And so it begins....
My first official Blog and I'm trying to figure out where it goes from here. First topic of discussion is definitely going to be life, and the loopholes it throws at you!
Far from EMO, but I know what it's like to be depressed. Growing up a difficult childhood, if you knew me, you wouldn't understand me. Although my childhood isn't to blame, nor are my parents or my surroundings, but the choices in life I have decided to make.
Indeed it is true that I'm young, and so many say, "You have your whole life ahead of you," but visualizing that life and living this one is a world apart. When I speak of my depression, it's not necessarily a bad thing, and often times I do find the good in it, but it does still exist. My actions may not show it, but you can bet all the money in the world that my heart feels it.
Not really one to just give in, I can't deny sometimes I do fold to the troubled hand that I've been dealt. Nonetheless I can't allow myself to be defeated by such a fate. Granted it's tough being alone in this world, but when do we decide enough is enough? I don't know about you, but I do know that I'm tired of always catching the next stick thrown my way. That's why I've created the goal system!
First off, no it's not some system I'm trying to sell and no it's not some advertisement I've viewed on some infomercial, instead it's something I've been hearing all my life, but never put it to use!
We've all heard it through school, from our family and our friends, but how many of us have actually tried it? I know I haven't, until recently. Finally, I'm trying to do something that is beneficial to myself, as well as those around me. I'm taking small steps to further myself, and I challenge you to do the same.
You don't have to start big, instead I recommend that you start off small. For instance, start with daily goals.
•Today I will take out my trash, and finish cleaning out that old shed I've been putting off for weeks!
•This is the day I quit putting off my weight loss plan!
Then gradually graduate to the bigger goals you have.
•Today I will finally sign-up for that class I've always wanted to take! (Or enroll in college, who doesn't need that extra boost of education?)
•Finally I'll quit being afraid to go after my dream job! (Why be tied down to a job you dread going to everyday? Yes! we all have those days...)
Baby steps to Bigfoot, or vice versa, don't be afraid to go after what you truly desire! Don't let small things depress you like they have for me for so long. So I challenge you, take life by the balls, and live it up! Do what you want, don't let others, life, and depression bring you down!
