Smile

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

I went and saw this documentary last night. I don't have time to put my thoughts on this into words right now as my thoughts are all over the place and this blog would be frightfully long. But I do however want to get the word out about this awesome movement.

Depression

This time of year it is extremely easy to succumb to the evils of depression. Frankly, my life has been in upheaval this month; and I'm not even going to pretend I've been able to stay strong through all of it. I've been having a HARD time.
It all started with an almost rude awakening, which led to numerous tear-filled discussions, and currently leaves me with knowledge that lot of change is coming my way, for better or worse. [Not to mention the amount of people who have added to the pain of this month by dragging me into unnecessary drama.]

Vic has this theory about November and how people get crazy this time of year. At the beginning of the month, I wasn't sure I bought into his theory. Now, looking back on all the events that have transpired I can't deny the truth of this theory. There is a lot of change that takes place this time of year, with the seasons changing, holidays, ending the year, etc. It makes people crazy. --And I am not excluding myself here.--

I don't feel like going into everything that's happening with me.... not yet. I just wanted to point out this blog about depression that I came across. It is so easy to relate to and hilarious to read; check it out:
