    • About Me

      I look at my moments of depression like one would look at an eclipse...a big black circle crossing over my sunshine...i can see/feel it coming ever so slowly until it covers my sun completely and although it's covering my sun completely i can still see the glow of hope around the darkness...and so i wait for the darkness to pass. My depression doesn't bother me so much when i look at it this way because i know it's temporary and it will pass, it's the anxiety that really pisses me off...

    • Interests

      I enjoy many different things...good music, good friends, philosophy, sex and sunshine, laughing and blushing uncontroably, dancing and having fun, my children, life i cherish no matter what, we only have one or many, but it isn't a dress rehersal for anything more...live it. Sometimes we all forget from time to time how good it can be, if only we would allow it to just be. I try my best to be as positive as i can, we all make mistakes, we are only human after all, no better, no less than the next. What i fear most, what makes my anxiety peak...i face it, weather i fail or succeed, the only failure really is if you don't even try...so, i try not to run or hide from it as the fear will only grow greater, and i will cease to exist if i allow it to live my life for me. If i trip, i blame it on the floor, if i bump into a wall, i say excuse me. I can laugh at myself, can you? Reguardless if i'm depressed, reguardless of my anxieties, reguardless of bp, i own my life, my mistakes, my happiness, my faults, my downfalls, all of it...it is mine and mine alone, the depression, anxieties and bp don't define who i am as a person. I am who i am, normal with a few quirks lol...
