Lately I’ve just been so, stressed… I don’t get stressed like this. Stuff’s going on I guess that normally doesn’t, that could be contributing. Fights. Graduation. School. It’s been nuts.. I’ve literally been throwing up out of stress. It just hits me in the gut and goes up from there. So awful.
Prayers are always appreciated. <3

Depression & brain activity. I just read this story of a girl who had a CT scan a few years apart, before and after she was diagnosed with MDD (major depressive disorder). It actually shocked me the amount of brain activity that had been lost. This girl when from an artist to a girl who sleeps all day. From a scholar to barely passing. All because of a mental illness. Depression is real, and devastating. Crazy what can happen if help isn’t found.
So, I’ve been told since I can remember that you should NEVER base relationships off of tingly happy feelings, because at times, they won’t be there.
I am really learning this lately, the hardship and also the value.
My boyfriend was really confused, because this isn’t something we go through often. And began to question our relationship, which then made me question it.. Will this empty feeling go away? Will I have that happy tingly feeling again? Or is this just how it is now?
The truth is, butterflies are AWESOME. When you get that feeling in your stomach that tickles and stirs all the way up into your smile.. it’s something else. But that is an emotion, not a relationship. Love is so much more than an emotion.. take a look at the bible…
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others. Love does not count up wrongs that have been done. Love takes no pleasure in evil but rejoices over the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always endures. Love never ends. - 1 Corinthians 13
Key part I’m focusing on right now: “Love always endures”. Always. If you really love someone, you’re going to stand by them no matter what circumstance.. because all you know is that you want to be with them. You’re not using them only for the happy feeling, but for a lifelong, trusting, humble relationship.
I love my boyfriend. LOVE him. I know I want to be there beside him through every part of life, no matter how I feel. Yes, he bugs me sometimes! He can be absurd, cocky, stressful and stubborn. But who doesn’t have their quirks? And I chose to look past them and see the big mushy sweetheart inside that will always be there for me no matter what.
Even when the butterflies are taking a nap. <3
