i woke up today, and thought of all the things ive gained throu all of these years....many times in my life i have been given the down hand, but now i know it was for a good reason....it made me who i today...with the beatings in the past...and the emotional abuse long gone...im more secure with who i am...i could not ask for more now in my life...i always hear of these people taking so many things for granted...even life itself...many people being diagnosed with depression and bipolar...i dont think i agree...you cant lable someone because they have problems and can not find a way to help themselves...you talk to them, and cause a differnt mind set for them...how do i know this might you ask? lets explain..an old friend of mine went through all of this...counselors every week for *depression* and medicine for *depression*....i couldnt belive some of the things the *therapists* were lying to my deer friend about...so i chose to test this theory of mine, and create a world of optomism in his life...i think it helped...considering they lowered his med dosage to almost none..and he didnt need his couselor anymore...all he needed was a goodfriend to be there for him...and to help him with problems...so why does everyone just ignore all these *depressed* peoples pleeds for help? and yes they are ignored...by sending them to the *doctor* to get some *medicine*...the best medicine is laughter and a good friend to share that laughter with...well thats what i think..and i have all the proof i need...so might you ask yourself...what do you honestly think about this? Its quite a stumper isnt it...can u think of a depressing time in your life? were you depressed and get med...or did u go to a friend for help..and realize everything was easier than u had actualy thought?...all i know if life is not somethingto take for granted..it is a gift to live and wake each morning...yea people may have their angry and hurt poetry and feelings..and there is nothing wrongwith that...i actualy care to read those things...so i can maybe try to help...for i know i have written my fare share of depressing poetry...so think one moretime..will u take anything for granted again, knowing all of the other blessing you have been given...what a thought...
