Dead Inside

Our mental health is more important than we realize a lot of the time. I've struggled with depression for many years, and there have been some dark times. Luckily I have friends and family who I can use as a support system. Something that I have never fully appreciated is that I have ways to express the thoughts in my head, a way to visualize how I am feeling.  I want to do that more; hopefully it will bring me some clarity in the future. Depression really messes with me at times. I feel numb to the world and that I'm in a darkness I can't escape from.  There are always good days and bad days, and on the bad ones I feel like this. I hope that if anyone reading this feels the same way, that they are able to talk to the people close to them about it. You aren't alone.  - Cody S.

It has forsure inspired me to try and connect with nature more in the future. - Cody S

What coaxed those actions leading up to this point? Storytellers are tasked with answering those questions, and questions are often what drives any good story. We here at Creative Corner found ourselves in a similar conflict. Not with a girl and a gun, mind you, but with our own journey into storytelling. This site was born out of conflict - to want to create but not being able to fully express that creativity to its fullest potential. Though we have inspiration and talent, we find it difficult to engage with creativity in the way we really hope to. We’re sure many other “creatives” in this world feel the same way, and because of that, Creative C
