To breathe.
To find your footing.

Wellness & Cosplay has grown beyond what one person should be trying to build alone.

And I think that’s a good thing.

There are programs I want to grow. Resources I want to create. More convention conversations I want to have. More communities I’d like to reach. And plenty of ideas that probably haven’t even happened yet because the right person hasn’t walked through the door with them.

So over the next few weeks, I’m going to start talking more about ways people can become involved with W&C.

Not just one kind of person, either.

🩷 Real people. People with lived experience and stories worth hearing.

💡 Real ideas. Creative people, problem-solvers, makers and people who see possibilities I don't.

👥 Real impact. Volunteers, leaders, advisors and people who simply want to contribute where they can.

🌱 A brighter future. People who believe fandom can be used to build healthier, more connected communities.

You don’t need to be a cosplayer.

You don’t need a mental-health degree.

You don’t need thousands of followers.

And you definitely don’t need to have everything figured out.

There are a lot of different ways to contribute to a community.

There may be a place for you here.

More soon. 🩷💛💙

One of the strange things about building something around community is realizing how easy it is to talk about supporting other people...

…and how much harder it can be to let other people support you.

I want Wellness & Cosplay to be a place where people can find connection, learn something useful, create things together, talk about difficult stuff, have fun, and maybe find some people who understand them a little better.

But community can’t only work in one direction.

It’s okay to say:

I could use some help.

It’s okay to let somebody contribute.

It’s okay to admit you don’t know how to do something.

And it’s okay to stop believing that being capable means doing everything yourself.

That’s something I’m learning while building W&C, too.

Because community isn’t just who we support.

It’s who we let support us. 🩷💛💙

I’m someone who likes having a plan.

Unfortunately, life doesn’t seem particularly interested in following mine. 😅

Sometimes the timeline changes. Sometimes something takes longer than expected. Sometimes you realize the way you planned to do something just isn’t working anymore.

That doesn’t automatically mean you failed.

And it doesn’t mean the thing you were working toward stopped mattering.

W&C has changed quite a bit from the idea I originally started with. It’ll probably change again.

The mission doesn’t have to disappear just because the path changes.

That applies outside W&C, too.

Maybe the goal stays the same and you need a different route.

Maybe you need more time.

Maybe you need help.

Maybe you discover that the original goal isn’t actually what you want anymore.

Changing the plan isn’t the same as giving up.

Sometimes it’s how we keep going. 🩷💛💙

Okay, be honest. 😄

Wellness & Cosplay basically disappeared for a week.

Did you notice?

🩷 = Yep, I noticed you were gone. 💙 = Nope, I honestly didn’t notice.

And either answer is completely okay.

Because here’s something I needed to remind myself of:

The internet kept going.

Nobody’s life fell apart because W&C didn’t post for a few days.

I’ve spent months working on the website, programs, content, events, resources, partnerships, and all the little things happening behind the scenes. And right now, I’m doing a lot of that myself.

Eventually I hit a point where I just needed to stop for a few days.

No posts. No trying to keep up. No forcing myself to create something just because I thought I was supposed to.

And you know what?

Everything was still here when I came back.

Sometimes we put enormous pressure on ourselves to keep showing up because we’re afraid of what will happen if we stop.

Sometimes stopping for a little while is exactly what we need.

Wellness Before Cosplay includes the people building Wellness & Cosplay, too. 🩷💛💙

So... did you notice? 😂

Maybe you came here because you cosplay.

Maybe you're here because you love conventions.

Anime. Comics. Games. Horror. Music. Movies. Books. Wrestling. Ghost. Marvel. Whatever wonderfully specific thing makes your brain light up.

Maybe you create.

Maybe you don't.

Maybe you've already found your people.

Maybe you're still looking for them.

You don't need the perfect costume.

You don't need enough followers.

You don't need to know all the lore.

You don't need to prove that you're enough of a fan to be here.

There is room for you.

Where fandom meets wellness.

Where you belong.

Tomorrow, we begin again. 🩷💛💙

1 day.
