Depression Can Happen

"Wherever you go, go with all of your heart".  I know that we all struggle from time to time with our battles, and a lot of times giving up may cross your mind.  But I am here to tell you that you matter and that the world is much better with you here.  You are important to more people than you think.  Just because you may not be in a certain point in your life, does not mean that it has lost it's value.  Often times we take time for granted and just assume that we have plenty of it left.  However we never know when our time is up, so why not make the most of what you have left?  I know that it is a struggle and I know that we all face giants that others may not, but PLEASE know that whatever battle you are facing, you have the power to overcome it.  Face it one step at a time and keep shining on.  You have the qualities that this world needs and you have the spark that someone in this world needs.  You have the words that someone needs to hear, you have the heart that s

Have you ever watched a show that has shown a ship wreck?  I think that the most common ship wreck that is shown would be the titanic.  At the time, the titanic was the biggest ship to set sail and no one thought that it would sink. But it did just that, it sunk.  The structural integrity of the ship was compromised and as a result the largest ship (at the time) met a fateful exit.  Now we have the ability to go down and search the ruins of all of the ship wrecks that have occurred over the many many years.  Everyone seems to think that the larger the better, but as we have seen a lot of times it is the small and courageous that persevere.  However when you look at a harbor, it is the small tug boats bringing in the bigger ships because those tug boats can navigate through the harbor better than the larger ships.  I give you this boring lessons on ships to prove a point.  Yes a lot of times we feel that our tiny mentality cannot amount to anything, but in the end you can overcome anyt
