Dare to be unique. Dare to be *YOU*

 Hello again, Hope you've all been doing well and that you're happy :) Things are looking up on my end of things. I'm not sure what has changed or if it's just baby steps that are finally paying off but it's a relief to know that I can still feel happy and content. I still have lots of work to do, I mean, working on ourselves is an ever ending process. I guess I'm just gonna ride this wave and enjoy it while it lasts. I'm feeling more like myself every day. It's a good feeling. Happy Friday the 13! 

How come manic episodes last a minute and are followed by months/years of a more depressive state? I miss being manic, it was closer to my real personality. I use to be energetic, motivated, go-go-go kind of person. If you met me now you wouldn't say so... Is it enough to just function? Just going through the motions without really living... I don't recognize myself anymore. Everything I use to love to do I barely do anymore... Getting up in the morning is a chore. Getting through the day is a struggle. I need to kick myself in the butt just to do the simplest tasks. I'm not really depressed, I would say I'm more neutral. I don't get excited about things anymore. Every day is just more of the same.  Hopefully things turn around soon... 

 I dream of a world where everyone is free to be themselves. A world where most people aren't under different spells. A world where there is no less fortunate, where everything is fair. A world where nothing else would compare.  A world where happiness is the trend. A world where the truth we do not bend. I dream of a world where kindness spreads faster than hate.  A world where it isn't so hard to have faith. A world where the sky is always blue A world where, to our hearts we can be true. A world where we can fly higher than the sun. A world where we realize we are all one. What does your dream look like?

Hi Everyone, Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live life to the fullest every single day. I think it would be exhilarating and full of adventure. I wonder and dream about what it would be like to achieve that life. What am I missing? How can I make this dream a reality? How can I turn this brain fog and uninspired living around and live my best life? Step 1: Be grateful for the life I have Step 2: Do something that sparks joy everyday. Even if it's something small Step 3: Step out of my comfort zone as often as possible Step 4: To be continued...

Some days I laugh at the silly thoughts I have and other days it feels like I'm climbing Mount Everest just to get through the day...The main thing is that I win the battle against myself everyday... I just wish I could take out my brain and analyze it like a computer. That way maybe I could get to the bottom of why I'm feeling the way I am and I could work on fixing it. On paper I have everything I need to be happy. I have every reason to be proud of the life I'm living yet I'm just not feeling it... I keep trying to snap out of it and I wish I knew how I could. I keep telling myself that tomorrow will be better yet tomorrow gets here and it's just more of the same. I debated whether or not I should post this and ultimately came to the conclusion that we can't always have good days and me being vulnerable and putting everything out there might be the best way to get over this funk. And if it can help even just one person feel like they're not alone then I ...

May you have courage to be who you are May you have dreams that take you far May you not carry more than you can hold May the path before you unfold May love find you on your weakest days May you find your way out of this maze May you ultimately win this fight May you find your way back to the light -Michelle Soucy

 Hello friends, It's been over a year since my last post, time flies... It seems I'm not very good at consistently keeping up a blog lol What's been going on with me in the past year? Well... I've struggled for a while because of my bipolar disorder... This year has been all about trying to find balance and being more adaptable. No matter what life throws my way I always find a way through it but this year has really been a trying year. I have to admit, I still don't feel 100% but I'm working hard everyday towards becoming the best possible version of myself. Hope you guys are doing well xo
