I'm not throwing away my shot

Hello there!

Welcome to my blog! I've been planning on doing this for ages now but I always end up backing out. FINALLY, here I am! 

I've written out a few posts in advance in case I ever get writers block but I plan to put something out once a week, so there's lots to look forward to here, (I know you're screaming in anticipation!) These posts could be about pretty much anything, but I plan to write about my experiences with depression and other mental health issues, as well as many rants about my favourite big man J. 

The main purpose of this blog is to use my voice. I believe that everyone has one, and we all have things that we have experience in and therefore shed light on for others. 
For too long I've been hiding in the shadows, embarrassed about my struggles with depression over the years. If I want to make an impact in the world of mental health, how on earth can I do so if I'm afraid to talk about my own experiences?

So here I am! I'm not gonna throw away my shot (I hope you get the reference in the song above, this is definitely an excuse to introduce you all to the second best musical ever ♥)

I only have one more thing to say, and that is to encourage you to use your own voice. We all have things that we can use to help others, whether that's experiences or general knowledge or simply just nice words that people can read and smile too (you'd be surprised by how much that can mean sometimes, just having a small smile). Use your voice. Be a world changer. I'd love to hear from you.

-May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him.
