✝️ Life cannot be summed up in one sentence, but it can be cherished without any words at all. Take time to enjoy all the little things around you that are begging for your attention. Get inspired by the beauty of nature. Life is full of surprises if you search for them with all your heart, mind, and soul. Life is your vehicle and happiness is your destination. Drive safe and enjoy every mile.

Living with depression can feel like riding a rollercoaster with more downs than ups. It's a constant search for new ways to cope with the pain of loss and the emotional turmoil. I found my way out of the dark, and I feel it is my duty to help others find the light.

I believe that those who experience the profound sadness and disorienting confusion involved in these struggles often cultivate a deeper understanding of their inner selves, a level of self-awareness that may be inaccessible to those who seem unburdened by the world's pressures.

I believe that everyone is born to be happy, but certain events occur in our lives that will surely test our patience and beliefs. I shut down after losing my dad to cancer when I was 27 years old. The absence of those I cherished has profoundly impacted my mental well-being, a realization that came only after years of denial. It helps to reach out to others experiencing similar issues to get through them successfully. Some feelings cannot be explained with words, they can only be felt. 

No person, regardless of age, is immune to the harsh realities of life. Interaction with like-minded individuals can help relieve some of the pressures that weigh heavily on your thoughts. 

The rapid loss of family and friends, whether by their own hand or through unforeseen circumstances, has left me deeply affected. It's a cruel reminder of our powerlessness in the face of life's unpredictable turns. I often grapple with the feeling that if only they had reached out, I might have been able to offer some comfort or support.

Please reach out and talk to someone, you are not alone.
