Hidden Treasure..
Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him. #PauloCoelho

When someone’s love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. #Discover #yourstreasure #AAD #differentglow

It’s taken more than I ever expected to discover that I’m exactly what I’ve hoped to be. I’ve constantly asked myself “what’s important to me?” along with the question, “am I okay with myself as I am right now?” And the answers have come during some of my darkest moments, even during some of my more quieter moments. There’s room for growth and improvement, but I am finally more happy with myself as I am now then I was when I was pretending to be confident. Strange, huh? Strange that struggling with seizures, depression, ptsd and anxiety, has allowed me to actually come to know myself better.

I wrote this poem years ago, not fully understanding why these words came to mind... but I’m beginning to understand now. To be true to my inner most self, I needed to stop looking outward and I needed to stop looking for “peer” validation. We each have so much potential, and sometimes to reach that potential, we have to step away from peer acceptance that more often than not is conditional. Love yourself unconditionally, learn who you really are, and you’ll find what I did: A self-confidence that’s real. #findingyourself #Discover #struggle #PsychogenicNonepilepticSeizures #Anxiety #PTSD #Dailychallenge #NeverGiveUp
