I have to admit, my Mind has been in a dark place the past month or so. Not for any particular reason, just one of those times where you let the dark thoughts in and they start to twist and warp what you see and hear. Not like I've not fought back. I've tried to stay upbeat and press on, muscle my way through the storms.

Not sure how well I did, honestly, don't know if I was able to make someone's day a little brighter, help someone keep on smiling, even if I wasn't able to. But I serenely hope so. I know what its like to be in that valley. Wandering around blindly, lost and alone. If I can be a tiny light to someone, even if no more than a spark, then its worth the effort.

But in the end, every valley has its exit. You keep pressing on each day, even if its only one step at a time. You keep walking forward. Never stopping, never giving up, keep pressing on till you've found your way out and move on. Ya, you may stubble in the dark, might even gain a few new scars with you fall. Yet, if you simply lay down and give up, that's were you'll remain.

So, if I had to give advice to anyone reading this; if you're going through a valley, a dark place were you can't seem to see where you're headed or what's going to come next. Just keep walking. Each day, pushing forward till you've left the valley behind, even if you all you take is one step at a time.

      If I'll have to advice someone who is going through dark times/depression right now..I'll say go find another hobbies, spend more meaningful time with your family and friends, find new friends, talk to someone..talk to stranger. Sometimes it's better to open to strangers cause simply they don't know you, you don't care what they think of you, you can be more honest with your feelings...

      Keep moving forward, be positive and oh bring a flash light or use your phone light when you're in a dark alley, you might stumble upon unseen objects and fall. Don't get yourself hurt ^_^.v
