51 Days … and counting
51 days ... and counting. That's how long I have been depressed. I'm smiling sometimes. I'm functioning. I'm laughing at jokes. I am responding to social media. I'm still depressed. 51 days of seeing 3, 4, 5, 6, 7:00 am and sleeping until noon. Wasting away beautiful mornings that I will never, ever get back. … Continue reading 51 Days … and counting

Am I really? I am not as strong as people perceive me to be. I have to be pretty vulnerable and transparent to … Continue reading Mend each piece one by one

I've had my feelings hurt, been laughed at, been lied on ... well who hasn't? Can anyone name one person who's had a perfect life? I've had some good days. I've had some hills … Continue reading When I think things over
