For years I've maintained a perfect facade. I was an actress skilled enough that I should have won a few academy awards. This past winter I was deeply inspired by "Shadows in the Sun" a memoir on depression. The author's truth made me realize I needed to start by being honest, with myself and with others. This is the first step and I am blogging it along the way in hopes to help anyone who may be struggling with something similar, or at least give hope that you're not alone.

The Spark
Even in my deepest pit of depression, I always had 'the spark' to keep me going. In fact, for most of my life, I was very professionally confident and carried that spark strongly. people would notice and say I was meant to do great things, and I felt that way too. I'm sure sure what happened, but I've somehow let that spark slowly die inside. Perhaps it was the 'real world' getting to me, or my lack of confidence. I just don't know. Whatever happened, I really miss my spark. Hell, people even thought I was cocky (before they talked to me) because I walked with such confidence and purpose. I miss that. I yearn for my spark again.
