My comfort is being uncomfortable,
It can be found in the gym,
It can be found in my writing,
It can be found in my photographs.
Comfort is an illusion,
It is a place where ideas go to die,
It is a false haven,
It is pit of despair.
Being comfortable is an illusion,
It carries the same guarantees as security,
It is a trap to kill dreams,
It is the slayer of success.
The best comfort is to be uncomfortable,
Growth lives here,
Success lives here,
Helping others lives here.
Seek comfort in times of necessity,
Do not give in to the comfort,
Do not stay in comfort,
Do not trade personal impact for comfort.
Comfort that comes in fleeting moments,
Cuddling my dog is comfort,
My home is comfort,
A loving embrace is comfort.
This is my comfort,
This is my peace,
This is my security blanket,
This is my armor.
What is yours?

Paws on My Heart
If it were not for Mollee and Dexter, I would not be alive today. Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with chronic PTSD, anxiety, and depression because of my time in the military. Over the years of having Mollee and Dexter, I did not know for sure I had PTSD until after Mollee passed away last November. My family and friends love me but only one understands me and she is not located extremely close to me, so Mollee and Dexter have been my support system for over a decade.
