I know how it feels to be strong and yet crying inside. I have been that person that people look up to and seek advice.

This was one of the reasons why I broke down last year because I did not know who to turn to because I did not want to appear weak, or complaining or unhappy with my life. People who know me are surprised when they learn that I am battling depression and had episodes of near suicude.

I really hate it when people downplay it and feel that people can just choose to be happy. Who doesn't want to be happy right!!!

I turned to writing to be able to write down those thoughts and express it. express it in a way that I could not do it off the blockchain.

Use your wonderful art to express yours, your thoughts, feelings, hang ups, ideas, sorrow, sadness and pain. Let it out for the world to see.

There are a lot more people who are forgiving and will support you no matter what.

I will be one of them.
