More Than A Year Has Passed
In my last post I was optimistic. I was saying how I would start anew and write more blog posts, how I was ready- but the truth was that that was a lie. A lie or a more so a hopeful truth. I though I was ready. However there is one thing that I was not truthful about or straightforward is a better term. That thing , entity, being - whatever you want to call it - is and at that time was depression.
Depression took many things away from me at its strongest stage- one was the ability to read. Reading was a way to get away from the stress in life. To be more specific, I could not concentrate on two or three minutes of reading let alone a book that could possibly have upwards of 500 pages. With the loss of concentration came the loss of the love of reading that I’ve had since I can remember.
From September 2018 to March 2018 I barely had any energy to get out of bed and go to school let alone focus my energy on reading. That said my depression has been better these days and I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel like a new person and am feeling more optimistic than in the past year or so.
I’m reading The Games of Thrones ( Book 1 of A Song of Ice and Fire) and enjoying it immensely. For now I’m getting ready for my last year of my bachelor’s degree - ( 5 years due to deciding on doing an Econ minor) and relaxing until the first day of school. Then it’ll be go go go.
Until next time!
