Old Tonight Show reference. You probably don't get it unless you're over 35. (It might make a little more sense after you read my post -- so go check it out.)
I am guest posting today over at depressions and confessions. (I can't capitalize it because she doesn't. It's kind of making me nuts not capitalizing it, but I'll try to let it go.)
depressions and confessions (okay, that one really makes me crazy because it's at the beginning of a sentence) is written by Alexis, a beautiful and very intelligent young woman. No wonder people are afraid of her.
She is direct and will discuss anything and everything. She's struggled with depression and believes it's important to discuss mental health issues, to take away some of the stigma. Remind you of anyone you know?
Maybe that's why I enjoy her blog so much. If she has an opinion, she shares it. She doesn't apologize for it. And she welcomes differing opinions (but please try to be respectful about it). She's open about her life and her flaws.
I love her Awkward Thursday posts where she writes about things that may be tough for some. One of my favorites is self-sabotage and the modern woman. Another important post was the life that might have been, about her miscarriage. A topic too many people understand personally. And her favorite recent post is marriage before midgets, or how she chooses to put her marriage first.
Some of her writings get people all stirred up. I love her no-apologies, make-you-think style. I think you will, too.
And if you're new to my blog, welcome. It's pretty easy to navigate. My favorite posts are over there on the top right corner. Make sure you read the Warning and About Me boxes so you know what you're getting yourself into. My blog is where I empty my head. These are some of the things my blog will never be/have. I'm known to get a little snarky. I also fight depression on a semi-regular basis; sometimes I win, sometimes not so much. I try to keep the heavier mental health issues on my other blog, The Difficult Things.
If I haven't driven you off yet, stay a while and take a look around. Welcome to my world. And don't mind the mess.
