The second I turned 17 I started experiencing a decline in my mental health. I could never stay consistently happy, and I found so much comfort in feeling BAD for myself. Depression was like an addiction.

In my mind any and everything wasn’t good enough… or more importantly I wasn’t good enough. I couldn’t be the best son, brother, friend, student, athlete, artist, creative, etc. 

HOWEVER it gets greater later! 

After learning how to truly take a step back and observe life through a lens of gratitude and understanding, I was able to find fulfillment in the life I CHOOSE to live each day. Running has always been an outlet of mine since I was a child. It gave me a chance to experience freedom. To put a distance between me and everything that was mentally chasing me down. A source of physical exertion to alleviate the mental taxation I woke up with every morning.

To be creative is to look at yourself uniquely. You are one of a kind and not every plan or program is fit to suit you. You must tap into your creativity and create the building blocks of joy around you. It’s time to let go of the nonsense holding you down and CREATE THE BEAUTY AROUND YOU!
