At this point in time, I have written this post about five times. At first, I wanted to write about focusing on the positive instead of the negative but then realized that not everyone can focus on the positive right away and it might be the wrong thing to say. Then I wanted to talk about enveloping those with depression with love but ended up writing about how lonely it feels to have depression. In the end, I realized that I want this post to radiate positivity and give hope to those who are either dealing with depression or those who are trying to help those with depression. In the…

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.

It Must Be True Love
Who do we fall in love with? Why do we start to love them in the first place? These are just some questions I have about the person we are trying to find. Some people call them soulmates, others kindred spirits, but when it all comes down to it, it is the person we want to spend the rest of our lives with. Something that both of my grandparents have taught me is that the people we are going to spend our lives with can be anyone. My grandmother and grandfather, Joan and Robert, had known each other for two years before they started dating. They were on a double…

What Is Love?
What is love? The first thing to come to your mind may be a popular song that was made in the ’90s, but its a topic that has been debated. Some may think that it is just some form of attraction, attachment, or passion. For most of my life, I didn’t know what love was. I knew that I loved my parents, my sisters, and my friends, but besides that, I couldn’t have told you what love was except defining it as “a feeling”. There are so many movies out there that just made me even more confused. I would see many couples fight, not communicate, or just run away…
