed that my mental health was at its lowest. During this year, I wanted to focus on my mind and be an advocate for mental health.

After six years being in college, I was able to graduate with a degree in Civil Engineering!
