2015 was a pretty horrible year. I was diagnosed with a mental illness and let that stop me from accomplishing many things.
"New Year, New Me" is what everyone always says but I just don't see it. I ended 2015 with some of my best friends (see above) but inside I was still fighting my anxiety and depression. Depression is so taboo in my culture. "Estas loca" is something that's thrown around on the daily from people I know. I'm not "loca" I have an illness and I'm working on overcoming it. I didn't let my social anxiety and depression win last night. I went out and had a great time with friends. Yes, I struggled with my illness a good portion of the night but like I said I'm working on it. This year, I've decided to not let my illness win. I'm going to travel more. I'm going to explore. I'm going to take in life. Who knows what else may come from it. I'm stronger than my mental illness. It won't win.
