Dear Maria...

It was nice of you to write us:)
Well.. It doesn't seem like you are doing alright these days and it's kinda worrying me, but as always, I don't know what I can do to make it better..-.-;

But then, I feel more or less the same these days.. I tend to take everything more personally than necesary, and everything around me seems to happen for/by/because of me.
And I do pusing ppl away thing too.. not on purpose, of course, but it just happens.
At least it makes me happy when I find out some people won't be pushed away as easily as others and will stick with me no matter what:).. I guess those are the ones I call friends and the other ones are "temporary" friends.. or may be I got a little carried away just now; Ah, the teenage angst. Should get over it in 4 months;;

Oh, hey, I know what I can do for ya:) I'll remember to say something for you everytime I pray..
and um.. it's good that you are trying to be optimistic.. keep doing that. Even if u get depressed, tell yourself it's not that bad.. you know?
Here's something for you from this book I was reading.. It was something like this:

Complaining is a choice. You can choose to complain or choose not to. So is happiness. You can choose to be happy, or choose not to be. Everything that you are is the result of everything you choose to do, say, think, listen to, etc, in a given situation. Of course, that would mean you are responsible for everything, both good and bad, you did or say in the past, and you shouldn't avoid accepting it, but that also means you have the power to change what is going to happen to you or how you will be feeling in the future.

I know it all sounds cliche but it's all true, you know? I know it's hard to incorporate all this to your life immediately, cuz I still complain a lot even after reading that. But I'd rather be optimistic and believe in myself than be pessimistic and blame myself for everything.. so that's what I'm trying to do at all times now, and I really really hope you could do the same, especially at times like this when you are going through such a tough time. Don't let depression to control over your life and happiness ever again, alright?

I miss you, too, hun:)
*huggles*
I'll keep praying for you.

Sylvia
