Day 1: Happy Memory

#GratitudeBlog1
#ThreeGOODThings

The moment I woke up, the thought of writing three good things about my day made me unconsciously conscious. It's like, making every moment "memorable" and "good". But sadly, it did not turned it the way I wanted to. Nevertheless, my day turned out well and these are the things that happened to me that I considered good.




Good Thing No. 1: The fact that I woke up and was given by God another life to live can be the best thing that happened to me today. Also, having an "extended" sleep because of a special holiday plus not going to school really feels good. :)

Good Thing No. 2: Mondays! it's that day of the week that all about acads come in which means, responsibilities, expectations and stress. But Mondays aren't that bad, it also means, Primetime Bida, OTWOL and JaDine! Yeee. Indeed, one of the best things today! :)

Good Thing No. 3: Family. Need I say more? I am very grateful for my family. My mother, my titas, everyone. I am very lucky that I belong to this kind of family. A family that is firm in making decisions and in implementing disciplines. I love how they can be so strict in their rules but become so soft in giving care and support to each member of our family. I am very happy and blessed to have them. Good thing really. :)






Au Revoir!

Last Saturday, when I was surfing the net, I caught myself watching videos about depression and all those mental illnesses that I am familiar with, maybe because of boredom. After watching different videos, I realized that I was so empty-headed about all of those things. I did not expect that those illnesses can have "that" negative effect. I never thought that it can become a monster and consume the whole being. 

What hit me the most was that video about depression, it's animated but it has that message that can open our hearts and minds. Some people may say to those suffering that "it's just all in your head" but no, you don't understand until you've experienced it yourself. 

All we know about depression is about being sad, hopeless or worthless. We did not know that depression is a "real" illness that impacts the brain. It is not imaginary. It is more than anything that anyone feels. Do you think they like their situation? Do you think they did not do anything just to overcome that monster growing inside of them? Well, think twice because they are all trying there best just to survive those voices they hear.

I am writing this because I want everyone to be aware about those people battling about this illness that they need you. They need someone to be there for them, someone whom they can talk to and to help them cope with whatever situation they have.

By the way, this was the video I was referring to.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCrniLQGYc
