Over a year I have been part of this wonderful community, yet I have not talked about myself. One thought I want to get out there, and one I most all struggle with is depression.
Mine stems from a wonderful women that decided my best friend was better than me. I had the extreme displeasure to walk in on them. At the time, I was in my mid 20's. Life was looking great. I had college figured out. I had my financial situation figured out. I had it all.
In that moment, I lost it all. I was pulled into the depths. I lost myself. I fell to the wayside. I became a drug addict. I became my own worst enemy.
Now, I see that as a test. I'm not relgious, but be damded if that was not a greater being testing me. Because of her I am a better person today. I lost the love of my life, but gained so much.
What I am getting at is: Life is learning. Sometimes it hurts, yet the hurt is the lesson. Live to learn, and love to live.
