BREATHE... a journal

This blog is a preview for my memoirs. Sort of a journal. I like to post some of my ideas and inspirations here.

The journal has about 145 pages written so far and will also feature some of my artwork and pictures. Not a book. Not a comic book. CHAOTIC, like me.

As you can see, I am not writing in a typical format. The pages might look like poems but it's simply because I like things short and simple. Clean.

If you have ever experienced depression, you know that reading a book with pages filled with words is discouraging and you quickly lose interest...

BREATHE focuses on what I have learned and experienced so far, after the loss of my dad and the depression that followed.
I started writing to vent, but it has led me to knowing myself a bit better-- my limits, my dreams.

GO GO GO!

Why do you think there are so many energy drinks around these days?
People are tired. Drained.
Trying to cope and achieve a healthy balance between work, family, chores...
Activities & sleep are always last on the list.

It's always GO, GO, GO!
I cannot survive in that world anymore.
I tried again & again.
It can't be done anymore.

Health care problems were never such an issue.
The amount of prescribed drugs each year is phenomenal!
Insurance companies can't wait to get people back on their feet.
But I think it will only get worse before it gets better.

The world needs a break.
People are stressed, infertile, depressed!
Barely surviving!

I met so many people who are not even 30 yet,
Who have suffered burnout or depression.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL!

People are always pushed to achieve more
With less time and resources.

Is there hope?
