Sarah grew up in the Hills District with her brother Christopher and two loving parents. Growing up, Sarah struggled with perfectionism, and very low self-esteem.
Being diagnosed with schizophrenia in her teenage years was very difficult for Sarah to deal with; Her mental health was further triggered when her beloved brother passed away. In honour of Chris, Sarah and her family have vowed to band together and make the most out of life through rich heartfelt experiences.
Sarah has found freedom and beauty in the arts and self -expression; and hopes others can too. Self-expression has been the gateway to her healing, self-compassion and self-love.
Sarah spends most of her days crafting, writing or painting. It is through art that she found new meaning and purpose in life, enabling her to have a positive outlook on life and inspire others.
Sarah is passionate about mental health and connecting with others, sharing her journey and contributing to the community in
a positive way.
Hunger Pains
The relentless mistakes
Of Careless choices
fighting yourself
Along with the negative voices
Hunger pains
That just seems to never go away.
Surviving guilty thoughts
That comes day by day.
Thanks to Inspiration that is all around
Chaotic eating finally turned around.
A Fondness for fruit
And a chance to reboot.
There is nothing like Finding a healthy substitute.
Strength is what I have found.
My feet firmly on the ground
Making good choices
And defeating the voices
A healthy life to live.
and plenty of love to give.

Thought Broadcasting
A burden turned into a blessing
In a totally unimaginable life lesson
That your every thought was never private
And your inner talk was meant to be heard
You would naturally clean yourself up
By looking deep within
To get out of the rut that your mind is in
and that an insult to someone was just a passing thought
Misunderstood because they can hear your every thought
Somehow lost in translation
Thinking things that you would never want others to hear
Even if my mouth was sticky taped
There is absolutely no escape
Only today I know my thoughts are in their purest form
For it took me years and years to transform
Looking deep within
Forgiving myself from my sins
Form the world hearing my every thought
And all the lessons that I’ve been taught
In a bizarre twist I’ve realised this
That life is precious and passes in the blink of an eye
What you experience is always going to be real for you
So make wise decisions and be aware of your conditions
and never give up on your own ambitions
Life is beautiful
And is meant to be enjoyed
All you can do is the best you can
Cheers to that
Amen
- Sarah White
