We only get one chance to lead a happy life, and my goal is to make sure I do just that. I spent my teenage years and early twenties suffering from severe depression, and always felt like new hardships were constantly popping up in my life. Then I moved to Asheville in 2009, and things got much better. And then, once again, more unexpected difficulties and the struggle against my self-deprecating mind started anew. Now 27, I’ve learned how to deal in a more constructive way, and I’m much more focused on my own happiness, learning to love myself despite my differences, and teaching myself how to lead a healthier, happier, more authentic life.
I started this blog for a few reasons. First, I love to write. I’ve had blogs before, and was getting the itch again. Second, I’ve found that blogging helps to keep me motivated. I look forward to accomplishing things, and sharing my experience with others. And third, there aren’t a lot of support for adults with speech impediments, and since that’s a huge component of my life and the one thing that has been the hardest to learn to love about myself, I thought that having a platform for discussions on that topic would be helpful both to myself and for other people.
