B R E A T H E: The Storm

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.

Something I thought of.

In the middle of an electrical storm.

The panorama was beautiful and inspiring.

Meaning...

Someone can be depressed and not realize it.

Being so focused on what has to be done

that we become oblivious to ourselves and our surroundings.

It is still a taboo subject in our society.

Many are misinformed or simply don't understand. :(
