I have read alot of blogs here lately about people who feel so down and just don't know the way out. I know that there is one. My life has not been peaches and cream, and it still isn't for that matter.
I have not had the easiest go of it, things have happenned, traumatic, good, not so good, difficult, you name it, but I have never let it completely consume me.
I know that depression is a factor, been there take meds for that. I don't know, I love the friends that I have made here, I do, but sometimes I get so frustrated not being able to help, I want desperately to make a difference, but I just feel that I don't, that's why sometimes I just have to take a break.
I don't know what it is, I just feel like I should make an impact on this world in my time here, no matter how little, you know the ripples and waves thing....
To all of my friends here that are down, please, look for the light, because there is one, if nothing else at least you are alive, at least you can see, hear, taste and touch. You have people who read your thoughts and value them, and that is more than some have in this world. At least you have a place to live and food to eat, for many don't have even that. I don't know that there is much more important than those things...love is good, but if you love yourself that is all that really matters.
Being healthy is good, but taking it to extremes and trying to conform to magazine covers is out of hand, everyone is beautiful...in one way or another, looks are not everything, and I just think society has taken that just a little too far.
Having a framily is great, but it does not have to be the Norman Rockwell painting....Family comes in many forms, parents, children, friends, animals....what you have is what you have, you should be greatful that you were given that...
When I lay down at night I say a simple prayer, for my family to be safe, I thank the Lord for the blessings in my life...for my children, my husband, my family and my friends, for the roof over my head and the food on my table, and for the love that surrounds my life. Those are my blessings. Screw that I can't pay my bills, screw that my daughter's father is an ass...I have everything I need.
Look for the silver lining people, it's there. Keep your chin up and try to be positive, looking at the negative is no way to live, and it is wasting the precious gift that you have been given....LIFE. |

Awesome post... I would like to add, that I have seen the same thing on here and I have also done the same, I have posted doom and gloom stuff as well. But I remember something my grandfather told me once when I called him and asked for advice after telling him how bad off my life was. He said, "Son I can tell you how to fix it, but it will do you no good at all. You are so busy looking at the things behind, you that are holding you back, and not looking ahead. So even if I put out my hand to help you, you might not notice it. Not untill you start looking forward. Only then can you see the light at the end of the tunnel." It did not help much at the time lol I just rolled my eyes, but reflecting back it makes alot of sence.
