I am not getting paid to put these links in, they are just for your benefit. Depression is hard. I am pretty sure I said that last week but it is true. Depression is something that affects many people differently and can be difficult to deal with. For one person with severe depression, it could be hard to eat, get out of bed, and even live life normally. For someone who has mild depression it could be easier. But even easier is still hard.…

My Relationship With Depression
Depression is hard to live with. When someone has this illness they can feel tired, isolate themselves, and loose enjoyment in the things they once did. For me, I have been living with it since I was nine. I don’t know if I still have it or if it is just winter blues, but when I do feel this way it can mess me up in school, in my social life, in me trying to better myself. The one thing that is huge with depression is the mental battle that comes with it. When you have depression your brain can tell you a bunch of different things that may not…

I am not getting paid to put these links in, they are just for your benefit. April is almost over.

May is also Mental Health Awareness Month in the United States of America, or just America, and I have planned a four wonderful posts about Depression. But before I get into all of that and I go into…

Three Things I Learned From Determination
I love writing stories. It is something that I have always loved to do. When I first started this blog, all I wanted to do was write peoples’ stories. It was something that inspired me to the point where I was determined to keep on going, even when I wasn’t feeling like writing. This month we have been talking about determination and I have been able to write stories of people you probably haven’t even heard of before. From the man who moved a mountain to the woman who spent 10 days in a mental asylum it seems as if people in history are the only ones who are determined.…

The Real Truth About Determination
When I first met Katie we were in the same class. Even though, I haven’t had many face to face interactions with her, I decided that today I would like to talk to her. Ever since we became friends we both have shared with each other things about ourselves that can be difficult. I thought that with our difficulties, she could share with me her own stories about determination. We first caught up on life. While we sat under a blossomed tree on a bench, Katie told me about her own fears and how she is getting over them by doing what she loves. She is going to school to…

How Nellie Bly Changed the World
Anyone who knows me knows that I love Nellie Bly. The thing is that before Istarted school and learned all about journalism, I didn’t know who Nellie Blywas. You probably don’t either so here’s a little bio about her. Her name isn’t actually Nellie Bly. Her name was Elizabeth Cochran and shewas born 1864. When she was just 19, she read an article called “WhatGirls are Good For” and she became enraged. She replied back to the paper with her own version of the story. The editorwas so impressed he asked her to write an article. She wrote the article“The Girl Puzzle” which was about what women go through when…

The Man Who Moved A Mountain
If I asked you who Dashrath Manjhi was, would you know? The one thing I love most about history is that there are so many stories that some don’t get as much attention as other do. When it comes to Dashrath Manjhi, he doesn’t get that much attention. When I first learned about him, I was looking at a comic, but when I started learning more about him I realized that his story is about love, perseverance, and determination. Dashrath was born in India in a small village in a broken family. At a young age he ran away and worked in a coal mine. When he returned to his…

The Best Way to Be an Authentic Leader
I have a ton of weaknesses. The thing is that I don’t want anyone to see those weaknesses so I try to hide them away and make sure that no one sees them. It’s the best way to make people think that your perfect, that you are the type of person that they can trust. The thing about this is that it is stupid. Everyone has weaknesses and no one is perfect, so when it comes to being a leader in any type of way, the best way to be the best leader you can, authenticity and all, is to be genuine and lead with your heart. This is hard…

The Mask of Authenticity
Links in this post are not a part of the affiliate program but are links to more information if you would like to research the topic further. I am not getting paid to put these links in, they are just for your benefit. Authenticity is a paradox. On one hand you might want to be authentic so you start thinking about what authenticity is and how you can use it for yourself. The other hand, by thinking about how to be more authentic, you have already not become authentic. Because authentic is being who you are and not trying to be something you’re not, by trying to become more authentic,…
