I first met Moonflower after I had set up my own Mental Health Literature page. She asked me to be an affiliate, and I agreed. After sometime, I became a co-Admin. It would easily appear, and truthfully so, that she, myself, and the other Co-Admins have long abandoned this page to the winds. I would hope this post negates that, as would the continued existence of our gallery, and the submissions made therein. I will not mince too many words. She, myself, and Us, are Mentally Ill. We abandon projects much like we abandon our lives. We give up easily. We find a raw injection of Strength, and seem to blitz through obstacles with relative ease. Then, the next day, we slink back down into a rut. Such is our nature, most of the times.
Like my own page, Written-Madness, I have neglected it for some time, and have only recently returned to moderately Admin it. And I give the same haphazard promise here. Regardless of these Airy declaration, I will say this: Continue. Our struggle is...our struggle. There is no other way to put it. Our lives are unique. Have been unique. Full of a spike of normal emotion and experience, that the common populace shirks, avoids, attempts to understand, and, of course, attempts to help. None of can deny that there have been people who shun, or even kick us down; the Mentally Ill. But none of us can also deny that there have been those that offered everything from a helping hand, to literally grabbing us by the shoulder-joints and lifting us up off the ground. Which was the greater influence? We are use to one, but as we so use to the other? We will continue, in our own fashion and by our own recourse, whatever that may be, and whatever we may deem it to be. All I can truly say is: Best Wishes, Survive, Live, Thrive. And visit us from time to time! <3
