October Is a Month for Awareness

Hi.

Every month is an "awareness month"...multiple "awarenesses". I am not complaining. There are several topics that need more awareness brought to them.

There are a couple of topics that are near and dear to my heart are: National Bullying Awareness Month, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

These are all topics that I have experience in, unfortunately.

I started my blog a little too late to discuss National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month back in September. But, I'll have time to during this month, I'm sure (there is a whole twenty seven days left).

I want to apologize in advance if it ever feels as though I am whining or complaining when it comes to these (or any) topics. My main goal is to give factual accounts of what it's like to "live" through these sort of events, feelings, emotions, etc.

The facts and events are objective. The feelings and emotional outcomes of said facts and events are, obviously, subjective. But, I will do my best to explain them as realistically, as understandably, as vividly, and in the most relatable way I possibly can. 

People who live through atrocious acts sometimes have difficulty finding the words to explain everything they have endured. 

I have been gifted a wonderful way with words (most of the time). I have been cursed to have lived through crappy situations.

I may as well try to unify the two.
