One day at a time

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

Why are you still single, have never been married or had kids? You are too pretty to not be married. Explanation: I became extremely sick around the age of 21. Spent the next 10-15 years fighting a severe depression. Constantly being hospitalized, under lots of medication, and getting treatment with ECT. So yeah I didn’t have time to get married, have kids or enjoy life during the hell I was going through.

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.

Just three things

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

-God

– The Bible

-notebook or paper to write all my thoughts and poems out

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-

You can’t hide ugly

Always surprised how people act when speaking of my own mental illness. It’s like mentioning you have the plague. It truly shows their true character that they try to hide behind fake smiles. ~Emma~

Remember as you get yourself started today, you are worthy and you are loved. Keep shining the light you were given. Don’t allow anyone to take that shine from you. ~Emma~
