Hi =]
My name is Alek Miller. I am re writing this page as my blog is seeming to evolve. It started out as a sort of self-help magazine type blog, but now I am letting it be more casual and personal. I hope that’s ok. Also, my spirituality is becoming a bigger part of my life so that is seeping in as well.
I believe that people don’t read biographies, so I will make this short. I was born in Tacoma, Washington on the spring solstice of 1990. I have lived everywhere but am currently settled somewhere in Idaho. I have been writing since my Grandmother died ( I can’t remember how old I was but I remember my journal. Probably around 6 or 7.) I graduated from Caldwell High School in 2008, and I currently don’t have any immediate plans for college.
I live with Depression and Agoraphobia. It’s hard, really hard, and has forced me to live my life simply from moment to moment (a lifestyle I am still getting used to, but am content with.)
I am happy. I have everything I need, my health, my love, my faith, my family…Anything else is just gravy. Things can always, always be worse.
Hi Alek. Your blog site in now in my favorites. Good luck. This looks like it should be great therapy for you. Know that you are loved…..
Alek…
keep the faith! Writing is and will be your way of creating love and abundance in all areas of you life! By the way thanks for adding my site to your blogroll…I’ll return the favor!
I was searching for a photo of “alone” and the photo of a person standing on the end of a pier came up along with your blog.
Just a few thoughts: Congrats on the move. Depression can be lived with, I’ve had it as a companion for more then 20 years. As for the Agoraphobia I live in NYC,NY area and this would be a little dificult place to live at. Writing I find, is the most helpful with depression.
Hi Alek,
As the post above i was too looking for a picture of “alone” and stumbled on your blog. I must say for a 18 yr old you write really well and express yourself to the core. Though i am surrounded by people every day in office at the place i stay, i still feel alone but then the idea is to keep yourself busy. Get connected to people with whom you are comfortable, writing is a great way, go out learn new things indulge in different activities. Trust me it works. Out here in this strange town where i live 3000 kms away from home even i wonder what I am doing here, but then i know i had asked for it. I was the one who had taken the decision to come down here and be alone.
