Living in my own Shadow
I can remember thinking to myself “why can’t I just shake this!”. “Why can’t I just be like everyone else and get over it!”. It was so easy for me to look around and think that I was the only person alive that “didn’t have his shit together”.
I felt like an outcast!
I was convinced that I was meant to be in the shadows for the rest of my life….
What I didn’t realize was that the problems I experienced were, in fact, very real… At least they were to me!
That was a sometime ago, but I still find myself fighting battles… I know that others look at me and think that I’d be a fool to suffer, but they don’t know the pain that has been endured.
They don’t realize the toll life can take!
OR…
Maybe they have a hard time excepting that one can be “that f@cked up” and still be able to maintain composure and cope….
To those that are moving forward- I applaud you!!!
And those that are still enduring-
DON’T GIVE UP!!!
Seek out whatever helps you to press forward and pursue that passion head on….
Good luck to all of you!
I truly hope that you find everything that you are seeking!
