Last night I read something that brought me back to a place that I thought has long vanished from my mind, it haunted me in my sleep and I tossed and turned all night. I woke up this morning feeling down. I went upstairs and looked at my kids while they were sleeping and I thought to myself how immensely blessed I am to have a wonderful husband and 2 amazing children. I look back on my life and think to myself that although I was dealt an extremely crappy hand at one point, I will NOT accept the fact that it has to determine what the rest of our lives will be like. Everyday I struggle with negative thoughts and Ive learned to replace them with positive ones, but it takes HARD work and every now and then (like last night) I get tired of working that hard and I fall back into my old habits of thinking why me. The point of me sharing this is that things arent always as pretty as they look from the outside, we all have struggles, some of us struggle with health issues, some of us struggle with financial issues, some of us struggle with mental issues, but ALL of us struggle with SOMETHING. It may seem insignificant to one person, but for whomever thats going through it, it may be the largest struggle of their life. Dont give up or give in, there are always reasons to keep fighting your fight and if you need help, reach out to someone, I promise you, once you get over the initial fear of feeling exposed, you will find it therapeutic
