  Breaking the Cycle ~finally choosing life again~ Photo by Miguel Bruna on Unsplash It can get frustrating to read the lists of accomplishments others have made while I stayed stuck in this mental cage, barely able to go outdoors unless I have my “safe” person beside me.

I began my day by listening to a lady who reads Bible verses aloud on Youtube, and it was really relaxing. I really enjoy listening to Bible verses with the harp playing in the background as well. Today I went searching for some...

Photo by Fallon Michael on Unsplash It's always been one of the most interesting stories in the Bible- the story of Jacob and Esau. Even in the womb, they wrestled together, and their mother, Rebekah was told that it was because their people would rival against each other someday.  I always laugh to myself when I read the part about Jacob holding onto Esau's heel as they are being born....

A dream dies, a health issue arises, or things just don't turn out the way we thought they would.    I know what it's like to give up hope.

Photo by Denys Nevozhai on Unsplash Things are very different right now compared to this time last year. I remember being so hopeful at the end of 2019 that 2020 would be the best year of my life, but just like for most others out there, it was anything but. Last year during this time, I was just entering a major depressive episode that would end up lasting for most of the year. I ended up in...

It makes me now want to pay more attention to the days and months, and acknowledge holidays and memorable days I may have otherwise missed in the past. After acknowledging how fast time seems to be going it also makes me want to leave the past behind...
