Being depressed is not about being emotional or moody. Depression is much more than just sadness. You can’t just toughen up or get over it, it’s not that easy. Depression is a serious medical condition that we all should be aware.
We all suffer from the normal ups and downs of life from time to time and that’s a normal reaction to life’s struggles and disappointments. But when someone suffers from depression, the emptiness and despair doesn’t go away, it takes over their lives by interfering with their ability to study, eat, sleep, work, have fun and in general it makes it tough for them to function. They feel helpless, hopeless, and worthless, so much that they can’t enjoy life as they once did and they want to give up.
Sometimes people dealing with depression don’t feel sad, but they feel angry and aggression. But no matter how hopeless you feel, it can get better. If left untreated, depression can become very serious, have long term consequences, and it could even be deadly.
I have to confess that I used to think that people dealing with sadness could just suck it up or if they were moody they could just get over it, but I was wrong. This year I've learned firsthand about depression, not only it deprives you of any joy you derive from life and causes you to doubt yourself but you lose interest in just about everything. I misunderstood the signs of depression on one of my loved ones, but I’m glad to say it wasn’t too late. It was a wakeup call for me and it scared me, especially because it was dealing with someone that I love dearly and how close I came to lose him.
The first step to overcoming the problem is to understand the signs, symptoms, causes, and treatment of depression. If you're suffering from depression, do not suffer in silence and seek professional help! Depression can be successfully treated and controlled.
And remember this, there is always hope, and you should never ever give up!

Well, I don’t necessarily agree with this statement, but that is just me. I think that if you want something in life no matter what it is, even love, you have to look for it.
If you are looking for love, you need to put yourself out there in order to be noticed. Pursuing love does not mean that you have to be aggressive or needy with your prospective dates. You don’t have to wear a neon sign around your neck that says, “Single and looking for Love.” It simply means that you are willing to connect with more people and that you are receptive to being loved. When you start actively looking for quality prospects, you greatly increase your odds of finding love. If you are not happy with your single status, do not wait for true love to fall into your lap. Get out there and make it happen. You have the power to change your life. Just relax, keep a positive attitude and do not ever stop smiling, you never know who is falling in love with your smile.And for the rest of us that are happy with our single lifestyle of freedom and flexibility, let us keep doing what makes us happy.XOXO
Don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve to be happy. You control your life and as long as you are doing something that makes you happy, that's all that matters. So always stay true to yourself and never ever sacrifice who you are for anyone!
Trust me it is fun to be random and weird!

My #1 Facebook Pet Peeve
There is a difference in liking yourself and being a narcissist. I for one don’t mind when someone post tasteful and occasional pictures of themselves or of their family, we all do it, including myself and there is nothing wrong with that, but when you start posting daily selfies ("HEY, LOOK AT ME!") sometimes several times a day, excuse me for saying but there is something wrong with you.
We all love the ego boost when we get compliments, but enough already, stop idolizing yourself! Remember your daily self portrait not only appears on your page but in the newsfeed of all of your connected friends, and that can be annoying.

The twins have ten minutes to escape a parallel world or they will face Paxton's wrath, but first there is someone they must help.Get your copy! I hope you enjoy it too!

When I first started working on my novel Secret Sins, I had a different cover, but since then I have changed it. I thought the first cover was too dark, so I played around with different images until I finally came up with this one and I was ready to reveal it. I believe it fits perfectly to the story, it reflects innocence trapped in a chilling mystery of dark secrets, painful truth and deadly obsessions.

To break free and fly away from the crap that holds you back, the first thing to do is to remove yourself from negative environments and the negative people or as I call them “Emotional Vampires.” They are the ones with anger, resentment, low self-esteem, pessimism and low frustration tolerance. That negativity over time becomes part of their personality.
Emotional vampires suck the life out of you and every ounce of happiness you have when you are around them. These negative people are the enemies of positive growth and change, and the effects of them around you can actually last much longer than just the time you spend with them. All that negativity sticks to you and weights you down from having a positive life, inner peace and from focusing on what you would like to accomplish.
If you want success and a positive change in your life, surround yourself with positive, stable, and happy people. However, if you MUST interact with an “Emotional Vampire” because they are blood relatives, friends or coworkers, my suggestion is to keep them at arm's length. (I sincerely hope you have a long arm.)
There are negative people everywhere, and over the years, I've learned that you can't change people, no matter how hard you try, but what you can do is change where and with whom you hang out. There are simple ways to help you remove any ongoing negativity from around you, and to keep those emotional vampires at bay. It’s up to you to do your best to protect yourself from the negative energy they spew your way and I don’t mean wear a garland of garlic around your neck for protection, it doesn’t work for these types of suckers.
It is your responsibility to look after yourself. If you don't, no one else will. So, don't let negative people rent space in your head. Make the decision to stay away from any environments that don't serve you. Don't let others take advantage of your good nature. Set boundaries and learn to say “NO” more often. (I definitely need to start working on that!) Hang around only with those who are positive, those who encourage you and help you grow.
It’s your life and you deserve to be happy. Happy people attract all good things to themselves. So stay positive and always follow your positive thoughts with positive action.
Go on and cut the line that is holding you down… and fly away to happiness!
Do you believe in Angels?
I do and I think that there are three types of angels, and I am one of them and more likely, you are one too. Let me explain.
We all know the first type of Angels, the spiritual beings created by God, who serve God and are sent by God to deliver his message and to guard us when we seek guidance, comfort and reassurance. The ones that are send to us by God to answer our prayers, these spiritual messengers of peace give us hope, so if you believe and have faith as I do, then you have a guardian angel watching over you. These are the Celestial Angels mentioned in the scriptures.
The second type of Angels depends on your personal belief. I like to think that when we lose someone we love, they become our personal Angels. These Angels are special because they loved us at one time unconditionally, so they stick around and look after us in our time of need. This might not be real or scientifically proven, but it is nice to believe that after their death, our loved ones are still a part of us. I know some of you may not agree, but that is just my personal belief. These I like to call Special Angels, and I have one too —my mom is my Special Angel. *winks*
Then there is also another type of Angels. I’m talking about the ones that walk among us. Yes, there is a little piece of heaven right here on earth. At one point in our life we will be touched by one, they are the Earth Angels, people that God placed in our paths to give us encouragement, love, skills and hope when we need it the most.
Earth Angels come in all ages, gender, ethnicity and sizes, you may not recognize them because they have no wings, but they exist. Earth Angels come in our time of need and help solve our problems, they are here to comfort you and inspire you, some are here to guide you and help you, some to teach you and encourage you, and some to love you and make you laugh.
Often people don’t realize that everything they do touch others. A simple smile can brighten up someone else's day, a kind and gentle word can make a difference in someone’s life, a tiny act of kindness can create a ray of sunshine and bring a smile to someone who is unfortunate.
Everyone can always choose to be someone’s Earth Angel, you just need to reach out and touch someone. I know I’m an Earth Angel because if you read this, I just touched you and made you smile.
