Why I write


What Doesn't Kill Us Makes Us Stronger - Depression

Ever since Robin Williams died, I've been thinking about living the life of Depression. It really is a silent killer. You're defective; a freak if your pain exists above the neck.

What's wrong with introspection? Trying to understand who you are and what's shaped you? We're all flawed. No one is perfect. That's what our life's journey is all about. Living and growing and dealing in a world that is not kind. Sometimes the load just becomes too heavy and we can no longer bear the weight.

Depression is real. It's not about just being sad. It's a sense of being drawn under. A force that has a real power and depth that's hard to let go.

Don't judge. Don't hate. Don't fear. Just like running a marathon, it takes one step at a time. One moment at a time. One day at a time.

Pray, keep the faith, and believe there's still another moment to live.
