All around us these days is chaos. Chaos in our society and our world. Chaos within families. Chaos in our minds. The last one is something I deal with every day due to living (not suffering) with multiple severe mental illnesses, including PTSD, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. To say that my life is chaotic mostly is an understatement.
But because I live with those disorders, I have found a whole new world within this galaxy. I do not think like most people. When there is a change in my surroundings, I think the FBI is after me, I think I am in deep trouble or people can listen to my thoughts due to the CIA implanting a neural device in my head.
Those thoughts do not stop me from achieving my dreams. Yes, I deal with them almost every day, but I have learned to quiet those thoughts down, even sometimes independently.
Recently, I have taken on more responsibilities around me. Thanks to leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, I have been inspired to be the change that I want to make in this world.
I am involved with many projects, from ending homelessness through an organization that I am starting to helping people become literate through the use of video chatting.
While there are very difficult and challenging things that occur in our lives, we should keep moving forward and make a positive impact in lives around us as well as people we may never meet.
I do not know about you, but like Dr. MLK, Jr, I want violence and discrimination to go away and for this world to change for the better.
I dream of a more peaceful world.
