Another Day With…-pt 7

Sep 10

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Today, September 10, 2021, more than anything I want another day with me. Without another day with me, myself, I cannot have another day with you. Nine years ago, I did not feel worthy of another day. Thoughts from both outside and inside pounded my mind. With the support of lots of folks around me; trusted and trained mental health professionals, patient and caring friends, and family who were willing to become educated about my struggles, I was able to find hope. I am on a continuous journey of healing, and I am learning to love myself more and more daily. That is why I can say with warmth in my heart that today, I want another day with me. I want another day to get to know who I truly am, my full set of gifts, talents, strengths, and even ways in which I need to grow. I want to learn more of my dislikes and quirks. I want to get to be my best friend and biggest ally and cheerleader. I want to get to know more interesting humans (and their fur babies too). So, I want another day with me, so I can have another day with you.
