Memior Ideas

1. Panic: Living with Anxiety
• The first time I ever had an anxiety attack. I was in the Church choir when I was a child and we had a performance during mass one morning, my first ever, and before the song could even start I burst into tears. From then on any time I had to get in front of a crowd I had severe panic attacks. I didn't learn to start to control them until I was in my late teens. Most of my family never believed they existed and it was a struggle to get them under any sort of control. 
• Cathartic Statement: I learned to know my own mind and trust my own judgement. When something feels wrong, something is wrong. I also learned how not let my brain get the best of me.
2. Dogs are a Girl's Bestfriend
• The first time my family rescued an animal. He was a large Rottweiler with aggression issues and had a very difficult time adjusting to his new life. He was already a year old and never wanted to listen but over the 4 years we had him he became my world. We did everything together. Even though I saw this sweet side to him everyone else was terrified of him. He was misunderstood, hated by many of my friends, hated by most of our neighborhood. But he will always be my puppy. 
• Cathartic Statement: Things are not always what they seem. What we see on the outside is not what is always on the inside, never let someone else's views cloud your own judgement. 
3.  She is My Person
• The moment my bestfriend had our first fight, but made it out stronger than ever. She called me her bestfriend for the first time, something that had never bothered me because I realize it is okay to have a bestfriend that does not consider your theirs. I have never been so close to a human, never trusted anyone more. I am extremely grateful she is in my life and to be able to have the connection that we have.
• Cathartic Statement: Its okay to be vulnerable and let someone into your life.
