Entry#8: Our Backpacks
Hello my fierce warriors, I am back again with some fun blogging. Today I want to talk about what's in your backpack, and I do not mean your actual backpack. I am referring to your emotional backpack where you keep all the bad things that have happened to you locked away, and you carry them around with you everyday of your life. I am firm believer that stress/depression can cause a large scale of mental and physical illnesses. Studies have proven that stress can cause illness. I encourage you to dig into your backpack and try to forgive anyone that has caused you harm, forgiveness is not for the other person, it is for you. I will share some of the stuff in my backpack with you since I am talking about it: My backpack is full of some misfortunate events, but none the less traumatic ones. My father abandoned my brother and I. He was abusive mentally, physically, and verbally towards my mother and I. My mother was a drug addict, her drug of choice was crack. She was very neglectful....
