I had a profound realization today as I dug into my first Princess Diaries book (Princess Mia). I was reading a scene in which Princess Mia was admitting to a psychologist that she was indeed struggling with depression. I started to cry. I realized then and there that I needed to admit my problems with depression to myself as well, as the character had so bravely done herself.
I have been struggling with depression for quite some time now and I am finally ready to seek treatment for good. It was a brave step for me to take and I am really proud of myself. I could not have accomplished this without my best friends and current fiance. I really needed this inspiration--both for dealing with depression and starting my writing career.
I don't know if any of you take your dreams seriously and figuratively, but I do. It was indeed a dream that led me to buying three Princess Diaries books today. I had a dream that I was looking at a cover of one of Meg Cabot's books and was suddenly inspired to be an author. I was drawn to several titles presented in front of me in my dream. I had another dream that her writing was very similar to the events in my own life. It has since proven true and has given me the courage to pursue my dreams of becoming a writer. I am not saying this will be the easiest road to take, but it will definitely be the most worthwhile and exciting. ^_^
Miraculous Realization
