Darkest Edges of my Mind
Suffering with both depression and anxiety has been one of the most difficult things I have had to deal with in my life, anxiety making me dread being around people or going into public, but depression making me feel absolutely alone and just wanting someone to be with me so I don't feel never-ending loneliness. Finding ways to cope with two illnesses that are the opposite of the other has been a nightmare, just a constant internal battle, me vs me, me against my own mind... I think to myself, "This isn't fair," but I know that I am not the only one who struggles with this battle. To see how many people struggle with anxiety and depression, or similar mental illnesses, is honestly sad, sad because so many people have to deal with their own mind as their enemy, among so many other things that go on in life, having your mind against you makes it hard to even get through the simplest things.

White Socked Angel
Castiel. I remember the first day I got him, my best friend's cat just had a litter of 6, and there I saw the tiniest of them, grey with the cutest little white socks (aka his perfect white paws) and I fell absolutely head over heels in love with him. When I brought him home he cried a lot, I did everything I could to make him comfortable, I made him a little bed in my chair and put it right next to my bed so he would never be alone, and still he cried. I bottle fed him, gave him wet food a little at a time, and still he cried. It wasn't until the 5th night, I lay asleep but I suddenly stirred awake, I didn't hear his small cries and became concerned, but before I could sit up, I felt his small paws making his way from my stomach to the nap between my neck and shoulder. He curled himself into a little ball there and fell fast asleep, I soon fell back to sleep to the sound of his precious snores.

Warmth Fills My Soul
Rain. So peaceful, so powerful, a force to be reckoned with but so beautiful to sit and watch. I find myself in sort of a trance, watching it fall, is like seeing the heavens shed a million glorious tears, shimmering in the moonlight like tiny teardrop diamonds. I lay by the window staring outside, watching the heavens tears fall against the glass, I reach over and light the wick of my favorite candle, pumpkin spice pie, I always feel as if I am being wrapped in pumpkin, cinnamon, and cloves.
