About Me

Orlando, Florida, United States
I'm a thirty-five year old single woman navigating the dating world. For the most part, my life is ok, I have a career that I love, and good friends and family. I’m diagnosed with depression and anxiety which complicates life sometimes. This is basically an outlet or diary of my life. I don’t always like to express my feelings directly to others, it’s much easier to write them down.

Yoga

Yoga is an excellent way to help beat depression, build flexibility, and strength. I was feeling tired and after doing a little bit of cardio and yoga, I felt so much better from the boost of endophines from the session. Whenever I'm feeling tired and depressed, a bit of mindfulness from yoga always lifts my spirit.

Long Time

I've been kind of hibernating for the last couple of weeks. I work everyday on trying to be what I call "Zen" which is being positive, happy, being fair to everyone, embracing love or pain, not hiding from what is going on, and being conscious of what going on around me. I did let some negative things get to me but I'm tired of being tired. Sometimes I cry and it hurts and I ask myself "why me?" I'm a good person that deserves better. I told myself that I was going to be happy this year and I was not going to give into self pity and depression. I found this great book, The Wisdom of No Escape, which is teaching me that you should not trying to avoid pain, it's impossible. You have to go through it, learn, and overcome it. I'm working on my meditation practice to overcome unhappiness by reminding myself to let go of simple small mindedness things. My ultimate goal is happiness, gentleness, honesty, and leaving positive energy after every foot prints.
