RE: My Promo-Mentors Writing Challenge: How Depression Changed Me
Finding your own legs of support is the biggest challenge anyone faces. Upbringing often teaches that thoughts and feelings are wrong and should be avoided. Those are just the thoughts and feelings of someone teaching you and not what makes each person unique. The challenge of breaking those beliefs and finding ones true self is the beginning to true happiness.
I can see the struggles you faced in your writing and the man you became once you found your soul and your voice within. I also share your feelings that everything happens for a reason and not changing a damn thing is the only thing that makes us who we are. Nice to meet you Jeremy, I'm going to check out your poetry now.
Indeed. At times, to break those beliefs, the mind goes into extremes, e.g. depression. It weakens everything and shatters it all at once, and suddenly you are lost and need to build yourself. Nice to meet you too, and thank you for the supportive comment :)
