Downslide. Major downslide.
Constant bad news just keep flooding into my life. Seriously. When I heard that I can't organize Wednesday Cheerleading trainings with my friends because we have no more mats, I felt quite disappointed. The one day which I can be myself is gone, and I feel so freaking lost. Not only that, I feel like I've lost all hope in the people around me, and nothing seems to work out. At some points of time, I just feel so depressed, I don't want to care about anything anymore. People break their promises, people stood me up for stupid reasons, people treat me like a toy only for their amusement, and I feel like just giving it all up. But a good friend of mine used to say,

"Everybody faces depression, despair and regret, but the world still continues revolving, time is still ticking, and every second of your life is wasted away harping on it. Why resort yourself to such mediocrity when you can achieve so much if you know to forgo your pain, and inhale the positivity. Lay down your regrets, laugh off at your depressions, shake off that despair and pick yourself up, because that is when you tell your down-nature that you've had enough of it controlling your life, and that you have finally taken control of your life from that moment onwards. Depression is like a drug - the more you inhale, the more you can't shake it loose, and you find yourself constantly seeking after it even when you don't want it, and soon, you get so used to the feeling, that it becomes a part of your life - sucking every vitality you ever had. Remember this, that even the smallest living-thing on earth has a huge willpower to live, so why not you? It is only those who pick themselves up would they have another chance to make things right, those who just give it up will probably never see their tomorrow and continue wallowing in self-pity. Smile in your despair, and have faith in yourself. Don't be afraid of making mistakes and falling down again, because that is just human nature, instead, just continue smiling and pick yourself up again. That is how you know that you will keep living on, because when you pick yourself up, you are building your character up; to be someone who won't falter easily in the sight of setbacks. So, just keep living on, and believing."

A true inspiration indeed. It helps me think with a clear mind and yea, it helps me to see the more positive side of life. Thanks my dear friend :) Thanks for the care and concern, thanks for the kind words and positive mindset, and most of all, thanks for believing in me that I can succeed no matter what. Thank you.
