The Struggle

I have wrestled for a long time with if and how to recollect the worst time in my life. Many people that knew the full story encouraged me to "write a book." My answer was always, "Who would want to read it?! And, who would believe it?" It was a dark, depressing, and sad time. Besides, I am not a writer. Honestly, I just didn't want to relive it.

There is no reason to exaggerate any of what happened. The situation itself was a ridiculous exaggeration. I also did not feel comfortable sharing something that came to an end. So many suffer without an end in sight. It certainly is more comfortable to be positive and encouraging about something that seemingly was conquered or at least has treatment.

So, I will share the insights and lessons I learned along the way, along with (some) of the trials I went through. I hope that this can be a source of encouragement during a difficult time or maybe just something to stir up gratefulness, a perspective change and, a re-prioritization.
