How I Choose to be a Person

Hello  

My Name is Scott Wajda and I am a Straight, White, Christian Male   

I Choose to Participate in Life Today  

By Accepting My Diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder. 

While Accepting the Realization that I Require Medication to Treat My Mental Illness. 

This Particular Christian Believes in Acceptance of All People Regardless of Who They are or Where They are in Life.

This is a Poem that I wrote in a Poetry Group while attending the Behavioral Health Agency where I Receive My Services. 

The Topic for Today’s Group was How to Be a Person?  

I Have Survived. 

I know who loves me,  

                                                       I Have Accepted that LOVE, 

I choose to continue to follow that path that will bring me  

– Scott Wajda –

to a closer relationship with my Savior Jesus Christ. 

I will Not Falter or Feel Shame for my Belief or the Expression of my Belief in any or All Situations in which I find myself a Participant

I Love Myself 

I choose to Accept Gods Love Every day. 

I choose to Participate in what I know and what has worked for me. 

I will not be Intimidated, Bullied or Extorted into believing what others believe  

or are Intimidated by my beliefs

or lack of their belief

or Their Need to Justify Their Behavior. 

 My Attitude Determines: 

My

 - Anger,                                                                                                                                                    - Disappointment                                                                                                                                       and                                                                                                                                                        - Despair  

Yours in Christ
