@taylorknoll: This has probably been one of the most difficult years of my life. I decided to go all in on a dream and was immediately met with bad weather that quickly turned into a tornado that is my life. An unexpected diagnosis. A parent giving into addiction. In and out of jail and hospitals because he’s lost all control. The horrible texts and phone calls telling me what bad person I am. The fear that hits me every time my phone rings, hoping it isn’t delivering bad news. The only people I felt like I could open up to called to another country. And then the one thing I find peace in is inevitably at a halt no doubt caused by stress and sleepless nights haunted by nightmares. All the while I am needed to hold it all together and be strong for those around me. I always knew I’d face something challenging at some point in my life. I felt God preparing me for times such as this. I didn’t crumble. I stood strong and am making it through one step at a time and one day at a time by the grace of God. At my weakest, I’m made strong because I stop trying to do it alone. #MentalHealth #addiction #godsplan #yourenotalone
