"'What's wrong?' 'Why don't you get out and do something?' 'You'd feel better if you got up and took a shower.' When I've started down that long black spiral into despression, such well-intentioned comments are more hurtful than helpful. The first two simply have no answer, and all three require answers or action of which I'm incapable and thus feed my feeling of hopelessness. The words that are most welcome are 'What can I do to help?' Sometimes I need a hug, or someone to do a specific task that I feel is overwhelming, or just a quiet presence in the room, someone not trying to 'fix' the situation or supply answers or suggestions for improvement. Sometimes I just need someone to be there, so the dark isn't quite so big."

Sometimes people believe in things that will never happen, but they still believe, and they keep trying...
Sometimes people try to put up an image to show that they good in hopes that one day they really will be good...
Sometimes we fall...
And when you go so far down.
Even getting up seems so hard.
Until you find a hope to go on...
Everyday you take a small step.
Mabe wash the dishes, or take out the garbage.
Always trying to avoid thinking about how far you've fallen...
Sometimes people remind us how far we fell.
Sometimes we listen and we fall again.
Sometimes we remember our hopes, and we get up and try again...
Always hopeing.
Constantly failing.
Endlessly wishing.
But holding onto dreams.
Is what we'll do.
Because hopes and dreams are all we have left...
So every morning.
We get out of bed.
And face a new day.
Hopeing our dreams come true...
"True commitment begins when we reach the point of not knowing how we can possibly go on, and decide to do it anyway."
