You know how fast life can change, over these past 15 months, I can honestly say that life has changed drastically. These have been some of the hardest months I've ever faced. I'm not sure what I did along the way to deserve this misfortune but here we are. I realized that we were riding a high for so long that eventually the bottom had to fall out. Well it did and it soaked everyone in its wake. I look at pictures from that time frame and the pain I feel is immense. Looking back at our happy smiling faces and not knowing what we would face in the future is heartbreaking. If I could go back to the person I was 15 months ago and prepare him for the challenges ahead, I would in an instant. But the story and show must roll on right? Time doesn't stop for us even when we are going through all of the challenges we face on a daily basis. We have lost family members, lost jobs, loss, loss loss loss loss loss......... It se...
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".

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...
Here we go.... Hang onto your seats... What is pain and resentment? What does that look like to you? Often times we take that hurt that harmed us and we carry it around with us for a very long time. I find myself carrying the things of the past that I cannot go back and fix. I find that I let those past events shape my future, the way that I treat my relationships and the way that I treat my kids. I often times swore to myself that I would not treat people the way that I had been treated but here I was doing those same things to them. It was a cycle that I thought I could break on my own and that I thought I was strong enough to fight against that by myself. I was wrong... Dead wrong. Often times we struggle with those pains that we felt so long ago and we carry that with us and it weighs us down. The burden can become so heavy that we allow it to steal the life from us. We allow that resentment for whatever ...
There ya go!
