People have always perceieved me as a Happy, Optimistic, Positive person. When you hear my name I guarantee people associate it with a Smile. However, A Smile can mask almost anything. For over a decade I have battled Depression and finally feel the need to Share My Story, My Experiences, And My Dark Side. I’m embarking on a journey to explore my own Mind for answers to the Problems and Difficulities I face, While revealing a personal side of my life to connect with others. I am not a Therapist, nor am I trying to be one. This is a starting point to encourage Men to prioritize their Mental Health, Open Up, and recognize that expressing themselves is perfectly normal.
