The Mighty

Oh Friends. If you have not checked out the resource that is The Mighty you must. It is a beacon of light in a stormy sea.

They host contributors from around the world with topics for people struggling with depression and all forms of mental health. Basically, that means, it’s for all of us.

The Mighty recently published an article I wrote about the process of writing your story. We know that journaling helps when we are feeling lost in our head and emotions. What if we kept going? What if we wrote down our entire story?

Well, I did. And it’s been a freeing process amongst a flow of other emotions. Holding my story in my hands is validating. It is truth-telling. It is all in one place.

It feels like freedom.

Do you have a hard story to tell? One that people question and don’t understand? One that you are trying to clarify in your own mind? A story that you need to put down on paper just for yourself?

It helps.

Thank you friends at The Mighty for being a light in the darkness. Thank you for letting a community of like-minded warriors find our voices. Thank you for letting me share my article.
