A Note from my Mental Health Journal . “Tonight is one of those nights that I know you’ve experienced as well…
One of those nights, where it’s a bit difficult to find your inner light.
I have lost so, so much this year. I feel like 2023 has been a wildfire that relentlessly took away everything I felt “safe“ with. My disability income, my healthcare, four of my best friends… All people and things I thought I’d have forever.
And as I sit here, writing down my thoughts, I ask myself “Am I even the same man without these people, and without these things?”.
But it’s a question I already know the answer to.
I am not.
I am no longer a man living off the government or relying on hollow friendships just to feel like I’m not alone.
I have lost just about absolutely everything my former self relied on.
But maybe, just maybe,
I’m finally finding myself.”
