Tuesday

So, now that I have a level head, I'll tell you about my very vague and saddening post a few days ago.

It all started with "...... just kill me before I do it myself" on Saturday. How can I not notice that? I started talking with the person who posted that status. I'll admit, I was getting a little antsy, because it was way past time to leave to go out to dinner with my friends. However, I was having no luck getting down to the pure 'why' aspect. So I simply just left. I decided I was going to go out and have fun with my friends. I mean, I tried talking to them when I got back, but they never responded.

I didn't realize what I did until Sunday. I had left someone that a) what very clearly depressed and b) that I told I'd always be open to talk. Well, they were still alive with no help from me. The day went on and I began to feel more and more guilty. I went to bed that night... and I couldn't fall asleep.

It was probably after ten when I just began sobbing. I mean, not loudly because that's not who I am, but I was crying heavily for me. I don't stop for about a half hour, at least.

I mean, I still feel guilty, but it's not such a big deal now. I have a feeling he's at least a little bit better, too.

In other news...

Ow. I just aggravated something that was already hurting. I went out on a walk today, and just completely hurt my knee. I could stand it before, but now I'm just trying not to focus on it.

On Saturday, I borrowed a flute from my friend, and am now starting to practice it again. It makes me so happy that I can do it again. After only a few days of practice, I can get through some *very* simple melodies. I'm starting to feel like I'm doing something to make me happy again.

Considering I went through a horrible depression mode just a few weeks ago, I need something to make me happy. I've picked up something I've been meaning to do, and maybe some things will follow suit.

Lately, I've also been on a little "side-quest" of loosing weight. As of.. yesterday I think, I've lost about 4 pounds. I'm ready to start getting back to how I was.

School has been going fairly well, with my six weeks grades being: 2 B's (and high B's, too) and 5 A's (some of them low A's, but that's OK).

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with
actions and in truth.
-- 1 John 3:18

Sunday

I'm sorry.
I lied.

I'll elaborate later when my emotions aren't overpowering my thoughts.

Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants
to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."
-- Mark 9:35

Friday

Today I was happy. This was the first day in weeks that I hadn't woken up and thought that this was just another day I had to trudge through. This morning I woke up and thought... "Let's go." I was ready to go. I just felt like there was nothing that could bring me down.

And you know what? That's true. All through the day I just felt nice and head strong. Then lunch made me laugh so hard I almost cried and my stomach started to hurt. I chuckled so much during chem and the day went by... kinda fast.

Then I spent like 5 hours at my friend's house and I just had a great time.

So, I think I can say that today was amazing. I have never felt better and I think a good deal of that has to do with the fact that I talked to someone. I wasn't alone in my problem. It wasn't only on my shoulders. Someone cared.

That alone made me smile. And the fact that I fell asleep talking to them... on top of the fact that I almost NEVER talk to them face to face. I just wonder if they know what they did... because they saved me from crying myself to sleep last night. I honestly don't care if that was a one night thing... I'm just happy.

They may never know the impact of just a few simple words... but it's the fact that they said it. It's like this quote I read somewhere.... people will forget what you said, and they won't remember what you did... but they'll always remember how they made you feel. That's how I apply my life...

But I'm just on a happy rant. I've been stressed with school so, I haven't been updating at all.... but I guess besides the depression, life has been going well.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
-- Psalm 46:1
