Blink 182: Adam's Song

I love this song, and not just because my name's in the title. ;-)

I love that they bravely took on the topic of depression and suicide ideation. 

I think that sometimes just having one's feelings acknowledged can make all the difference.

There's no shame in seeking help.

I struggled with depression and suicide ideation into my forties. The depression still comes on at times but I've learned to cope with it better and it seems to resolve more quickly. I don't take medications. I think learning good coping skills is key, but I would certainly never put down anyone who feels that they need medication. Taking medication in no way makes you a weak person.

One size does not fit all, each of us needs to find the way that works!

Love,

DJ Adam

Y is for You

Hey, you!

Yeah, you!

You know, you're okay in our book.

We all get these messages that we're not good-looking enough to be someone important.

Maybe you're kinda socially awkward. I totally am.

Maybe you have a physical illness that holds you back. I have fibromyalgia.

Maybe you have a mental illness. I do.

You're probably not a glamorous fashion model or video vixen or body builder or movie star type. I'm sure not.

But like Joe shows us in his video, the most commonplace things and the most commonplace people are works of art, and they have a story to tell.

Your story is worth telling, Common Person.

And it may be a lot more interesting than the story of Glamorous Person.

One of the alternate meanings of "glamour" is enchantment or spell. A "glamor" is something unreal.

I may like writing about magic, but I prefer dealing with people who are real, imperfect, quirky, and most of all, kind hearted.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a good day.

Joe's video follows the jump.

 

Peace.

Illsa

Be Your Best You

I Am Me

Surround Yourself with the Best

Trust me on this. If you have fuckers in your life who are always challenging your every word and belittling your every thought and action, you need to get them out of your life sooner rather than later. The longer you let them hang on, the more of your soul they will suck away, and then it will take a long time to get your belief in yourself back.
