As you can see from my personal profile, I am most known for submitting mostly poetry ... but lately, I haven’t even taken much interest in doing that either—due to an episode of severe depression that subsequently left me with a major lack of inspiration to write (amongst other things ...) But after a good week or so of isolating myself inside my aptartment and contemplating suicide, I decided to (with Gods help of course) to get up off that couch and attempt to take my life back!
I’ve always been told that God helps those that try to help themselves! And so I did just that … instead of sleeping the days away and simply going through the motions (so to speak) I began to awake early in the mornings, and throw on a pot of coffee, shower and be out the door and socializing with the people in my building and making all sorts of new friends before I knew it!
And although that is pretty much the “norm” for most people, it was a somewhat big step for me! One small step and one day at a time is what I’m living by, and it seems to be working for me! I am currently running for President of my building as well as participating in community/social events and have been doing some volunteer work for very good causes such as assisting in programs that contribute to the needy and to children with life threatening diseases.
It feels so good to know that I can actually make a difference in someone else’s life, instead of laying around and feeling sorry for myself! I guess I just want people out there to know that YOU CAN make a difference in this world, even when you start to think that you have nothing to offer and before you know it, your feeling better about yourself, as well! Even if you can make just one person smile a day—then you’ve accomplished something!
