About to Give Up? Don't..

There are days that just pushed you to your limits. There are times when you feel like you had enough of all the struggles that you have to faced.  There are moments that you feel like this pain is just unbearable and you want it to end then and there. There are mornings when the process of getting out of bed drains you of all energy. In the silence of the night you cry for reasons so concrete its hard to simply break from that streak of depression.

You stand there right on the ledge contemplating on how exactly, are you going to end your life fast and as painless as possible. Question what is the meaning of my life? Why am I here? Is there a tomorrow I can look forward to? Or you might think that you will end it because it gets to confusing, and  your losing your grip of reality. You've fake a smile for so long that you've come to think that may be you are happy. Then behind close doors, a flood of tears would come because the struggle just keep on surfacing. In the silence of an empty room you tell yourself: I give up; I had enough; it's time to end this. 

If you have ever had those feelings describe above for such a long time then you might be depressed and suicidal. I don't judged you for feeling so because I too have fallen to this trap once but I am glad I come out fighting. I am continually fighting and I am able to this because I have friends, I have family and God. I guess what I want you to know though, is that you are not alone and it's okay to talk about it with someone.  Get the negativity out and pour in some positive thoughts into your heart and soul.

Newsflash, no death is ever rid of pain. No matter how beautifully we paint the word death, it is still and will always back-dropped with an eerie  feeling.  Come out victorious from these dark thoughts and be an inspiration to someone. Express yourself and spread the love. 

I wrote a poem entitled Suicidal at a time when I felt most vulnerable to this kind of tendency. I am glad I wrote because it eased the burden and it paved the way to a thorough understanding. Suicide is not an answer it is a cry for help. 

I am not an expert in this matter but I know how it feels. I know how long those gloomy hopeless days would seem. I know what its like to feel so uncertain about the future that you have to summon a ton of energy just to get through the day. If you have the time take a moment to listen to the song entitled Something More by Nick Vujicic.

Inspiration: Liz Murray

             Harvard is a school for the elite, right?Probably reserve for the people born with some good fortune. Can you even imagine someone homeless, parentless and dirt-poor walking its halls and attending and graduating from this grand university? I bet you'd have your doubts, or even shrugged your shoulder in disbelief when I tell you that yes its possible. 

            I would like you to meet one of my inspirations, Ms. Liz Murray. 

Liz Murray and her mother 

              Liz Murray has beat the odds and made her way to Harvard. Ah, whenever  I remember her story I feel the rush of inspiration gosh through my bloodstream. She has been through a lot of things but she was able to redefine herself despite of the hardships of world she was born in. Her parents were druggies and society has labeled her as those who will not achieve anything significant. She has been dubbed as someone that has no hope and can't stray from the doomed path her world has set on her. The spirit, the smarts and the dedication of this lady is just remarkable.

              If you want to know more about Liz Murray you could actually watch her story in the Lifetime movie Homeless to Harvard. 

                 
             If you feel like giving up because your present circumstances, stop, breath, and think of  Liz Murray. Be an inspiration to someone. Succeed and prove the doubters.

Early Pregnancy

The world of early pregnancy is all too familiar for this generation. It so often that we personally know someone who got pregnant at such a young age. If we don't,the media never fail to remind us of this reality. Its in our televisions, movies magazines,social network and internet.

so the tagline goes "if its positive call MTV"

Shows like "16 and pregnant" and "Teen Mom" is just prime example of it. In this show you can see the teens struggle to balance teenage life and parenthood. They are barely adults themselves but they are force to face the music. 

These kids did it and they face the consequence

The depicts the high and lows of early parenthood

I hope though that this show will serve as a positive force so as to let teens know about the consequences of early sexual escapades. I hope it does not twist their noggins into believing that getting pregnant is "in thing".  Here is a promising fact from dosomething.org "Teens had fewer babies in 2010 than in any year since the mid-1940s". Parenthood is a beautiful and fulfilling experience, but it has its fair share of challenges.Dudes before you unzip your pants and ladies before you spread your legs: think of the consequences. Ask yourself if you are ready to face whatever consequence, be an STI or pregnancy.

Facts are just facts and statistics are just numbers, if your a teenage parent then its not the end of the world. Face the music and carry on. Prove to everyone that against all odds you are going to beat society's perception.

Perfection

I was busy cooking up the best ideas for my blog. I spent almost six months contemplating on what should my niche be. I spent all those time thinking that when I launched my blog it should be perfect. I was in search for perfection which I believe I desperately need in order to survive the bloggersphere. Then, I realized something very important if all writer waited for perfection then all those great novels will not come about. So here I am taking a shot, pasting this imperfections together and hoping that someday it will be polished enough that somebody might dare to read it.
