Two years ago, I had it all. An amazing job, a great boyfriend and a stable, wonderful family. Then my cousin died, my job went away, my boyfriend and I broke up and my Mom had a break down. This is my true story of how I went from having it all to having nothing at all. And this is my journey out - ONE FUN ADVENTURE at a time until I find my way back to me. 'Cause, after spending over 100 days in bed, I've realized, I don't want to live that way anymore.

I'm overwhelmed and feel so loved by all your comments. All I can say is... yes, I will continue to be honest about the harder things to talk about as you have encouraged me to do... thank you for that.
Just like you, I am finding my own way and I am glad we are reaching out and rooting each other on to do so. So much love... xoxoxo
By the way... even better quotes than Mr. Walter Blake... pulled right from our very own comments section.

Life is such a gift... so, how does the story end? This is your story and it all depends... so, don't let it become, get out and do what you were meant to do... we live, we love, we forgive and never give up, because the days we were given are gifts from above... - Anji
... the truth is behind the boring... - Quinn H
I've found that people feel more drawn when you lay your soul bare and rattle your skeleton. - Hey Jen
As a member of "the club," I've noticed people deal with this dark knowledge in two ways: they cling, control, and suffocate their lives to unsuccessfully prevent the great unknown from happening, or they accept, embrace, and cherish what they've been given because they intimately know the transcience of it all. I hope the latter is true for you - that's what I want from you. - Sherene
That's the most beautiful show of support I have ever felt. I figure if I'm ever doubting myself about being honest or feeling the cloak of fear coming over me, all I have to do is pull up this blog post and read all your comments below. I LOVE YOU GUYS!
