Times like these

Sometimes all someone needs is to know that there is one person out there always thinking about them. It doesn't matter if it is a family member or someone from your peers. It is an amazing feeling knowing that someone out there actually truly cares about you. Not just when it is convenient for them, like if they will get something out of it, just because they know that they can. Some things in this life can not be described to anyone, you just have to feel it. Love, depression, and heart break are a few of those things.  Ironically I have experienced all three of these, within the last year.

Love. Honestly knowing that you would do anything you can to protect that special someone(s). I would have given my life to make sure that my ex survived. And when we had a pregnancy scare, I already knew that no matter what happened, I would love my kid with everything that I have.

Depression. I actually have gone through this at several points in my life, and every time I have come out of it (on my own) and I have become a stronger person because of it. Every time I had the same things happen, I was sad all the time, stopped eating, stopped sleeping, shut myself off from everyone. The first time I experienced this was in my 8th grade year. The thing that woke me up from that was seeing my brother cry for the first time in my life. For those of you who don't know, my brother is the person that I look up to the most.  The second time I was presented with depression my ex actually helped my get out of it (we helped each other) and the third time a recent friend helped me out of it, just by letting me talk to them.

Heart break. One of the most painful things that could happen, in my opinion, without being physically harmed. I can not even start to describe this. It felt as if my world had come crashing down, as if all of a sudden time itself had stopped. Like the weight of the world was placed onto my shoulders and now everything was my burden to bear.
