this is who you are.

Posted bycasey coombsPosted indepression

I recorded this late one night after a particularly wonderful day. I’m so glad that I did.

Maybe you’ve heard talk of a new reality show that’s casting, and they’re looking for moms in the social media realm.

The requirements were that we post a vlog about the story we have to tell and that it be under a minute.

Well, I think I got my story across, but the whole minute thing didn’t quite pan out. Sorry about that TV people.

Ah well, it’s not necessarily about the TV show. It’s about me (hello) and it’s about helping anyone I can with my story.

  1. I’m going to make myself a video like this, to remind myself.
    Thank you for helping me not feel so alone, even though we have totally different lives.

  7. Thank you a hundred times over for sharing your story. I found a lot of strength in it after we miscarried our baby recently. I was literally at my darkest, scariest moments and thought of you and the things you’ve shared and they are part of the reason I kept going.

  10. This is wonderful Casey, and I hope most importantly that you never have to watch it… But that if you do, I hope it helps you remember all the incredible things about you and helps pull that real you back to the surface.

  13. I wish my friend’s dad could have seen this. About two weeks ago.

    (It was very powerful and really beautiful and I think it’s a great reminder for people to just hold on.)

  20. Casey, my friend.

    How wise and loving you are to record this message. Thanks for the gift of honesty that lets us know we’re not alone.

    It reminds me of Thich Nat Hanh, a buddist monk who recommends cradling our sorrow in our arms to
    help us understand, accept and move on.

    Love you.

  21. I know we’ve never met in the “real” world, but I just love you so much, Casey. What an incredibly smart, beautiful thing to do–both for yourself and for those of us with whom you chose to share it. I, for one, needed to see this today. Thank you.

  28. Got it.
    Live it.
    Tears flow.
    Life moves.
    Alone in crowds.
    Crowded when alone.
    Chatter in my head.
    You’ll never be good enough.
    God saved the day
    And I have work to do.

    Much love,
    Ms Moon
