I just wanted to share my thoughts about something that people have said about me. I try to keep my Facebook page as real as my life. I struggle with things. We all do. The only difference sometimes is that I am willing to share some of those struggles publicly. I do it because I believe my thoughts might reach someone else who is struggling with the same thing even if they choose not to admit it publicly. Some people say that makes me weak. I admit it, I get knock kneed sometimes. I have some of my future colleagues (classmates & practicing attorneys) on my friends list. I have wondered about what they think when they see my real thoughts as opposed to the professional mask I wear in school. I have my Masonic Brethren on my friends list as well. I get concerned sometimes about what they might think about my thoughts versus the mask I wear in Lodge. These comments could be repeated ad infinitum for every group of people I have on my friends list. However, I cant let that stop me. Every time someone private messages me and says they are thankful for my posts, I get reminded that a voice is a powerful thing. I lived in silence for over a decade because of #MST. I hope every day that one more person will find their voice after being silenced for so long because of being a crime victim. Might being so open about #PTSD keep me from getting licensed as an attorney? Maybe, I dont know. What I do know is that silence is not the right answer. All that said, my page will go mostly dark as I gear into the reading period and final exams. I owe myself, and my study group of whom I couldnt be more thankful, my undivided attention towards studying and taking exams in this stressful time.
