My name is Andrea Belita. I grew up in a bunkhouse we made in Idaho. No electricity, no separate rooms, and no privacy. We were preppers, hoarder style. An herbalist mother and a religiously extreme and dominating father, abuse was prevalent. Things got worse before they got better. Songwriting and journaling are how I got through life. Now I’m here sharing all of that with you. I bet you've been through some gnarly stuff, too. Free your story, free yourself. Season 3 is the beginning of my Journal Project.

Hey! I'm Andrea Belita. This is the beginning of my journal project where I share my life story through my journals and songs. This season runs through elementary and middle school. I haven't started a specific YouTube for this yet. I'll let you know when I do.

Have you ever looked at the moon and marveled at how we accept it completely—craters and all—without wishing it were any different? That's the profound realization I had during a solitary hike that transformed my relationship with self-acceptance.

Walking alone through rolling green hills at dusk, I was wrestling with familiar insecurities: the exhausting need to prove myself as a mother, businesswoman, and creator. Would I ever feel like enough? As I reached the hilltop, the moon appeared—subtle yet bright enough to guide my way home without a flashlight. Unlike the blinding sun, her light was gentle, her presence comforting despite (or because of) her imperfections.

This celestial encounter reminded me of a pivotal moment years ago after releasing my first album. I'd been striving desperately to be cooler, edgier, and more marketable—until one day I truly saw myself in the mirror. Not my flaws or inadequacies, but simply me. In that breakthrough, I recognized that like the moon, I am enough exactly as I am. This revelation inspired my song "Gem," which I perform in this episode as a reminder that our authentic selves—the ones we don't have to force or fabricate—are miracles worth celebrating. The places we want to hide, the vulnerabilities we fear showing—they're all part of what makes us human, connected, and real. You already possess everything you need; you're a gem with natural brilliance that doesn't require polishing to perfection.

Ready to embrace your authentic self? Listen now, then share with someone who needs to hear they're already enough. Because sometimes the most powerful alchemy happens when we stop trying to transform who we are and simply recognize the gold already present.

It's Okay is a song journey that reminds you it's alright to feel what you feel. Accept the feelings and that will help you figure out what to do next rather than feeling overwhelmed and out of control with your emotions.

This is my cousin's account of her son and her journey through depression, a car accident that killed another person, and how they've come through it. You Can Do This is a song and story that anyone will relate to because we know someone with depression or have had it ourselves.
