Writing is the key to express my inner soul and the demons within. It’s a way to release my dreams along with a vivid, wild imagination. Some are based on truth while I look to the future to answer questions of who we are and where do we come from.

I reach deep within the darkness of my soul to bring to light of what is or what can be. As I write about “Darkness Within”, my heart is troubled by the amount of suicides we hear of everyday. Unfortunately, it’s only the famous who really get recognized, as others will suffer in silence.

Within days two icon personalities have left us. Kate Spade and now Anthony Bourdain. Not long ago we heard of Robin Williams. All were gifted souls with incredible talent. As human beings we must not forget about those struggling in their darkness of despair, putting on a “pretend face” in public, scared to reach out due to being ridiculed as weak or loosing supposed friends.

The Darkness Within

Chronic depression is a serious illness that can consume individuals, casting a long shadow over their lives. The stigma surrounding mental health often prevents people from seeking help, leaving them to battle their demons alone.

It’s crucial to remember that those struggling with depression need support, understanding, and compassion. We must break down the barriers of shame and stigma and create a safe space for open conversations about mental health.

My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones to depression. The pain and grief can be overwhelming.

I wrote Soul Saver as a way to reach out and offer hope to those facing similar challenges. By sharing my own experiences, I hope to inspire others to seek help and find solace in the company of others.

Let’s break the silence and support those affected by depression.
