: In Chapter Seven of You Are Enough, I talk about my experience with spiraling into clinical depression. Talk about your own experiences with depression, anxiety, or any other mental health struggle. If you haven’t been affected personally, share your insights into how you stay mentally healthy. You never know what the final straw is going to be that pushes you from teetering on the edge of depression to full-blown depression.

Maybe you haven’t heard from God in a really long time and you’re starting to wonder if He cares…or if He even exists. It’s okay to be right where you’re at, without trying to frantically search for the purpose that will come from your pain or the message that will come from your mess.

He’ll teach you to drive, to kiss, to LOVE, to open your heart and trust and take chances, paving the way for all the other loves still to come… Time to date other boys you’ll like but won’t love. I like to think he’s sweet and steadfast like The First Love, and passionate and challenging like The One That Could Have Been, and a little wild and rough around the edges like The Bad Boy, with the heart for commitment and building a life together like The One That Got Away. I like to think he will make me forget about anyone I ever loved or thought I loved before he came into my life.
