[hometext] => Whilst depressed I was plagued by the same questions, but eventually realised that life lay not in answering them but ignoring them.
[bodytext] => Questions How black is darkness? How solitary is loneliness? Is there a measure of mental anguish? Can the depths of self-esteem be measured? Why self-loathing is considered a negative disability? Why are people who cannot socialise easily considered strange? Are people who self-harm more dangerous than “normal” people? Why do people consider it strange if you want to be alone in a quiet room alone and just think? If you have not made peace with a relative deceased more than ten years previously is it a sign that you are inherently a failure to them? More importantly is it a sign that you consider yourself to be a failure to yourself? Do you base your future on things past as history has tried to tell us? Perhaps each day should be a new beginning, an opportunity. The past can reflect the future but it is down to us to create that change. Let all of us, insecure, frightened, solitary, non-confident beings emerge. Out of the darkness into the light may we find our kindred spirits and join together as a united force. The previous proposal could be a reality provided we had the strength to take one day at a time. Together the world would not seem the jungle and hell it has become. I know, today, this will be my mantra, my goal, my path to a better life. How much time will it take for my mission to succeed? How can you measure determination? How strong is resolve? Will I succeed?
