It’s about to get dark… just for a bit.

A page in my art journal... from a not-so-happy time.

Anxiety. Depression. Fear. (etc…)
I want to talk about them, but not right now.

Why even bring it up ? Well, the truth is, I promised myself that I will make one of my very first entries about it. (Come to think of it, it’s not really a good way to start this particular blog adventure… ). But I just don’t know where and how to start.

Mental illness/disorder is something that I care a LOT about. I’ve had my fair share, so to speak, and when I imagine another soul being in such a state, my heart truly breaks. The mind is everything. When the mind suffers, everything else suffers; the being in its entirety suffers.
At the end of the day, peace of mind is the most valuable thing we could long for.

I don’t want to get too much into it…. So, I guess the point of this post is to:

a) bring a bit of  awareness to the suffering of mental illness and its seriousness.

b) fulfill a promise to myself.
