To face another day

When you open your eyes in the morning, what is the first thought that comes across your mind  (of course after why do I have to go to work today)?  Everyday that you open your eyes you are given a new chance to make a difference in this life.  Often times we take waking up for granted.  We just simply assume that you are going to wake up and continue on where you left off.  But what if you were not guaranteed tomorrow?  How would you live then?  How would you interact with other people?  How would your feelings change?  You are probably thinking at this point, "Oh great here comes the same speech over and over again"... Listen I know that you have heard this 1000 times over, but none of us are guaranteed our next breathe let alone waking up in the morning.  So my question to you is this:  Why can't we live like we are not guaranteed tomorrow everyday?  Why can't we push away our feelings of being down or anxious?  Why would we let anxiety and or depression steal our time?  Because that is literally what those two emotions are doing, they are taking the limited time that you have here on Earth and are wasting it right before your eyes.  Today we should take a stand, a stand that we will not give up the fight for happiness and or feeling free.  That we will give everything that we have to ensure that we spend our seconds the way that we want to do so.  Many times I turn to God to help me through a tough spot, I can say without a doubt that my good days outweigh my bad days by far.  I know that by believing in a higher power that it gives me hope, hope that my life is meant for something other than just a routine.  One day I will be able to hold my head high and say that I have made it, but until that day I have to rely on what I have been taught. 

For today, don't let your emotions steal the joy and time that you have here on this Earth.  I know that many times we put a lot on our shoulders but you were not made to just carry your burdens with you every step of the way.  You are meant to lay those burdens down and rise above your circumstance and become a better version of yourself.  Take a stand, be strong, love someone today.  Be more than what you were yesterday, yesterday has past and you cannot get those moments back.  But what you can do is make better moments for the future.  Live your best life and be happy.  Do not let the sadness or anxiety over take you.  Look to the sky for help, I know that it can be tough to rely on someone or something that you cannot see, but try.  Find something that gives you hope, the hope for a better day.  Take today and make it yours, live you best life for today.  Be brave and be strong.  Stand tall against all that holds you back and move forward.

From the Outside

Have you ever heard the phrase: "from the outside everything may look fine", or some other variation.  Many times I feel that people only see what they want to on the outside and not get to know the person you really are.  I know that times I really feel judged and like an outsider but once you get to know me your opinion may change.  However in today's society it is much easier to keep to yourself and not be put in situations where people may get to know you.  A lot of times when I am around certain groups of people, I immediately feel like I am being judged as the weird person or the quiet one.  Many times I have been told that I am too quite and for me that is a defense that I set up for myself.  I often times struggle with small talk and will just end up saying something really awkward...  It happens for often than not, even with people that I know.  Lord knows I hate it when that happens, I tend to think about it the rest of the day and kick...

Be A Man

Many times I wonder what I can write about that would be uplifting to someone who battles the same things that I do.  A lot of times I want to repeat what I have already written and it is tough coming up with something new to say.  I feel like a lot of times we always hear "oh be a man" or "You'll be fine".  But a lot of times it is tougher than expected to do what others give you advice about.  I find that mental health in individuals who has anxiety and depression is important to me and I don't want you to just "be a man" or "you'll be ok", I truly want you to be ok with who you are and what this journey has taught you.  I was recently trying to explain what anxiety was to me and I found it tough.  I found it tough to express what exactly it is that I feel on a given day.  It was a struggle to explain the emotions that I feel when I have entered into a public place or am put into a situation where I know that I have to face my demo...

Believing is Seeing

"I'll give you everything that I've got left, follow you down and give you my last breath".  ~ Gideon. Many times I struggle with self worth and thinking that I am not up to anyone's standards.  Recently an opportunity has presented itself to me and I can't seem to get out of my own way.  I feel as if I am not good enough to do this new challenge, I feel like I can't live up to the expectation that has been set forth.  I seem myself as less than everyone and that is a serious struggle for me and really is the cause of most of my depression and anxieties.  I often times when in a group setting, think that people are looking at me like I am weird or something to that effect.  I feel as if people see me in a different light than who I truly am.  Once you get to know me, I promise it is worth your time :).  I am an introvert who doesn't like crowds or speaking to new people, but lately I have been trying to push past those barriers.  I recentl...
