forced

Have you ever laid in bed and dreaded the thought of leaving it? It felt so comfortable and safe. Nothing could go wrong if you just stayed hidden beneith your covers. An area of blissful solitude. But, you have to get up. There is a reason for why you must leave your solitude of bliss. You see, we are always doing things for a reason. There is a reason why you got out of bed this morning. You didn't have to, but you did. You got out of bed because who else is going to do it? the only person who can do it is you; so it has to get completed.

This is much like depression. Depression is like your bed. You could lay in that depression all day if you wanted to. Actually some stay in their depression for years. Hiding themselves from the world because there is nothing to get up for. There is always something or someone to get up for. Something or someone to force you out of depression. There are people and things in this world that need you. No one else can do it but YOU. You lay in that depression and assume this world is better without you. What's the point of getting out of bed, no one needs you? Someone does. You will be forever needed. Even if it turns out to be someone you never met, they need you.

Being needed is a lot better than being wanted.

I understand what it's like to completely hate yourself and the world around you. I understand what it's like to feel as if nothing you do is good enough. I understand feeling like a failure in a room full of accomplished people. I know what it feels like to lay in bed and dread the thought of having to leave it. Dreading the thought of facing the world one more time. Sometimes people will say to you that they understand what you're feeling, take their word for it. They really do understand how you feel. You're not the only one who feels this way or thinks the way that you do. Someone else thinks and feels the same way you do. God did not put us on this earth in hopes that we would all have our own thoughts and feelings; that no one would understand each other. We have these similar thoughts and feelings so we can come together and become stronger. It is impossible to built strength on your own. Everyone needs someone to help build them up. Even if it is someone who hasn't reached the age of 2. That little person can strengthen you. No one can stand alone and if anyone has ever told you they did and got strong from it- They lied. This world needs YOU! like I said before, its a lot better to be needed than wanted. Don't you agree?
