How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

I started paying attention to politics right before Trump got elected. But after COVID the tyranny I saw happening during that time by some of our politicians really changed the way I view freedom. God gave me my rights not the government. Politicians have the power We the People give them, it’s time for We the People need to take the power back. Because it’s clear the government can’t help us. It must be our responsibility as Americans fight for our freedom and our rights. I also learned during the COVID thing is life is short and we must embrace the beauty of life before it’s gone. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Mental health

Honestly I am so sick of this attack on anyone that calls out mental illness. I refuse to be silent and I refuse to allow others to tell me what they think I should say. I have suffered for many years with mental illness. It’s not my fault y’all want to continue allowing ppl to step on you because you refuse to call it out for what it is. A turd is still a turd no matter how pretty you dress it up. You talk about compassion, you speak about being kind well allowing a mentally ill person to not get help for their delusion isn’t compassionate at all. You are part of the problem you are the reason many won’t seek the help they need. Afraid you might offend someone at least be honest with yourself. This isn’t about helping it’s about being afraid of what others will label you. Well I tell you as I sit here writing this you can call me whatever you like. I refuse to allow anyone to put me in a box or label on me. I am not afraid because God has my back. The fact that y’all can’t even call a mental illness for what is it makes me know for a fact y’all are on the wrong side of history. There is nothing wrong with being sick it’s about getting help and finding ways to deal with life in a healthy way. If you can’t speak that truth you are completely in the darkness and there is no helping you. Not because you can’t get help but because you have chosen to stay in the darkness. ~Emma~

Today

May this day bring you wonderful new blessings. May this day be blessed with paths that will help you to grow. And may this be the day you find the strength to know you are worth it. ~Emma~

Posted a new video on YouTube

So I posted a video on YouTube and I want to make sure that I am extremely clear. This isn’t about hate this isn’t about anything other than mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help. I am just highlighting the fact that changing the definition or changing the meaning doesn’t change the outcome. It doesn’t help to continue perpetrating your own narrative to fit in your box. People need to know to get help for any mental disorder. By changing reality you are not helping the situation, you are making it worse. Please I ask on behalf of the mental health community that we all stop allowing for this narrative to continue. It will only harm the community it keeps “saying” it is trying to save.

To everyone

I am extremely blessed. I am thankful for the struggles that shape me each and every single day. More than anything I thank God for giving me the strength to keep going for without Him I would be nothing. Don’t give up keep fighting. Everyone is facing something so always smile and remember you aren’t alone. Kindness goes very far to someone who is having a really bad day. Make a difference, be the change you want to see. Have a beautiful night/day. ~Emma~

Wolf

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

I would like to say a lioness but I am probably more wolf than a lion. Fierce, strong, always fighting for my place with a pack or without one. It’s hard to survive alone yet I still do and always along the line I find others to make a pack with. Searching for an alpha male that will be equal with me.

Embrace your chaos

My start

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

In the chaos of her mind, Emma always found peace in the quiet silence of prayer.

Letting go

Describe the last difficult “goodbye” you said.

It was to a friend or someone I thought was a friend. I was there for this person but they turned on me. I tried to save the friendship but it was beyond saving. Because in the end I learned the only one that truly cared about our friendship was me. It was extremely painful and hard to just let go. To think that you gave your all and that person turned so quickly on you made me feel like crap.

Quote for today

Don’t get too attached to people because in the end everyone leaves. -unknown-
