Travels

I want so much to put my travels into words. Get me time and I'll collect my thoughts.

So Many People Coming Forward

There so many bloggers out there these days. I feel most of them want to get their thoughts, feelings, personal experiences and..confessions which they want to soothe their souls.

They and I find it cathardic to purge, to cleanse to in essence, confess.

What I am finding lately are those who feel so much need to get their "demons" out. On the whole, most "demons" have to deal with depression, post traumatic stress and perhaps ocd. These bear stigmas which should be squelched in society in this day and age. I don't myself know how to eradicate this stigma. It takes, unfortunately people in the public eye to inspire awareness. There have been many celebs who have come forward and have disclosed their personal "hell". I do admire them, but let's be honest and recognize that the celebs are considered cool, and/or eccentric and are "excused". The every day people are considered "not normal".

How do we fight this? How do we erase the stigma?
