One day at a time
I told myself I will take everything one day at a time. My writing, my life, my mind and everything around. We want to force ourselves to do things when we should just let it come. Let my mind come together, let my words just flow when it can, let me just be who I need to be and stop trying to force myself to be something else. So I will take it one day at a time till everything becomes together and follow the same path.

Decision to work on me
A few months ago I made the decision to start working on me. Meaning focus more on my mental health. Work on my PTSD, work on my anxiety, work on my anger, work on my depression, work on al the things that kept my mind in a stationary state. I decided to work with a program to help me become a better me. I arrived in Florida on Monday and I have met a good group of men that share some of the same issues that I deal with and some people that are working with us to help with skills to be a better us. The military messed me up and throw life challenges in there and its a recipe for a lot of messed up things to go down a lot of bad paths. I can say that I am happy with this decision. My mind started thinking in ways that haven’t thought in a while and I feel inspiration coming back into my mind. I needed this trip and I needed to be around these people . I have to start doing more on a blog of truth and my craft. Share more of my photography, my poems, and yes, my mental health. This is how I will work on me to share a part of me and maybe that will help others.

Everyday Pain
Everyday I feel like I can’t make it thought the day. Not because I hate my life but because I am tired of dealing with the pain that I go through each and every day…but I still do. I still make it through. the day, and everyday after that because I have to. I can’t give up the fight that I am. Yes I deal with mental illness but I have to keep going. Mental health is not a joke and it is not an excuse. Mental health is real and many people go through their own eternal battles. It took me years to even acknowledge what I deal with but I have become stronger. Each day is a struggle and each day is a pain but I take each day full steam ahead because I have to. My path is becoming clear and talking about my struggles not only hello me, but I hope it will help others.

Mental Health Awareness Month
This is the month where we bring even more attention to mental health. There are a lot of people who don’t acknowledge it or will just say it is an excuse but I am here to tell you that it is not. Mental Illness is real. It is not a joke and it is not an excuse. It is something that is taking away people from this earth each and every day. Take the time to call or text someone to see how they are doing. During this time while this pandemic is going on reach out to people. Let them know that they care and that they are special. So many are hurting inside and don’t know how to tell people. So many send signs and signals but people ignore them. The strongest person may be the one that is hurting deep inside and is waiting for someone to just reach out to them and just say I’m here”. I only can speak on how I feel and what I go through. I know how it feels to feel all alone, and to feel like nobody cares. It hurts and it eats you up inside. I know how it feels to be there for everyone but it felt like nobody is there for you. It tears you up. Mental Illness makes you feel like you are in a desert with no water and no shade and you are just trying to survive. You are not alone. That is what I want people to know. You are not alone in your feeling and you are loved. You are special and you are needed. Whenever those thoughts come into you mind, replace them with the thoughts of love and people. Family and friends. Life in general. The wind and the rain. The sun and the moon. Take all the in because that is what you will be missing and they will be missing you. Every day is a struggle. I know that because I do struggle everyday. I talk to myself to get through the day all the time because that is how I deal with my mental struggles. Stay strong and believe in yourself.

Be Encouraged
At this time with what we are saying and what we are hearing it is easy for anxiety and depression to grab a hold of you. As someone who deals with mental illness you have to be strong and be encouraged. We all will get through this. This is the time where we must lean on our family and our friends. Check on them, text them, call them, do whatever needs to be done to let people know that you are there for them. The only way that we will get though this is together. Don’t let the claws of despair anchor you down so that you can’t get up. Stress is a killer so don’t be stressed out with what life throws at you. We all are dealing with something. We all have our own individual challenges the we deal with along what is going on in the world. You are not alone. I am here to tell you that it will be ok. Just like you I am dealing with my own challenges and struggles. I don’t write about what people want to hear, I also write about a lot of the things that I deal with mentally and physically myself. So as I write this, know that it will be ok. Know that you will be ok. Know that this might be hard times, this to shall pass.
