Well I am here to proudly say, that I am not depression. I am not anxiety. I am so much more.
Just by making this blog I have placed a giant label on myself that says DEPRESSED. But guess what? That's not me. That's just a sickness I have. That's just my brain pumping out the wrong chemicals. Want to know who I really am?
I am Samara. I am kind, hard-working, loyal, smart, and loving. I enjoy painting and reading and anything outdoors. I love to go on adventures. I write poetry sometimes. And sometimes it's even good when other people help me. I think that I'm funny. (I'm that terrible person that laughs at all of my own jokes.)
And you are so much more than your faults and weaknesses. You are a wonderful person!
Write down who you REALLY are and leave it in a comment. Help me help other people by helping yourself. (Did that even make any sense?? Probably not. Oh well. Just comment.)
This is also who I am:
A Fourth of July Lover
A twin
A Ukrainian
A Gypsy
An Awesome Sibling
An Artist (kind of)
A Best Friend
A Fun-Lover
(I also have obviously had about a million hair styles in the past. Just don't worry about it.)

Samara,
I hope you don't mind that I read your blog. I think you are very talented! You have a lovely way of wording things, it is very clear and expressive. I also think you are an excellent artist! Your pictures really captivate the feelings I think you are trying to express. Depression is a hard thing, as is anxiety, but I think by you doing this, it will help you and others! All in all, I think you are amazing and lovely!!! Thanks for sharing yourself!!
Labels.....hmmmmm....
I don't like labels - but I am a bunch of them rolled up together.
I am an American, that believes that the Constitution is the foundation that made our nation the greatest on earth.
I am a former Marine. Not as lean - not as mean - but still a Marine.
I am a Utahn. I love the fact that I can plan on sunshine almost every day. I like having 4 distinct seasons.
I am a husband and father. I have six children that I think of and pray about everyday.
I am a Latter Day Saint. I am striving to become the man Heavenly Father wants me to be. I sometimes go farther back than I do forward. This frustrates me, and yes - even depresses me. Being depressed depresses me.
I love to laugh. I like to make other laugh. I laugh at myself, and I laugh at my own jokes too. Sometimes I am my best audience.
In front of a crowd am outgoing.
A a member of the crowd I am shy.
Thank you both for sharing. Of course it is okay if you read my blog Marci! And thank you for your kind words they really do mean a lot.
Mark I am glad that you put your true self up. Like you, in front of a crowd I am outgoing, but as a member I am shy. Thank you so much for sharing it with everybody!
