Well, hello! I have a lot to say about a handful of things and I’m glad you’re here.
In summary, I’m your basic introverted, chronic thinker plagued with extroverted tendencies. I love to be with people until I don’t. And recovery times vary. It’s hard being me.
My interests include reading and thinking about writing. If words in (reading) + words out (writing) = wholeness, then this blog is my first step towards that. Except it’s not…it’s but one in a long line of steps towards wholeness. I’ve encountered many monsters in my battles against high functioning depression, childhood emotional neglect, debilitating perfectionism, and a whole host of other crippling poisons. Some of these monsters I’ve slain, others I’m still entertaining like they’re my best friends.
This is a place to share my journey and offer encouragement to my fellow fighters. For those of us fighting to understand that our struggles are legitimate even though others have it worse. For those of us who know something’s not right but have no reason to believe anything’s wrong. For those of us fighting for ourselves because we refuse to let the monsters win. None of us are alone in these battles for our lives and it’s time we all know that.
