"Hate it or love it; there is a fact about us as humans, especially us 'so-called' progressive, and technologically advanced millennials, post-millennials, and Gen Z'ers. We have proven that we sadly believe that we are only as good as we are concluded to be better than someone else." 
I'm not sure if you know this or not (and I know you do), but the internet is proving to be bad for your health.  Specifically, social media.  Even more specific, mental health.
 
Senior Contributor, Alice G. Walton, composed an article for Forbes called "New Studies Show Just How Bad Social Media is for Mental Health." Within the writing, she outlined specifically how sites like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter were aiding in the decline of its user's mental well-being.  The article talks about several studies done by universities and researchers concerning social media and its impacts on our mental health.

No, Mental Illness is NOT Trendy!  (Post #63)

"However, until we start a dialogue with the uninformed who hope to become allies, I believe it will never be trendy, only tragic."
It has been said that the conversation about “mental illness” in the 21st century, is one that’s become trendy and chic. 
 
Yeah (sigh), okay.
 
In fairness, I understand why such a thought may exist.  I believe this notion stands because for the first time in our western society, conversations about mental health are actually happening, and (even better) they’re accepted.  No, we aren’t talking about mental health now because it’s some new phenomenon.  Make no mistake about it, I believe that the need to address mental health, has been a real-world matter for as long as mankind has been in existence.

"However, after watching this clip, I came to realize that this new social grace hasn’t been so equally given to individuals in prominent leadership."
It was Saturday morning.  I was coming from my son’s flag football game and I was on an emotional high.  I was very proud of my guy; he caught every pass directed to him (2 receptions) and he even scored a touchdown.  They won their game decisively.  In honor of his win, he requested to go to Chik-Fil-A to eat lunch, and to that I was glad to oblige. 
 
As I waited in the line of the drive thru, which by the length you’d think the sandwiches were free, I took a moment to scroll through Twitter to catch up on the “happenings” of the internet.

Can you Please Teach me How am I Supposed to Mourn? (Post #45)

"I believe one of the many factors that ignites a bout with mental illness in the latter years in life, is one’s inability, ignorance, or outright refusal to properly process pain and grief."
​So, on the date of this writing I received a call from a very wonderful soul. She was in a state of mourning because the date of her dialing me, was the birthday of her dearly departed.

​So, here’s the question:  if I’m already challenged by my mandatory and very necessary truth, why in the world would I then seek additional and very unnecessary pain, by concerning myself with what EVERYBODY thinks of me?

Word of the Week is "Success" (Post #23)

Success is essentially the fulfillment of a purpose or objective. In other words, if a thing does what it ought to do, then the thing is deemed successful.  Therefore, if our chase for success is wrong, then our pursuit for purpose will be also. ​

Fact:  “Depression is a serious medical illness; it is not something that you've made up in your head.”  If a Christian can have cancer, HIV, shingles, a cold, and MS; then certainly they can suffer with depression.  Depression is real and if we don’t deal with it, it will deal with us.
