@KAA: Yes a kitten can make some people happier!

@Miragi: Yes, drugs and drinking are particularly detrimental to people with depression and I’ve had my fair share of both when younger. No matter how bads things are on one day, they will certainly improve on another. I used to expect depression. I no longer have that view. If I’m going to be depressed, it must hunt me down because I refuse to expect anything but feeling positive!

It’s on days like today that I wonder why I don’t drink or do drugs. And also, on days like today, I will come across something or somebody that will enlighten me on my otherwise solitary journey through the quicksand and full metal jacket journey of depression. Today, I decided to read your blog.

Today, on this side of the screen, it’s one of the harder days to focus on the joys of the act of breathing. But, I know tomorrow is another day, and the chance for feeling better.

Thank you for the wake up call!

@Bobo: Yes that would be nice!!!!

@Paul: I can’t control it completely, but am better than when I was young. Sometimes, depression is overpowering and happiness illusive.

While I do believe in the power of the mind and how you can affect your own mood, I don’t think you can control it entirely as you suggest. As for the eternal question: why are we here and what is our meaning? – well, this has been debated over and over again and I personally believe there’s no particular reason, it is just a pure game of chance. All you can do is stay for the ride and try to make yourself happy. For me personally, that would mean to travel all over the world and see all the incredible places on Earth before I die.

Hi Bobby!, I just realized it was your multiply ID soon after I pushed the button “denied”, sorry sorry LOL- the ID was blank and had no messages for me, so I thought you could’ve been someone that might have harmed my computer LOL. I know Multiply is only limited to “member” – I just knew it some weeks after I joined in around 2006. And it does not allow other non-multiply users to comment-they say to avoid spams. I was about to make blogs on another account that is somehow more open, but I postponed it again and again ( sigh). Anyhow, if you still remember your multiply ID and would like to comment on my blogs, perhaps you can re-invite me?.
See ya

Thank you so much Lulu! I meant to tell you I got a multiply account just so I could leave comments on your blog. I wish multiply were more open and allowed comments from self-hosted wordpress bloggers or Google blogspot bloggers. Maybe it does and I just don’t know how to do it!

You go to sleep when you’re down? That sounds like a good idea LOL!

Hi Bobby!, I enjoyed your entry. Human beings mostly are never satisfied with what they’ve got; they want more and more; they set 3, then they want 4 later they want 5, and more and more. When they don’t get what they want they become depressed, and none can control it, but they themselves. Perhaps happiness means to be thankful for whatever you get. When I feel down and low- I think I’ll just go to sleep, LOL.
I am gonna love your blogs by the way

@Nutri: Thanks for reading, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

@Jackie: Enjoy the rest of your vacation! Hahaha…I don’t know if you’ll actually like my upcoming horror story!!!

@Dave: Sometimes it doesn’t seem like a choice, but ultimately is.

@CEblogger: A great book indeed.

@Gypsy: Thanks! It’s a scientific fact that many artistic writers/people suffer from depression – it definitely makes them more interesting!

@Ana: When I feel down, I read through that book and it gives me perspective. If he could maintain sanity in that situation, my problems are nothing by comparison. A teenage son must be a handful, I know I was lol!!!

@Eric: Are you sure you haven’t already had a lobotomy? Hahahaha!!! Save some Gatorade for me, it can get hot under that nuclear radiation!
