Hello APPICS Fam! Its been a while since my last post and I apologize to everyone ...

... of you for not being around for a certain period of time.

Well, where will I start? Everyone of us has our own problems and struggles in life, even the greatest people in the world once had their own too and yet they overcome these things, continue to live and attain success. And I want to highlight to everyone of you that God doesn't give us challenges we cannot overcome, I am glad that it was instilled in my mind on those times.

For the past weeks I was out, I was in DEPRESSION. Didn't know what to do everytime I wake up in the morning, thinking why am I still alive and what is my purpose in this world. Way back before, I was the one seeing this kind of things of what people in depression is thinking & feeling and right now, I am experiencing it too. It was the worst time of my life and I don't want to felt it again, there will be a time that you think of ending your life just to stop the problems you are facing.

One of my mistakes was to keep my problems unto myself ALONE. I was afraid that my friends and family will get involved into it, so I kept it and wanted to solve it on my own. That's the time I realized that a lot of individuals who were suffering in depression ended their lives because of the mentality of keeping their problems to themselves. My friend, it won't help. NO MAN is an ISLAND. You can't live alone in your own. You need someone to help you, everyone of us needs care and someone to lean on. That's how I overcome mine and realized its not my own battle and that I have friends & family that wanted to share these pain I felt.

And here am I today, not afraid of sharing to you my suffering and how did I overcome depression, it was a tough one but I know it's worth it in the end because you'll realized a lot of things in life: appreciate everything of what you have right now especially the fact that you are living and breathing because there are individuals out there wanted to extend their life but they can't. We are blessed, don't do you ever forget that.

Knowing that you have someone that will always be your back at all times, it's priceless. Keep those persons and show them your uncoditional love.

Lastly, don't forget to pray. Do not hesistate to ask help to Him because he will guide and aid us at all times. Just like I mentioned at the beginning; sometimes, we experience obstacle in our life for the sole purpose of God to make us stronger than we are before. I hope you learned something from my experience and thoughts I shared here. It's good to be back! Thank you for reading and God bless you!
