Surviving Me: Because you can be your own worst enemy sometimes.
Welcome to my blog where my mission is to reach people just like me; those who feel trapped by their own thoughts sometimes.
In today’s society, being vulnerable means being weak. People choose to suffer in silence and give the perception that they are OK rather than be open and honest about what they are going through. We all struggle with internal battles but my hope is that through my vulnerability, people will recognize the healing that comes from simply opening up.
Hello, hello, hello!
Thank you so much for taking the time to pay my page a visit. My name is Briana and I am a 30 year old Lupus, Depression, and Anxiety survivor! For the majority of my life I let these issues consume me but in April of 2019 I decided to start on my journey to peace and joy. Notice I didn’t say happiness because happiness usually flees at the first sign of adversity. I was looking for a joy and peace that sustained me through my darkest times. I can’t say that everyday is butterflies and rainbows and quite honestly, the lamp that lit my path, dimmed significantly after my mom passed in April of 2021 but I have found comfort in knowing that dark times don’t last always. I’ve gained a stronger appreciation for life knowing that it’s not meant to be perfect but it’s meant to be lived thoroughly and authentically. Join me on my journey to the version of myself that can look back on life and be grateful for all things. The version of myself that is healed.
