Hey you out there.
Yes, you. I have something that for some reason, I just felt this incredible urge to share.
Don’t get me wrong. I barely know you.
So what I have to say may not really affect your life at all.
But it’s still something I’m going to say, so please listen to me.
It’s not your fault.
You’re just a human being like the rest of us.
Even successful people have problems.
And something else.
You aren’t a failure. You never were.
You may feel like you aren’t doing anything with your life. That all day long you do “nothing”.
But I just want you to remember this.
You’re where you are right now, because you wanted to be right here.
Doing nothing isn’t a “waste” of life or talent. It’s something that you yourself wanted more than anything, and that’s what you’re doing.
Other people expect or demand things out of you, but they’re just worried about you. That’s all.
They don’t want to see you become unhappy. They don’t think that you’re doing what you wanted to do.
You are loved. In some way, shape, or form.
You may be loved by someone you’ve never met. But their love is there regardless.
Well, I’ve said what I wanted.
That’s all.

Thank you! That was rather a pleasant read.
2 things:
1) I never wanted to be where I am right now. Where I am right now is more horrible than I ever could have imagined.
2) I don’t want to be loved by someone I’ve never met. What use is that?
I disagree with your comments below

I’m not where I am purposefully. I would love to get from where I am. Sorry but I disagree with your whole post.
You know, depression makes me sick. Being chronically depressed, seeing my girlfriend with chronic depression, and now here with everyone wanting to commit suicide, I wanted to create a post that was on the lighter note to make few of you out there happy with yourselves. I posted this thinking “maybe one person will see it, maybe I’ll save one life today.”
But no.
I don’t care if you disagree with what I have to say or claim you don’t want someone to love you if you don’t know them. Because isn’t that why you’ve joined this site? To talk to people? Or did you join just to judge like you have with my post. And if that’s the reason why you’re hear than its people like you that make people like us feel like shit.
I’m not judging others posts. I just feel like yours was telling us that we are where we are by choice…which isn’t true.
I get where you’re coming from, and everyone is misinterpreting what you are saying.
Basically, this post is about taking responsibility, not about casting blame. Depression is a horrible hole to be in that no one CHOOSES…. but at the same time, if you DON’T choose to do something about it, doesn’t that mean you chose depression by default?
Anyway, I think the point of the post is meant to be empowering… having options, having choices, is empowering. Thanks for the great message. Don’t worry about the misinterpretations.
