Trying to Write Something

Today has been good. I am trying to write something because I need to write. Yesterday was beautiful. Can you believe that we are already in the month of June? We are six months into the new year. These months have flown by very fast. In seven months it will be 2024. I have accomplished so much in the past six months. I wanted this year to be a good year for me. I wanted to accomplish my goals, and I am doing it. I wanted to have a better outlook on life and I do. I will not let anything stop me from being happy. I will not let depression control my life anymore. I lost a lot of time because of it and I refuse to let it happen again.

Looking back over the years of my life, I lost out on a lot of time that I could have been productive. See, when someone is dealing with depression it robs them of their joy. It takes away the happiness and enthusiasm that a person has to not want to do what they once enjoyed, and that is what happened to me. I am thankful that I have found ways to deal with it better. I know when those feelings are going to attack me, so I start doing things like meditation to help ease my mind so I can focus on something positive. It has helped me a lot.

When I am feeling empty spiritually, I do or create Bible studies. It helps me to stay focused on what’s important in my life spiritually. When I start to feel a certain type of way, I know that it is time for me to get to a place where I can pray. I have been watching a few videos on YouTube. I am thinking about creating a YouTube Channel that will connect with my podcast and my websites. I have been feeling really creative more so than I have ever been. Preparing for new things is good. This will be challenging for me because I never thought I would want to do something like this before. I can admit that I have posted videos on Facebook, and TikTok, but never to a YouTube audience. I am excited though. I am learning all about it so when I am ready to do it I will know what I am doing instead of just guessing at it. I want it to be perfect. I think that I want to have it done before I start school. I know I won’t have time to do it once my classes start. I just may do it in a couple of weeks. I am not promising myself anything because who knows what may be going on before then? I just want to do what makes me happy. I am feeling good about myself. I am seeing all of my dreams come true. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me after graduation next year.

All I can say is that I love that I have been blessed to see all of the dreams come true that I set for myself when I was a kid. I will never give up on myself again because of depression, stress, and anxiety. I have so much to look forward to. I have come a long way in my life. Everything that I have gone through has brought me to this very day for me to be successful. I want to leave you with this advice. DO NOT EVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS! DO NOT EVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF! DO NOT EVER STOP MOVING FORWARD! Your future will consist of the choices you make right now. Make wise choices and have a beautiful future. With that being said, thank you for joining me on my journey with Food for the Soul.
