  Blind hope is magic I won’t be stuck forever Deep breath, persevere Blind hope is my best weapon in surviving trauma and the depression episodes. During depression, I’m unable to envision experiencing joy once more. The blind faith takes away my fear of never escaping that black hole. If I am patient with myself, this trick works every time.  Photo is of a quick mixed media piece. I recommend mixed media art as a fantastic way to create little messages to yourself that you can put up on your mirror or fridge. As a reminder to show yourself compassion.  Or to provide yourself positive encouragement. 

Within despair, through the dark, it stings inside. No one appreciates the anguish I endure, resulting in me baring the burden alone. With no respite, no one wants to see the blackness that sullies my soul. Only I can pull myself through each hurricane of torrential suffering. My only saving grace is blind optimism. The belief it will get better and I will be here tomorrow. Author's Note: Photo is of my first attempt at creating an abstract painting of flowers. 

  I lost my best friend on March 30 th , this past Tuesday. She was fourteen years old and literally saved my life on more than one occasion. Her friendship was invaluable. Her soul changed my life forever. I love her so much and already miss her.  Today, I created art that represented who she was. Wise, non-harming, intelligent, loving, devoted, and so much more.  Thank you, Lilly, for being an amazing friend and honoring me with your love and kindness.
