Small blessings

Hope everyone has a beautiful weekend. Don’t forget the only one stopping you from having a blessed weekend is you. Even small victories and small blessings are to be celebrated.

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

Don’t give up

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

With all the countless failures I have learned I am still strong enough to keep doing what I dream of doing.

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

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~
