In the last year I’ve lost my only sibling and best friend to a drinking problem that was a direct result of untreated PTSD all because he had the desire to fight for our country. Six months later, the love of my life died of a drug overdose after a long bout of sobriety. This was the man I was supposed to marry. Four months later, my grandmother succumbed to old age...and now my father was just hospitalized. I spent the holidays just thinking how little I have left after this year and now my Dad?! Please don’t take him too! It’s like the clouds never seem to let up, like every positive thing that happens to me ten more negatives come from it. Everyone tells me how strong I am but do you have a choice at that point? Sure, I can slap a smile on my face and go through the motions of an average day and pretend but I feel like the light I once had is forever gone. I know life isn’t fair and it isn’t easy but for once I wish someone would worry about me...I wish someone would see I’m not ok, that maybe I’m not as strong as perceived. I just need a break in the clouds, a moment to breathe...
