The best thing I have gained from being a member of MotivatedTruths is 3 of the greatest friends who really know me and support me. Walking this journey is not the easiest. Having people around you who really know your challenges and can help motivate you to leap over them and to cry with you when you get beaten by them really does make a difference!

Joining MT has given me the chance to get to know three of the most loving, supportive, affectionate, playful friends I have EVER had! I have a really tough time with depression, knowing that I have friends just a phone call, text or email away makes my life a lot easier to bear. I know that if I have a bad day, I can count on them to cheer me up, give me advice or snap me back to reality. Any time, any day, any situation, they are here for me.
