This was initially sent to newsletter subscribers January 1, 2022. I want to talk about struggle. It is a new year, and often that comes with a lot of reflections on accomplishments, looking back to see how far you’ve come. And it’s true, I have come a long way this year. I’ve gone from being severely depressed, not leaving the house for weeks at a time, unable to escape my own hateful thoughts, to being happier than I’ve ever been in my life. I’ve also gone from having an idea for a book project to an actual book manuscript, professionally edited, with an ISBN, a professionally hired artist, two contributors, and everything. These two things are intertwined, and I’ve had such a difficult time writing this newsletter because it’s impossible to separate the two. My journey of recovery and my commitment to this project, telling my story, are the same.
