Let’s Talk

Don’t cheer for me because I got accepted, cheer for me because I’m breaking the standard.

I refuse to pray for a miracle.

My scars may be eternal, but they’re for darn sure not lifeless. They tell a story of survival.

Now that I’m aware of what today is, does that make today anymore valuable than tomorrow? Or yesterday? Nope, it sure doesn’t. Why? Because every day should be a day we fight and recognize mental health diseases.

“Pits of depression. / Bouts of angst. / Fists of fury. / Blade to… Stop. Put it away.”

An imperfect picture constantly rearranging,
Constantly aligning with the stars we can still see.

You were the girl before. // The girl before you learned to trust yourself.

We freaked out, but we’re better now. / We hoarded, but we have plenty now. / We prayed, but we wonder if it’s enough now. / We cried, but we’re running out of tears now.

I hope he’s a changed man saying he is a man of God….because if not, Lord help him.

Welcome, friends! I’m Savannah, or SJ, or Savannah J, or Sav, or Savvy—whatever you want to call me.

Have you ever thought about reaching out to or going to visit someone, but then they unexpectedly pass and you didn’t follow your heart? Guilt…

You and the Lord know where you stand (or whichever religion/etc. you follow).

It isn’t an illness you’re facing. It isn’t an issue. It isn’t a problem. It’s a disease. You have a mental disease.

You are never alone in your battle.
