I\'m Veronica, I\'m 34 yrs old and have always had the desire to write but I pushed my dream of being a writer aside to live a daily life working and supporting my family and their needs. I recently found myself and want to pursue this dream at all costs. I am very artistic and can adapt in any situation, which makes it easier for me to write. So I ask for any type of constructive criticism, inputs are welcome and I\'ll do my best to improve. My life was never rainbows and butterflies, but rather dark and empty. It may seem all good on the surface but underneath it I\'m struggling to survive.
Sometimes people live their whole lives searching for a perfect mate, someone who will complete them. We don't get to choose what life has in store for us, because sometimes life will throw us a curve ball, and completely flip your world upside down. Love never really has a type or who it's supposed to happen to because this romance happened out of nowhere, I literally was caught off guard. I had no intention of falling in love, because at the time I was too busy loving myself and my life inspiring others to want to live a healthier lifestyle. The crazy part about this story is the woman I'm about to tell you about actually belonged to an ex friend of mine. Like I said life will throw curve balls and completely rearrange your whole life, all for love. When I was caught in that moment of captivating something as beautiful as love; I immediately took that leap without knowing where I would fall, because for me life is all about taking chances.
I faced dark times I'm my life before and I've been close to death more than a few times. I didn't really understand how devisating life can be until I was at the center of the controversy. I was always at fault, I couldn't do anything right and I was never really enough for anyone. That's how we began to forget our self worth and little by little we end up losing ourselves, sometimes we even lose our fight against life.We ignore all the signs because we get called weak for asking for help. So we sweep these feeling back under the rug and continue living as if we are fine. Days are going to come when we aren't fine and if nobody is there to help we will lose the battle. It happens far too often for us to just stand by pretending that it won't happen. Suicide is real and we need to be more aware of how we treat others because they may be facing their own battle and your words of actions could be what puts them over the edge. We need to be considerate in today's day and age suicide rates are skyrocketing. I don't want to just stand by, but be the voice someone needs to hear.
