Don’t give up on HOPE
Recently I’ve been posting stuffs on my social networks as if they’re my diaries. I surf the net and notice some people who needs someone to cheer them up and send them messages. It’s a very fulfilling act, and it helped me change my attitude about life and myself.
Here’s what I found out while browsing on other posts:
****
- Most people who posted depressing things on their blog seemed really depressed with their entire existence. They don’t even notice the tiny rays of sunshine in their seemingly bleak life.
- Everything on their blog contains purely depressing thoughts. I even read some posts about individuals who were depressed when they visited some online shopping sites and realized that they don’t have the money to buy anything.
- For some, even if someone tries to cheer them up, they don’t notice it. The usual response is “leave me alone”. In that case, nobody can help them. They even say it’s hopeless for other people to try and cheer them up.
- Most of them just need to change their perspective in life. They think they carry the world on their shoulder, so they notice the weight of it more than anything else.
- Some just needs someone to confide their problems to. But nobody ever notices them so they are in a dilemma.
- Some are just going through really tough times of their lives. (I used to be like that some time ago, but I never posted my problems on Tumblr or on Facebook though. I just don’t find it a great idea to wear my heart on my sleeve. Apparently most people don’t think like I do.)
- Some seem to just have fun posting depressing thoughts on their blogs. It looks like they made it their mission in life to make everyone else suffer reading their every depressing thoughts. They seem to think it makes them cool to post depressing nonsense on their blog.

And here’s the conclusion I’ve come up.
Sooner or later quite a few Tumblr users, Facebookers or Youtubers might commit suicide if no one notices them. (I’ve already read some news about a Youtuber who commited suicide.) A lot of them needs help, but more people just have to help themselves get over with their depression.
I tried to help cheer up a few of them, and the reactions so far are positive. Two of my favorite quotes became my weapon in fighting my own depression so I shared it with them and I’m sharing it here too. And these are:
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” -E. Roosevelt
and
“Whatever is beyond the control of my will is nothing to me.” -Stoicism
Cheer up, y’all! Keep the fire of hope burning no matter how tiny it gets. In the end, only you can help yourself. Always believe that you are awesome no matter what others say about you.
