Haven’t posted in a little bit, here’s a very personal piece I did after my 18th birthday. Inspired slightly by “Famous Last Words” by MCR, the title/text is lyrics from the song.

CW below: discussion of my past battles with depression, loss.

2023 was a big year for me because I consider it the year I really fought and overcame the depression I had in high school. When I was 11 years old, I lost my mother as she lost her fight to bipolar and depression. I struggled a lot with mental health throughout my teens years. I felt hopeless, and I thought I’d never be able to live as an adult and be happy since I was so reliant on others for support. 2023 was a lot of change (such as going fully online for school), letting go of toxic things and habits, and trying new things to achieve growth. I can confidently say I’ve come to find love in my life in many forms- most importantly love for myself. I know to anyone fighting depression the future can seem bleak. Believe me when I say I’ve been there, and I’m now at a place I thought I wasn’t possible. I’m not afraid of the fears that plagued me, I just had to be brave.

Also I do have a semicolon tattooed which is present here. I did it on a whim when I was 16, and I think I want to add more around it someday!
