NOT The End.

When you talk about mental health, or you tell someone that you are going to see a therapist, what do you think they will say? Arey!, but you are not crazy…?

The world right now is in between a mental health crisis. Almost half the population suffers from depression at some point or the other in their lives. Do you know which age group has the most number of depressed people? It’s the teens. Since the childhood, the kids are expected to reach the epitome of success in their lives. They have to face so much pressure, that they eventually succumb to this pressure. This leads to various mental illnesses like depression, inferiority complex and so on. And what happens when you talk to your parents or anyone else the about it? They say ‘I’ve also been through this stage. It is nothing.’. The truth is that they have not been through this stage and it is not nothing. Today we have so much competition and additional pressure to succeed. It is bound to drive people crazy. 

In school we are taught how to get a job. But no one teaches us how to live in state of happiness. Is our happiness not worth more than a job? Yes, it is. And before you say happiness won’t pay my bill, It will. Because when you are happy, you will work 10 times as hard, ten times as focused, that success would be just around the corner.

I want you to know that, no matter where you are in life… No matter how low you have sunk… No matter how bleak your situation… This is NOT THE END.
This is not the end of your story
This is not the final chapter of your life.
I know it may be hard right now
But if you just hang in there
Stick it out
Stay with me for a little while…
You will find, that this tough moment will pass, and, use this pain, use it to build your character, and you will find a greater meaning in life, you will find that, in time, you can turn your life around, and help others going through the same struggles.


Depression is not a phase. Mental health is not a joke. And this... this is not the end.

I Smiled..

I didn't cry. I smiled. When i was bullied for being different. I didn't cry. I smiled. When i was teased for being fat. I didn't cry. I smiled. When nobody talked to me because i was weird. I didn't cry. I smiled. When in isolation and surrounded by hate. I didn't cry. I smiled. When the one whom i love wanted someone else. I didn't cry. I smiled. When i left all the people i care about behind. I didn't cry. I smiled. When it felt like the whole world was against me. I didn't cry. I smiled. Because to the world i was the boy who always smiled. Nobody knows the sorrows behind this glee. Nobody. Nobody but me.. ~A.F~

Her

It's been four years... Four years of sadness and unhappiness. F our years.. since the ray of happiness in my life has vanished . Four years since i lost myself forever. But even today when i think of her, a smile forges on my face like a new sword from steel. Huge waves of sadness and desperation follow that smile.  I could've saved her. I could have interceded the disaster that  occurred . But i didn't. I would give anything to see that smile of hers again. Oh! her beautiful smile. I miss her... I miss her warm hugs and her strong love. A world without her is not worth living in.  The thought of her not being here rips the veins out of my body.  I feel a rope around my neck waiting to kill me. Now i know how she felt in her last moments.... ~A.F~

Hope

‘Tongues tied. Dreams die. We all lose our way. We have fears. We shed tears and we carry our mistakes.” That is the reality of life. It isn’t easy. And it sure as hell isn’t as peachy as they show it in the movies. More often than not our wishes fail us. And then we regret. We regret not putting enough effort. Or we regret putting too much effort. You get the point. We all, at some point or the other in our lives, have hoped for someone. I did too. But more often than not, life does not turn up the way you want it to and you end up regretting something or the other. That is what hope does to us. Hope is a very risky thing. It can ruin you. Or it could turn your life around. The real question is, ‘Is that ‘someone’ important enough to risk everything?’ If yes, then go for it. If no, then just admit that, ‘You and I are just another story waiting to happen. But didn’t. Because for us, there was no hope for a paradise.’ ~A.F~
