DEPRESSION - What it is and how to overcome it!

Depression drains your energy , hope , and drive , making it difficult to take the steps that will help you to feel better. But while overcoming depression isn’t quick or easy, it’s far from impossible . You can’t just will yourself to “snap out of it,” but you do have more control than you realize—even if your depression is severe and stubbornly persistent. The key is to start small and build from there. Feeling better takes time, but you can get there by making positive choices for yourself each day. I know it's still considered a taboo to discuss depression in some communities or even want to believe that it exists and so they do not talk about it. For example, the black/african community and even the Asian community. We use words like “man up” “be a man” “how can you be depressed? afterall you have a good job, home and family..What else do you want ? but history has shown us that this successful people are more susceptible to take their own lives first. In Asia where depre...

A special girl!

There is this special girl, a one of a kind of girl who is different from any other girl you have met. A girl who knows exactly what it is she wants out of life. And a girl who isn't afraid to get it. A girl who knows how valuable she is. You may think that she is heartless and ruthless. Actually, she is someone who knows how to love! Someone who would give you all of her heart. Someone who craves love. She just thinks that romantic love is too complicated for her and that she is too complicated for love. One of the first reasons why this woman is convinced she is not meant to be loved is that she has been through a lot in the past. She was this open-hearted, vulnerable and naive girl who was ready to carry her heart on the sleeve. A girl who had faith in people and that brought her a lot of trouble. But her past experiences taught her to be different. Her heartbreaks and failed relationships taught her to become guarded and to protect herself the best way possible....

PARENTS :FRIENDS or FOE??

Being an African. Our parents pretty much decide what we will and won’t be in life from when we are born. They choose our friends, fashion (what to wear), schools we attend, our hobbies to our discipline in college. Some parents even dictate who you end up marrying. They put us under so much pressures and expectations.. It’s a wonder we can grow up to make any sound decisions ourselves..they make all your decisions by telling you to be quiet. What do you know? Then all of a sudden you are grown and they want u to make decisions. How? I could barely get a word out growing up. Now don’t get me wrong. They mostly mean well for us. But how long does meaning well continue to be at our own detriment and mental strengths? They use their power over us as our guardians and sole providers to manipulate us and tell us what to do. A typical African home, your father especially is telling you when you grow up,you will be a doctor ,or a lawyer or an accountant. Ignoring where your key talents li...
