Why I've been away

My Sweet Kindred Sisters and Brothers..

I am finally at a point in my life where I feel I can come back here. The last 3 years of my life have been the worst! Some of you know me from when I came here seeking solace from my mind and comfort for my heart... I was welcomed with open arms and have never forgot the comforting words and kindness I was shown here. Alot of you are my friends on Facebook so i have been able to somewhat keep up... I am writing this with big tears streaming down my face due to such a mixture of emotions. Life is so hard and sometimes its so difficult to put into words my feelings and what I'm trying to express to each of you about me...
I won't go into the specifics of what has happened to me in the last 3 years (I would be writing for days)but the result has been a huge depression that I am finally coming out of. I wanted to give up and on one of my worst days I put "I Give Up" on my FB status.. the most surprising thing about that is that YOU my Kindred Souls knew 100% that I was having a rough time. My Family didn't even figure it out... I want to share a poem that was sent to me... Copy this read it again and again keep it close to your heart and never forget your worth.... and DON'T EVER GIVE UP!!

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
