.
In the sunset today, here in my beautiful and majestic city. Every time I see a sunset of this magnitude I am reminded of the story of the Little Prince and I always remember that it looks better with the heart than with the eyes.
When I am sad, or have some conflict, even health problems, every time I watch a sunset, the sunrise comes back and I am filled with a lot of patience, because life if it has a meaning and step by step everything will pass.
Sometimes it is difficult to listen when they tell us patience but in this walk I have learned that it is necessary and although it is desperate we must "have patience".
After suffering a terrible cancer illness a few years ago, I was left with a subsequent diagnosis of post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression. My husband did not agree that I should take medicine to treat my mental health problem back then.
I consider myself a brave and determined woman so I did not hesitate to seek professional help, no matter what they say.
Today after a long road, I feel good, I have been overcoming many things and I know that it is a long process, thank God those who attend me are excellent professionals.
It's part of a healthy self-esteem, after a panic attack I had I started thinking more about myself.
Serenity is what is needed in situations of post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression.
People are never going to put themselves in our shoes, so you can't do what people like, but if you do what makes us happy and not cheerful, I mean to see the difference.
I mean to understand that we are always criticized by people, because they think collectively, in masses, through beliefs, cultures, religions, they do not think from the individual, from the self, so the best thing is to be calm.
If, the decision is to be at peace makes me feel calm, even if people don't think so, then that's the right decision, at the end of the day after watching this beautiful sunset that I share with you from my city Maracaibo, Venezuela, peace and serenity is all we are looking for.
I feel that our society needs a lot of education on the topic of mental health.
