Thoughts that crossed my mind

The last time I was under depression was probably the end of junior year. I mean, this always happens every year, towards the end of the school year. I feel empty and that nothing can satisfy me. I held on to my faith of course but it wasn't genuine or sincere enough. Looking back at that time, I was being selfish and only wanting to fulfill my desire. it was all about me without even having to say it because i really didn't know it at the time. I was expecting something in return everytime i did a good deed or whatever it is. my heart wasn't big as it is now. I am His servant... all i can do is give as much as i can, because really it's all about Him. Generally the answer to everything is LOVE. how can you get out of depression or a situation that seems like hope is gone? LOVE. it really all comes down to it because GOD = LOVE. He is love. I know I'm young and haven't experienced the toughest of toughest times because I'm so sheltered, but I know what it's like to not feel loved... I know what it's like to feel cold... that feeling. although i haven't been there, I can see it through another person's eyes. I can put myself in their shoes. because honestly, no one has it worse than anyone else. each and every one of us has a different journey... we choose different paths... so what right do we have to compare one another? LIFE IS HARD. don't think that the rich and fortunate have it best because they might be suffering as much as you. you won't know that until you've actually experience it. that's where we shouldn't judge others.

As a Christian... as a believer... as a lover of Christ... all i can do is just be a friend. everyone needs a shoulder to cry on... there's always someone who needs to vent once in awhile... i know because I'm that person. There are people out there who lost the sight of friendship. whether if it's acquaintances or something stronger... it's still friendship... it's love.

When he is down you should help your brother
When it comes around you should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
(Ask what you can)
Do when you see he needs help from another
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
That's what love's all about
