When Supergirl shows up at work.
 
 
 
And when Supergirl can't make it work.

Buddy Check 22

Every day, an average of twenty-two veterans and active duty service members take their own lives.

That is twenty-two too many.


While we should do this daily, I encourage you on the 22nd of every month to call and check your battle buddy. Military or not, we deserve to see each other tomorrow.

I have had my good days, okay days, and bad days. I have had medication changes that threw me for a loop. I have locked myself away hoping that things would no longer be. There were times in which I had plans; times I was afraid I would carry out my plans.

But everyday, when I wake up, I try to make a conscious decision to do something that makes that day worth it. Today I enjoyed the beauty of where I live and hiked a pillbox.

My Skeletons


The things that have caused me the most hurt and have led me to shut out those that I care about and who care about me I call 'my skeletons'. It is these skeletons in my closet that I am terrified someone will discover and see who I really am. If someone were to truly see me, my true weaknesses and vulnerabilities or learn of the decisions that I have made, could I still not be judged? Could I still be loved?
 
I know everyone will say "yes, of course you will still be loved." But after everything I have seen and done, I do not easily trust words. I have learned to trust actions.
