Depression Can Happen

"Into each life some rain must fall" ~ Aetherian.  I heard this in a song and it inspired me to write this post.  Have you ever looked at your life and have felt that it is just falling apart and nothing seems to be going in the right direction for you?  Have you felt that you have been stuck out in the rain for quite some time now?  Often times I feel myself feel like I am in the rain and that the sun will never break through.  There will be things in life that we cannot control and those events or things will bring the rains.  Yes those times will and can lead us down some trying times, however those trying times are there to help you prepare for a brighter future.  We often times cannot see past what we are currently going through in life, we lose sight of who we are and who we want to become.  We have to look at the rain as a platform to success.  Let's think about that for a second, you may be wondering if I am crazy for saying that, but what comes from the rain?  Y

Many times I let events of my past get in the way of my future.  I harbor those failings and instead of growing from them, I cower.  I often times go into a situation already feeling defeated because that is what I think I am used to doing.  I tend to already defeat myself before I even enter the race.  How many times have you done this?  Is it often?  Why do we let the ghosts of our past influence us today?  Why do we take solace in them and think that they can change our future??  They tend to hold us back more than help grow us into happier individuals.  Don't always fall back on the ghosts thinking they will keep you up, because in the end they are nothing and you will continue to fall down.  You can look back on your past and either grow from it or continue down the same road you are now.  I don't know about you but for me, I would like to deviate from that road and start a new road because the past hurts that I carry often times stand in the way of me becoming who I want

Have you ever felt like you have put yourself in this box that you can't get out of?  When you were a kid did you ever sit in a box?  Did you ever close the box or was that just me...  Might just have been me, maybe that is where some of this started..  Anyway, when you close the top of the box, your world is encased in darkness.  You obviously cannot see anything past your current situation.  All that you know at that current time is the darkness in which you sit.  However the good news is that you can always break free from that box you have put yourself in.  Often times I find myself in a box in which I have created.  I tend to just put myself in the dark because I feel like that is where I belong, I feel that I am not good enough for people.  For example when I go to the gym sometimes I feel as if people look at me like I am the weirdo.  I have to admit this is certainly a flaw of mine but it is my cross to carry none the less (hey we all take up a cross at some point).
