Who are you most inspired by?
People who live with mental illness inspire me.
The invisible illness that, even today, some people still refuse to accept as real.
People who struggle every day just to get out of bed and have a shower because they are in a dark place.
People who fight the urge to give up every day because they are ever so tired.
People who force themselves to talk to a friend on the phone, even when they want to curl up in a ball and be a hermit.
People who move through their lives with resilience when hiding away would be easier.
People who refuse to let the darkness win every moment, and still manage to find something to laugh at.
People who ignore the ignorant do-gooders who offer the same advice of, “Just stop thinking about it.”
People who argue with their own minds daily and fight an invisible battle that no one else can see.
These are the warriors.
Because one of the hardest things in life is to battle a darkness within yourself.
