Keep Shining On

"Wherever you go, go with all of your heart".  I know that we all struggle from time to time with our battles, and a lot of times giving up may cross your mind.  But I am here to tell you that you matter and that the world is much better with you here.  You are important to more people than you think.  Just because you may not be in a certain point in your life, does not mean that it has lost it's value.  Often times we take time for granted and just assume that we have plenty of it left.  However we never know when our time is up, so why not make the most of what you have left?  I know that it is a struggle and I know that we all face giants that others may not, but PLEASE know that whatever battle you are facing, you have the power to overcome it.  Face it one step at a time and keep shining on.  You have the qualities that this world needs and you have the spark that someone in this world needs.  You have the words that someone needs to hear, you have the heart that shines for others.  Don't let circumstances dictate who you are, you are in control and show the world that you are not a product of your thoughts and feelings.  Be above the rest and give this life everything that you have.  You can do anything that you try to do, yes we may fail and we may have to try over and over again, but in the end you will succeed with whatever it is.  I know that we feel that this is impossible, but I promise it isn't.  It is only impossible right now because we can't see what lies ahead.  Don't be afraid to step out in faith and try something you once thought was impossible.

For today: Be stronger than you were yesterday, even if it is for just a second.  This world has a lot to offer you and you have a lot to offer the world.  Trust me when I say that giving up is not the way.  Trying is painful as hell but you will be proud of yourself in the end if you shine on and give it your best.  Believe in the person that you wish to be and never let anyone stand in the way of who you want to become.  Easier said than done, but baby steps can lead to leaps.  Once you learned how to crawl, did you not walk?  You can't get back the moments that have passed, quit living in the past regrets and move forward with you journey.  You have much more to live for that you can imagine.  Be you and be proud of it, not everyone will accept you for who you are and that is OK.  But you are enough for others.  Just remember that you are a strong individual deep down and you have the strength to face any walls that stand before you.

Until next time!

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...
