Time to say goodbye

      When I created this blog in 2012, it was meant to be an emotional outlet. I went through depression and anxiety. I was unstable. I have since used it for almost three years and throughout this time I had not yet healed. For three years it was my crutch to lean on and I filled it with all of my emotions. For three years I bared my soul to this sanctuary. For three years I have suffered loneliness, depression, and extremely low self-esteem. At first when people started noticing, I masked it. I have since been masking a great deal of turmoil inside me. I woke up in the morning, put on my makeup, and hoped that none of my pain was showing. I kept telling myself to be strong and just deal with it.
      Now I know that I'm not strong, but that's okay. I have faced what I'm going through and it is the first step to my recovery. As I look back through all my entries, I remember the stories behind each and every one and how much pain there was. This blog in itself tells a story; a story about me.
      Recently, I began talking to people. They made things easier. I had been going around in silent pain for so long that unloading felt so right. It was like I was waking up from a three year nightmare. I was still shaking from the terror and my limbs too weak to stand on but at least I'm awake.
       And so I think that it's time to say goodbye to this blog. I leave it here for the world to see, as ugly and painful as it is. I hereby dedicate this site to all those who have ever felt trapped, depressed, or lonely. I hope that these entries may allow them to know that they are not alone and I hope that they can draw from the good, positive ones as well.

Goodbye for the last time,
<3 Liar, Liar, Lizzy
