For YEARS I have joked with friends and family telling them one day I would write a book about my life. Many have encouraged me because they are aware of my passion for writing, while others would laugh saying "what the hell would you write about?". My answer. "I have no flipping idea" but I&h...

I don't trust myself I guess. I shouldn't be putting myself through so much mental health hell. I'm trying though. Besides the past two days, I've been doing pretty good emotionally/mental health-wise. I saw my therapist today and the session made some valid points. I've finally pinpointed the ca...
