Some things I hate...

I hate depression and suicide.

How generic, who doesn't?

The reason why I hate it is because I don't get it and so it scares me. I can't relate so how can I help? It's so far out of my realm of existence that I just can't contemplate how it could ever be that bad.

I guess that means I'm lucky, and I certainly consider myself such, but I just can't believe that these people have NO ONE who can help them out or that they can't help themselves.

If I don't have my friends or my family to help me through whatever, I have characters from books or movies, songs, a poem something that helps me get through whatever. Music mainly, I have 3 songs (so far) that always manage to get me out of my funk.

I Don't Need a Man - PCD

'I don't need a man to make me feel good
I get off doing my thing.'
I do, in fact 'have a man' now but I think my point still stands, he does not, and will not, define my life.


Wings - Little Mix

'Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And if they give you shhhh...
Then they can walk on by.'
Captain Jack Sparrow said it: sticks and stones, love.
If there is someone in your life who's giving you shit, get rid of them, I dont care who they are, they're not someone who cares about you.


Survivor - Destiny's Child 
'I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it.'
Survival of the fittest, always remember, you were the fastest sperm (unless of course you were a testtube baby, in that case just remember how badly your parents wanted you).

So there they are, my go to when-I'm-feeling-down songs. Yes, look at that they're all girl groups, maybe I'm secretly a closet feminist, but there are lines in these songs that are like my mantras.

God, maybe I'm being insensitive, I don't know this is just how I handle things because this is how I was raised, as an independent woman with a loving family and friends who care about her who is lucky enough to not be able to comprehend how life could ever be bad enough to consider ending it.
