I'm a junior at Plano West High School located in Dallas, Texas. My interests include speech and debate, journaling, and writing. I created this blog, Essentially Olivia., as a way to combine all my interests into a platform to detail about mental health but also with a personal lifestyle touch as well! 

​

In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, journaling my thoughts, and more recently...blogging!

​

I am not a professional writer. Nor a doctor. Nor a mental health expert. I am a teenager. I know I don't know everything in the world there is to know about mental health and I would never mean to come off as ignorant or entitled. But I'm hoping that blogging will not only serve as a platform but also help to expand my own knowledge on these topics, topics that I think are very important!
