Working on a Dream

We all have dreams and goals that we want to obtain. We want to do better for ourselves, we want our children to have it better than we do. We want to reconcile or differences. We want a lot. We want our dreams and goals.

When do we think of others? Sometime helping others can bring us that other things can't. I spent the better part of the afternoon texting and chatting with two people in need. All I was, was a friend who listened and gave some honest advice. We talked for some time. Just being there for someone is all we need to do. It costs nothing and it allows people to let some of their daemons out.

We all want better for ourselves, that is human nature. But, if we give some of that uplifting to someone else, even if that person never repays it to you, they may repay it to countless others. We must hope that the good we do will go farther than what we give. The world may be a better place.

While talking to a friend yesterday, I realized that they had no goals or reasons to leave their room. After talking with them we made the decision not to leave the house and make a snow angel, but to clean the kitchen. Once, this baby step goal was realized, and the realization of having to start somewhere and having to release yourself from the chains that hold you to your routine you can start to become a little happier. Sometimes the goal can be a phone call to a friend for support, or sending me a message. I will respond as soon as I can.

Don't be scared of the side effects of the medication. They may be hard at first, but so was learning to ride a bike. You crashed at first, but you learned, took off the training wheels, and got to a point of going without hands. Life is full of challenges and trials. That is what life is and how it shapes us. Do research on the meds, you all have computers. Just like the tide, fight the meds by not taking them, and you fight the chance to get better. The first, second, third med might not work. I have literally been on them all but the MAOIs. None worked for me, but the neurostar did. I suffered years, and fought the whole way. Don't give up on yourself, and by all means help others as you can. It will make you feel better and give someone advice that just might save them.
