I've tried writing blogs before, typically I got bored after a few posts and they faded into oblivion. I'm hoping that won't be the case this time. I have too much in my head that needs to find a new place to reside.
So a little about me, I'm 25, a female (hopefully you picked that up from the title), I live in St. Louis. I have an amazing family who support me to the nth degree. I have a dog named Harper who likes to flip between being a complete psycho and the sweetest thing in the world. I have a job that I am extremely passionate about and enjoy going to everyday. Those are the things that the world uses to define me. The three things that seem to be defining me more these days are depression, anxiety, and hypersensitivity disorder. Seems like a fun trifecta, right?
Those past three have made the last year of my life a very interesting journey. I've had some wonderful highs and some gut-wrenching lows. I am working my hardest to try to sort out the pieces of my life that I don't seem to understand or have a firm grasp on. Even still, there are thoughts in my head that don't seem to leave unless they are verbalized...and if you know me well enough, you know that being coherently verbal isn't always my strong suit. Writing on the other hand; writing has always been a comfort, easy, a release.
That's what has brought me here. The need for a release beyond my family, beyond my friends, beyond my therapist, and most importantly beyond my own head. Life is a strange path, I never fully realized that until the past few months...but more on that later...I've been putting off the real world for long enough today.
