Depression Is Conquerable

Depression, actual depression, not just "being sad" is tough
It can consume a person and lead to their death in some cases

And it isn't really talked about all that often

but why? a lot of us have had that really dark time in our lives
this is a some what common thing here!

What is hard though is when you can't get out of it
When you really have lost all hope
Lost friends, lost family, lost everything that ever meant anything to you

People that go through that need help

I have had my own problems with depression for maybe 5 years?
It was such a dark time I can't remember time, a month could feel like years and time was just all a mess
Everything was a mess!

It is the worst place to be in
A kind of prisoner in your own mind
Your negative or numbed out thoughts control you
And they can get this unrelenting hold on your spirit
Like you are not you anymore
Like you died and were no longer there

So awful!

No one should stay stuck in that

The amazing news though is that it can be conquered
And the new outlook on life you will have after will be so much more valuable than people who have not experienced this profound hurdle

The first few steps have to be reaching out to someone, anyone, even a stranger, maybe even me!

You are worth the effort it takes to cure the depression

And it is not as hard as it may seem, I promise

Depression is not this impossible thing to overcome
Don't look at it that way, Look at it in a temporary way like "this is terrible, but it will pass"

Be your own mirror
Look at how you think
Look at how you speak to others
Look at your life

Recognize that, that life is not good for you and that it must change now

You don't have to be "diagnosed" to start trying to help yourself out
But as some advice, when you can not cure yourself, look to outside help like a doctor
Sometimes it's all just your darn hormones acting up in a weird way
But when it's all your thoughts, YOU have the power to change that and get better

Everyone deserves a happy life, everyone!
So start making the steps you need to take and just do it

I've done it and you can too!

A kiss for you!

A Wonderful Thought......

A wonderful thought just popped into my head.....

When striving for your biggest most amazing fantastic dreams that would make you the happiest person alive,

You don't need to know how you will get there

That's the beauty of the universe, it figures out the "how"

You just need to get going

Start going down that road to your goals and all these opportunities will appear

Let's say you got in your car and went on a random road trip to go somewhere amazing
But you didn't know exactly how to get there....
You would check for road signs along the way not try and predict where to turn on your own (we aren't all psychic!)
That's half the fun of life, not knowing!

Quit trying to predict the signs and just get going!!!

A kiss for you!! Email me! Don't be shy! kissynicole2@live.com

Love you always,

Parents

Parents can become the number one hindrance when trying to follow your dreams

They should encourage you but sometimes we aren't so lucky

Our parents can be a big obstacle with all their negativity and close mindedness
They can say things like "You can't do that" or "All you'll ever be is..."

That isn't very nice to hear is it?

It can be very difficult to follow your dreams when all you hear is no no no
You can have all the determination but when your constantly hearing no from someone important in your life, that can really put a downer on things

But you know what?

Their opinion doesn't matter when it is something you love

Never listen to anyone that tells you "you can't" because in all reality they can't and they are trying to project that onto you
Only truly happy people encourage others to be happy too
So if you are around unhappy people, guess what, you will be too

Let them be unhappy, let them do what they want, let them say whatever they want

But you will not be the audience anymore

Let you be your biggest cheerleader and you can make your dreams come true

A kiss for you!

Love,
KissyNicole

Help Someone

Why do people love to hate on one another and make each other become isolated?

It doesn't get anyone anywhere

It just makes someone else's life suck a little more

But come on we are all people, going through the same shit

We have the potential to change someone's life
Start lending a hand to someone who needs it
Show someone you care
Show them they aren't alone
Become a shoulder to cry on

That can mean so much to someone who needs it...

I'm here to cry to, talk to, ask stuff to, whatever

I love you all :)

A kiss for you!

Art

Art is such a great thing!

It can let people connect without even speaking a word
It can create a feeling rather than just a thought
It is a universal language

And on top of it art is so therapeutic for you to do!

When you take your feelings or thoughts and pull them out onto your art,
It is like taking them away from your mind

You can forget about a break up for a while or something else that pains you

It can help you see your mind from the outside

And that right there can help you cope with anything

Try it!

Take a piece of paper and draw absolutely anything you like and it doesn't have to look amazing, just as long as you feel the art rather than simply "do" it

A kiss for you!

Present

One thing you must do to be happy is stay in the present

It is extremely easy to get stuck on the past or get stuck in the "what if" of the future
(I know I have plenty of times....)

That will leave you wanting more always because you can't change either of those

What you can change is the present

The present is right here ready to be mold into whatever you like

Sure future goals are great but not when it becomes obsession and fearful
And sure remembering the past is nice sometimes but again not when it's an obsession

How do you stay in the present? It can be quite tricky

Take a look at what is happening right now
You could be listening to a song, working, playing with your dog, just breathing
Focus on that exact thing you are doing
Don't let anything else come into mind

When you start to practice this and get a firm hold on your thoughts then you can be a much happier and calmer person
Focusing on one thing at a time helps to center yourself immensely

A kiss for you!

Remember you can not have control over the past or future but you do have control over the now

JK Rowling

JK Rowling is so right!
We do talk about success a lot more than failure when failure is the building block of success!

We have to fail to succeed, it must happen
We have to hit the lowest of lows in our life to realize there is nothing left to lose
Once there is nothing left for you to lose, you become a risk taker, you're reborn into a courageous person with a new outlook on life.

This gives you unlimited ambition and determination

Losing everything you have and hitting the lowest point in your life is a fantastic thing to happen to you because you can only go up from there

That will liberate you to do great things in your life, which is the best gift for yourself, your friends, and the world

Liberation comes from overcoming fear, conquer your fear and your free

Free to live the life you want!

Embrace your failures and be free you guys! It is quite amazing

A kiss for you!

Love,

What's The Worst?

What is the worst that can happen?
Really think about that.....
If you take a risk doing something what is the worst that can happen?
Somebody goes Saw style on you and kills you because you quit your job and opened a new business?
Hmmm.... Not very likely, sorry

Stop dreaming up worst case scenarios just to get out of being truly happy
Take a risk and enjoy the benefits
or fail and learn from your mistake

That's all folks, super simple, super easy!
Not everyone is out to get you!

Success doesn't happen without a lot of rejection and failing, it has to be that way or everybody would be succeeding in life because it was so easy right? right

Be the one that was courageous enough to go for what they want full speed!

"Be reckless enough to gamble all or nothing to follow your dreams" - John Galliano

This is your life! You're in control, have fun with the opportunity you've been given, which is being alive at this moment!
