Little did you know you would have good days and then you would have extremely bad days. That's alright thou, you as a person have nothing to be sorry about. I know your probably sitting in your bed thinking about all the things you did wrong and I know your wishing for an escape from your thoughts. I bet you thought all those doctors appointments were going to be easy and that it will all go away on it's own. The truth is nothing about depression is easy!

Here is what no one is telling you. 1) You will always have at least one person who is going to support you and hold your head up high. 2) When you look out the window only to see that it is cloudy and gloomy out, just know the sun is still shining through its own battle. 3) Just because you hit a rough patch does not mean it will always be this way. 4) Last but not least taking antidepressants does not make you weak or any less of a person.

The light inside your head will eventually turn back on and there are going to be days where it seems extremely faded. When the light seems to be fading look to your left and then to your right, someone will always be on your side. whoever that person may be make sure you tell them everyday that you appreciate them. They want you to be as happy as you can be and on the days you aren't so happy they will do anything to hear you laugh. No matter how you are effected with MDD just know that the light always comes back on.

From this point forward make yourself as happy as you can be. Dance in the rain, jump in puddles, watch as many Disney movies as you want, scream the lyrics to your favorite songs. The moment you find things you love doing is when everything seems clear.

Sincerely the girl who thinks you deserve to be happy

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
