Making my Day

Sometimes you can go through life in a fog. Make decisions that you are not even sure why you made. I've done such things in my fog of depression. I've done things that I regret terribly. It's very hard to explain. I was present but I was also not present. It was also easy to make decisions because I had an excuse, I could be selfish and not feel bad, I could hide in my home and not go anywhere. Almost hiding myself. I've always been that person who buried themselves to accommodate others, to make sure others were happy and satisfied, even if I didn't feel satisfied.

The core of me has not changed, I still want the best for my friends and maybe as I change and grow I become better, I want for the world to be a happy place. I can still be an emotional mess but it's getting better every day.

I've come a long way in the last six months.

I feel accomplished with all the little changes and big changes I made.

I quit smoking over a year ago as well.

I've been in contact with some distant relatives through my genealogy research and that person got me in touch with my Gramps' step sister who showed him this photo. This is my Gramps and Me, I believe i was 2 in this photo. When we visited the farm.
