You can’t just sit around and expect things to just happen for you. If there’s something you want, work for it in any way that you can. Things will eventually fall into place very precisely because both effort and focus were put into it. Even getting yourself out of something as damaging as depression is possible if you do what you can to change it; things you love, standing up for what you know is right, going on adventures, gardening, traveling, cooking, collecting, keeping a journal, writing music, drawing, painting, web designing, water rafting, staring at the stars, going to the beach… there are an infinite amount of activities and potential passions available to us if we choose to recognize those things and act on them. The only person that will ever limit what you do is yourself. You can sit around putting the blame on outward circumstances all you want, but I guarantee that it will get you nowhere because your life is your responsibility. It is your choice where you go in life and what you do.

I post this as a reminder…by the way if you interested, check out likethesun blog. The girl who maintains it has an incredible way of thinking/seeing things. It’s one of my favorites.
