I Will Never Give Up


I will never give up.  I will never give up.  I will never give up!

The last couple of years, there has been setback after setback.  I keep reminding God that he promises not to ask more than I can handle.  God thinks and knows that I can.  As cliche as it may sound, "If at first you do not succeed, try, try again" rings true for me.

So I picked myself up and brushed myself off and headed to the Mental Health Facility.  Guess who I run into?  Dolly Reynolds.  Dolly Reynolds is a Drag Queen who like me suffers from Bi Polar Disorder.  He/She was in quite a state.  What is the best thing I can do?  Listen.  As she told me his/her story, I felt that I could relate to her pain.  Her pain is her pain.  My pain is my pain.  However, being in pain, I was able to understand, empathize and listen.  Just Listen.

When she was done, I challenged her to learn the words to "Ain't Down Yet" by Debbie Reynolds from The Unsinkable Molly Brown.  Honestly, how can you be a drag queen if you can not do Debbie Reynolds.
