“Sometimes my anxiety is so high it’s hard to breathe. Sometimes my depression is so low my body aches. I cry easily in public. I drink too much and don’t eat enough vegetables. I'm kind of a mess. But I love. The very core of me is pure love. I feel most alive when I am writing and I feel most connected to people when I am writing or sharing my writing. As a writer, I look to inspire vulnerability, connection & courage. I’ve had a lot of dark times in my life, when my self-worth was so low I didn’t think it mattered if I lived any longer. All of those times were caused by different life events, but what they all have in common is that I felt alone. I felt like no one loved me, there was no one like me or dealing with what I dealt with. My depression disconnected me from the world. I want others to know they are not alone too. My writing is so raw and relatable to let people know that they are not alone.” 🌈 Thank you @the_confetti_project for capturing me. My depression juxtaposed with the confetti is 10 out of 10 me. I can’t wait to share more of these. And more of the story I shared with the very talented @the_confetti_project! . . . #confetti #confettinyc #theconfettiproject #confettiyoself #confettiyourlife #confettiyourmind #cancerandconfetti (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3vXE_IJxt8/?igshid=sho892e6w3ie
