Neriah always thought she was in the darkness alone. Battling for her life in a world that doesn't care. Little did she know she was never alone.
Her guardian angel, Anthony, was always with her. With Anthony's help, she goes from broken to fully a...

How do I begin to try and explain to you that you are not alone? That everywhere you journey there is always someone standing by. Even in the midst of the worst possible event that could happen to you. You are always covered and you are always favored. It may seem hard to believe and trust me it was hard for me too but I am finally understanding that I am not alone.
For a vast majority of my life, I felt alone. I felt that no one was watching over me. That my life was just bound by the media and that my looks were the only things that would get me ahead in life. I wasn't taught that, but inadvertently, I was. Having to live in a world where social media shapes the idea of what a woman is supposed to look like, how she should act and dress can cause lasting effects on your self-esteem as you grow through life. That's what happened to many anyway, maybe you were lucky.
What I'm trying to say is if you truly give it some thought, no one likes who they are at some point in their life, mostly because society is telling them they should be a certain way.
You could be the most active and healthy person and still have an issue with your nose. Or a confident and curvaceous woman and still think to yourself that you have to show a little extra skin to get ahead in life.
You could be in an amazing healthy relationship, receiving all the love and affection that you have always desired and for one or for both of you, it still isn't enough. You can have the most beautiful and well-mannered children and still be fishing for a partner, when you've done such an amazing job raising them already. You can be surrounded with friends and family and still feel alone in the world.
The message is clear here: Even when surrounded by love and support one can still feel alone.
It's a fact that the simple thought of loneliness is maddening to most people. People go into a fit of rage and lash out at others just because of their happiness. They sometimes feel it is being thrown in their faces and that it's something that they could never achieve.
Other people suffer with depression and the inkling of suicide begins to seep into their thoughts, as they contemplate that they are in this world by themselves.
Loneliness is the feeling that no one understands your heart. That no one can comprehend where you're coming from and everyone is interpreting your way of expression incorrectly. This feeling is sadly felt through this world today.
But what if I told you that you were NEVER alone? What if I told you that ALL your nightly fears and cries were being heard? That they were being felt with the utmost anguish that you yourself feel? That that feeling of longing could be fulfilled? What if I told you that you always had someone beside you helping you along your path? What if I told you that your feeling of loneliness is invalid? Would you believe it? Or would you dismiss it as hearsay?
The following is a story of my life from my rocky beginning to my blessed ending. Although depression tried to seep in at every corner of my life, God had other plans for me. I hope you pay attention and learn from my experiences.
