my mom tried to make me take prozac this morning. i completely refused to. maybe i'm stupid, but i don't think drugs are what i need to make myself happy. i need PEOPLE to actually care. if everyone wants to help so much, why they just sit me down and look me straight in the eye and tell me they want to hear what i have to say? that's all it will take, and i'll be able to take it from there.
seriously, i've gone through this long enough and i've heard enough accounts of people to know what is needed in this world, and that's help and care from other people. if you ask a depressed person why they are contemplating about taking their own life, nine out of ten times the answer will be "because i'm lonely and nobody cares." because that's the message the world sends out to us. this world is cruel sometimes, and it just needs to stop. too many people have lost their lives because people are just so damn selfish. i know i've been selfish too, and i'm going to stop.
so yeah... everyone who read this, look around you for someone who looks like they're having a bad day, and just HELP THEM OUT. say something nice to them, smile at them, that's all it freaking takes. and you have no idea the effect you can have on people. whether that effect be good or bad, that's your choice, and it seems like lately, people are making the wrong choice.
so that's my little sermon of the day. hope you've all enjoyed it.
