You have no doubt seen or heard the commercials: "Where does depression hurt? EVERYWHERE. Who does depression hurt? EVERYONE." Mental illnesses can consume you, take over your entire life and hurt everyone around you if you let it. I am no exception.

My life feels like I am stuck riding on a rollercoaster in the middle of a hurricane. I have ups and downs, and I have left a path of destruction in my wake. My sanity dangles on a tiny fragile string, and through this blog I am giving the world a look into my broken mind and my unstable life.

In the end, I am just a girl trying to maintain my sanity in a candy-coated world of misery. Here you'll get a glimpse at just how true those commercials are. Keep your arms and legs inside the blog at all times, hold on tight, and prepare yourself for a very bumpy ride ...

Moments that take our breath away....


A while back I wrote about how I don't believe in coincidences and about how a specific quote had to mean something specific to my life.... (read the blog entry here).

Last night after work, I was feeling kind of crappy and was trying to take my mind off my life issues, and I picked up Sunday's ad for Kohl's. I never look at the Kohl's ad, but it was in the stack of newspaper ads that I grabbed on my way out of the office Friday night.

As I was flipping through the ad, I spotted the same quote yet again in a small photo (see above): "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." It's popped up a few other times in various places since that previous blog entry. I really think God and/or fate is trying to tell me something through this quote.

Maybe instead of striving for so-called happiness, I should just be looking for those special moments that take my breath away...
