Life in Bloom: Journaling my way through Life, Fashion, and Travel​

Listen..to what I’m not saying.

This is a photo diary.

Depression is my invisible friend, that’s forever in my shadow.

I’m not deathly sad every day, but when I am, it gets overwhelming.

Sometimes I just want to hide away from the world, but I know that’s not the right thing to do.

You may see me laugh all the time
but laughter gets me through it
you may hear me sing out loud
but singing gets me through it
I’m happy around you
because your company gets me through it
but when I’m alone
its hard to get through it
but if you stand beside me
I can get through it
and save myself

They don’t understand my struggle
You don’t know what happens to me when I’m alone
I am stronger than I think

You really don’t understand unless you’ve been in my shoes

My worse days, this is how I feel

I will never give up
On my stronger days, this is what keeps me together

Battling depression is exhausting, sad and lonely. but with this illness also comes strength from within.
Hiding this from everyone is a battle every day. But I keep myself afloat because of my family.
They are everything to me. For them, I keep myself normal,
even though I feel that I am not.
I keep doing things that make me happy. and stay up there as long as I can.
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
I know that self-care is important, and that is my goal.
being around people makes me happy because they make me laugh
they say laughter is the best medicine, it works for me
I will forever strive to make a better me, and writing about it, helps.
I’m nervous about publishing this
but I know I can do this
this is my authentic self
I’m going to be hell okay!
