3 am, The clock was stuck on the wall.

3 am, The clock was stuck on the wall.

I've always been an over thinker, since I can remember. It's a constant battle in my head, my dark side verses the light.

I've suffered from depression, anxiety since I was 15. Racing thoughts and a racing heart beat. I always had the ability to hide it, I was able to mask it, I was able to use my anxiety to channel aggression. I could use it to be fearless, act like I didn't care.

I hate confrontation, yet I always came across as someone who loved it, thrived on it. I could win any battle with my voice and pure aggression. I could always put the fear of god into someone on a building site. I never took any bullshit, after all I knew, I'm Luke Williams, who are you?

I remember being told once, I was the most the difficult person they ever had to deal with, of course that made me smile. Well that's because, I don't think your doing whats in my best interest. On reflection, there was many times I probably should of conveyed that. Yet if I knew that, well, I wouldn't of learnt anything.

I was always able to hide how depressed I really was, I remember being told at my 18th Birthday, "What do you get a boy, who has everything" I didn't understand, I don't have everything, I'm just the son.

I've never been big on materialistic things. I know they don't make me happy, what I love is experiences. My most favourite thing is the experience of giving. I remember getting my new car, of course I got first go. I did pick it up, but as soon as I got it home and they boys came over, it was pass the parcel.

Why, cause I wanted everyone to have the same feeling I got from driving it. I'm on first name basis at the local Jax Tyres. 'Tyres, brakes? Mr Williams!' I love back roads, rural areas and commercial areas late at night when no one is around. I can get it to spin like a ballet dancer on the spot, while all 19 Speakers of Mark Levinson are pumping. I'll tell you, that took some practice, 8 Speed Sports Automatic, no clutch to drop. Guess I'm going back to the tyre shop, these shoes are done.

So what I have learnt is, that I'm mentally stonger than I thought. In fact, I'm unbreakable, I tried and I failed, or I beat it, you can look at it either way. I feel great right now, this may not always be the case, but I know to be pschologically flexible, listen to my instincts, be kind to myself. Share my struggles with others, so they know they are not alone. So forget the past, it has no place in the present. Fall in LOVE with yourself, every morning! You are the only person that has to live with you 24/7.
