jacvanek | Thank you so much for posting on here Jac… like actually writing about personal issues, anxiety, and not being exactly “normal”. I know we go through different things but it’s so nice to know we could relate in a lot of ways that I can’t do with most people. Reading your responses give me the “OMG EXACTLY” feeling, and I love it. Makes me think I’m not alone in this. Anyways, what I was trying to get through is just, thank you. I appreciate it, and YOU, so much.

I love reading things like this. This is why I do what I do…the fact that you feel you can relate to me means the world. There is something about our society that wants to suppress the fact that not everyone is perfect and happy all of the time. Everyone is a little unstable at times, and I don’t think it’s a bad thing. If we ignore these internal problems, they will only build up and get worse. I think the only way to better yourself and grow is by bringing them to the surface and attacking them head on.

I am lucky to be in a position of influence to some people, so I want to make it known that I’m not perfect, and I am not afraid to admit that. I have lots of problems, just like everyone else. And that’s okay. It’s being human. So I hope I inspire at least one person to acknowledge their own problems and really put some effort into tackling them.
