Time served on the Earth does not mean you grow in mind.

I think this has to be one of my favourite quotes (not of my own creation, but well-liked all the same).

Rather than believing in the typical meaning behind this quote that just because you grow older and ‘wiser’, it does not mean that you will also mature in body, mind and soul; I personally interpretated this quote, due to my own experiences etc., as saying that sometimes no matter how hard you try for a period of time – whether it’s a few days or a few years -, your mind will never change. I suppose this could be passed as ignorance but that is certainly not how I thought of it.

I took the discovery of this quote as showing me that sometimes things just do not change. Your mindset, thought process – whatever it may be, and no matter how many times it may temporarily dissipate or fade into the background; it will always return just as it always was. This was how I finally accepted my depression. I hated it, I despised it’s omnipotence. But if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em… Right

Wrong. Because after my original thought process about the meaning of this quote, I thought to myself; well why can’t I change? Why can’t I rid and cleanse myself of this? And so that is what Idecided to do. I will help myself. I haven’t worked out how yet, but ‘venting’ in this site does clear a few clouds for a period of time. Enough time to be able o sleep for a few hours anyways (from the UK here so it’s already past 12 haha).

Well I hope something I have written will have inspired or sparked something in someone if anyone reads this.

Good day to all – and I’m only a few words away if anyone needs someone to talk to or be listened to ??
