Nobody Knows the Trouble I See

I'm going to write a post about how it feels to be depressed. You definitely should. It will touch and reach a lot of people. There is a big difference between being sad and being depressed and folks honestly don't understand. ~ SoJo Diva: I'm listening to Jennifer Holliday.

One Flight Up: Susan Fales-Hill

2to2: Going in a New Direction

Brown Suitcase

I have lived behind a mask for 3 years.  My best friend would always say "you should blog about what you're going through.  So many people can identify." but I blew her off.  No one could possibly identify with what I was going through.  Not only that but do you know how embarrassing it is to be homeless and separated and broke?  It's still something I'm not sure I want to admit to the general public.  Do you know that there are people who come here on a regular basis and keep up with my life in hopes that everything I touch will fail?  Do you know how much joy they would receive in life to know that this is the first "HOME" I've had since May 2009?  I can think of 5 people who have reached orgasmic giddy just reading this so far.  I didn't want to give them that satisfaction.  Read more >
