Depression is a long and hard struggle- some come out with scars and no tears left, some come out a better person all round, and some don't come out at all.
Depression has been my life for a little over a year and a half. It seems a little odd and confronting to put this up on the internet for you's all to see but, I've missed blogging so much, but my head hasn't been in the right place- until just this morning- at 2am, my best friends father passed away after a four year fight with an illness caused by asepsis. He was an amazing man, inspiring and strong and bloody hilarious. He put up with the midnight giggle attacks and 9am wake ups from my friend, her littler brother, my older brother, and I to watch and support our soccer. From him i've always found that new sense of life they talk about in the movies, you know- wake up everyday like it's your last and always remember to laugh?
From him I drew my courage to write this,
to return to blogging,
to make him proud and to show everyone that it's okay- it'll always be okay
(which coming from me sounds completely crazy- I have depression and can still say this, because I hope with my heart of hearts it'll be true, and I know it will- it's up to me to make it true, and to all of you to make whatever you what in life work out.)
Leave any questions below, or on my twitter here.
I love you's all dearly!
hugs, kisses and best wishes,
