#DepressionIsMyHostage Depression is a hell of a thing. I used to feel that it was something for the weak that they used as a crutch, that was until I went through it a year after my dad passed away. Youre emotionless, you feel nothing, it was draining to make it through your day. Even with every blessing I had going for me at that time in my life. I had a brand new job, money saved, a girlfriend, and friends galore, but it wasnt enough to make me happy, or feel anything for that matter. If youre going through something like that, I know your pain. Ive been there. Fortunately, I was lucky. It didnt consume me for years, but only a few months. I made bad decisions and was not a great human being, or at least living to the potential that I know I had in me. But, I remember vividly hearing a song from the great philosopher Eminem in a song he wrote after his best friend died called Youre Never Over where in the song there was a line that said God, just help me out while I fight through this grieving process. Trying to process this loss is making me nauseous. But this depression ain’t taking me hostage. I’ve been patiently watching... pacing these hallways. You had faith in me always. I began to realize something, that this, too, shall pass. What does this mean? This means it wont last forever. Does it mean it cant happen again? No. But, if things are going good, embrace it, and whenever times are tough, you weather the storm because the sun will shine again. So, if youre not experiencing something like this, I dare you to be that sunshine for someone else. And for someone going through something like this, I dare you to embrace this day and take in the sunshine that your life shines on you. Get up. Go out. Get at it. ITS MOUNTAIN MOVING MONDAY!!! Make depression YOUR hostage.
