Have you ever heard the saying, "Love is patient, love is kind...always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...?" It's in the Bible and I should know because I've heard it at about 1,000,000 weddings. Being Catholic, I've always believed in Guardian Angels and to me, life is like an entity, my Guardian Angel. I feel like at every twist and turn my life has questioned me and led me to the choices I've chosen whether they be right or wrong. Everything about me is a part of my life.
A huge challenge in my life is my OCD. And no, I don't mean the occasional hand washing over nothing, I'm talking full-blown, suicidal, taking over my life, OCD. In the past, I couldn't accept it. But I've grown to understand it's a part of me, and it always will be. And as a part of my life, it teaches me and guides me. I'm creating this blog because I want to be a source of support to other teenagers afflicted with OCD. I also want people to understand it, that it's a viable condition and not just on odd habit someone has, it's debilitating.
If you love your life, your life loves you back. It's like that saying, "Treat others how you want to be treated in return" if you put effort and respect into your life, if you want a healthy, happy lifestyle, it can be yours. You just have to treasure yourself, accept yourself, in order to find treasure for yourself (Keyword: happiness!!). Otherwise, you won't know what you're looking for...
