Today has been a little emotional roller coaster. And in like zero to light speed the self depreciation took offffffffffff *insert rocket ship here*

So I got realllllly sad for a moment. Not really ready to share those thoughts but I did take a breath in the midst of my tears and decided to look where I was on this day one year ago. I reminded myself that September of last year I still didn’t have a job. I was only 9 months out and I was terrified. Of everything.

Turns out a year ago today I was also having a mental break down! lmfaoooooo

No but that second paragraph, where I tell myself to zoom out. That, that helped me today too. Maybe it’ll help someone else too.

Why am I doing this? Because there is a hole. There is a connection hole. I think more people feel alone than are willing to admit. And don’t know who or how to reach out. And I am tired of being a part of the hole, I’d rather fill it.

If you’re reading this, maybe you feel alone. Maybe you feel misunderstood. Still dealing with hurt you feel like you should be over. Maybe you’re just nosy. Idk. lol. But hi, my name is Casey. And I want you to know it will be okay. We are fighters and will come out better for it. You are not alone. Even if sometimes life circumstances make you feel like you are, you’re not. I’m sending you *hugs* – those deep “I care for you and it will be okay” kind of hugs.

That’s why I’m doing this. Because I was lost and I want to be a beacon in the darkness.

Me in the darkness like “Yo bitch – this way – this way is the light – I found it!” No human left behind baby!

Btw – Betterhelp.com is a great resource on places to start and it’s only $265 a month for weekly sessions and tons of video resources and support groups. Truly. It’s where I started, at midnight on NYE – someone is up.

Anyway, that’s it for tonight, it’s gonna be okay. pull up your big girl pants and take on life like the big girl you are (or whatever).

Much love ❤ ❤ ❤
