Why I Write

When I go through something, I shut myself down. Then, when I get a bit of perspective on the situation, I write down what I think. And I share it on social media as if it was going to make a difference for you.

But to be honest, I’m doing it for me. I’m doing it because I like to look back on what I did a year ago, two years ago etc. and I think of where I was mentally and what I’ve been through. And when I look back on those pictures, I like to look back at the thoughts I had then. So here goes 2019 Nelly: When something or someone makes you feel like you’re worth nothing, and you spiral into thinking your life isn’t going anywhere and you feel like you don’t have control. Take a few steps back to be able to step forward again, step by step. It’s hard, and it’s easy to think you’re alone. You’re not. Grab life by the balls again. It’s gonna be alright, right? 

Fall 2018 was hard, but you made it and you got a new start. Fall 2017 was hard, but you made it.
