The Reset

Hello Everyone!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I took a brief hiatus seemingly at the worst time for this website. At a time where everything appeared to be going well and the site reached over a thousand views! Thank you all for viewing my site, life unfortunately got in the way. I have been M.I.A from the site and my social media accounts because I’ve never wanted to be the person that gives excuses after excuses. No one really cares what excuses you have all they see is that you’re not producing work. 

I think it is important that I address this now because I’m taking back my life and my power. Depression is a topic that is often over looked and looked down upon in the black community. The holiday season for myself heightens the reality that I am often alone. Now this is not to say loneliness is the problem because it certainly is not. I am completely comfortable with enjoying myself alone. The issue is when you are hit back to back with continuous downs and no light in sight. 

The ending of 2017 into the beginning of 2018 have been tumultuous months for me. As I continued to battle and figure out different issues pertaining to my health. I slowly began to isolate myself and found myself spending my days going to work, class, then retreating to the darkness in my room. For those that I interacted with I shielded my true thoughts and put on a fake smile. My faith began to slip and I became depressed. Handling everything on my own and talking to no one about it was the most damaging thing I could have done. I had to acknowledge my reality and find a way to get back to me and my happiness. I needed to feel inspired and motivated again in order to keep pushing and keep living for me. 

I have come to the conclusion that in order to find that happiness again I needed to come out of hiding. It’s time for me to get back to work and continue to take back control over my life. So that is exactly what I aim to do. I am officially back and hope to get this site back up to where I intended for it to be. Thank you, if you took the time to read this post. It’s the most I’ve ever shared about myself to the majority. I just have to remember to “Walk by faith, not by sight” and for anyone else that is going through something please remember to keep this is mind. Don’t be afraid to talk to someone.
