To start my sad story, I have been dealing
with severe depression and extreme anxiety for the better half of my
short 24 year old life. Suicidal thoughts constantly running through my
mind. Endless nights of crying over the turmoils life brings me. I am
successful in my career, but always feel like I fail. I had the most
important person in my life right next to me. Then watched as we fell
apart. Through my heartbreak I've learned a hundred lessons about life
and where we should be going. Family, friends and lovers were never
really important until now. You have to lose everything sometimes just
to see what life can bring you. As my depression continues to destroy me
day by day, there is always one thing I will have. And that's my love
for helping people. I believe in paying it forward and making things
right. Some people don't understand what it's like to be an introvert
with these feelings of love. And how to express it. The simple small
things will always make me feel better. For example I changed an elderly
woman's tire on the side of the freeway the other morning just out of
reaction, and I cried the whole half hour drive home. Not because I was
sad. But because of the pure joy I feel from helping people. if there is
one thing to take from my story, is love your community. It just might
save your life.
