cjknc depressed
the name says it all
How I did it: By listening to self instead of others,because if you can
not learn how to value yourself how can you expect
others to,I listened to long to people with negative
opinions and decided that I had come to a crossroad in my life - I could either go their way and let myself be dragged down to that level where I moaned and groaned about everything or I could look at both life and my own positives and see where that brought me.I chose the latter and am thankful I did
Lessons & tips: as above

Keri vorpahl great, couldn't be better
I am so happy…i cant explain this feeling…but it comes from deep down inside. This new person has emerged from within me. I am confident, hopeful, genuinely really happy and optimistic. I used to be so broken and i thought i was incapable of being loved. But i came to a realization. I never listened and trusted in god. I said i believed in god…but i was a fake christian. i went to church but i didn’t participate…i didn’t open up and i didn’t allow myself to feel the grace of god. These past teenage years of my life i have just become more and more disappointed. People who i trusted let me down, guys who i gave my heart handed it back in pieces, and i just felt so hurt. So unwanted, abandoned, unloved,and broken. I was miserable….but i have figured it out. I cried out for gods help and it seemed like he wasn’t listening. Now i know he was…and he was there. I tried doing things my way. I saw a great guy and i went after him and i got hurt. I realized now…we have to do things gods way. If we don’t we just get so hurt and broken. We have to be patient and ask god what his will is for us. If you see a potential guy/ girl you like. Ask god ” is it in your will for me to date this guy”. It may sound crazy but that is what i did. I opened up and i trusted god…i asked him to lead me because my way was just leaving me more broken. God put people in my life. He put an amazing guy in my life and now everything seems to make sense and for the first time in my life i am happy. Genuine….i mean real happy…not the fake smiles…i just wanted to share this with people…because the way i feel now…is so incredible….Thank you so much god!
Happiness is a complex word, but I’ll try to be brief in defining it for myself. What I seek is less stress in my life, finding a balance in what I need to do and what I want to do, being a better wife to my husband, developing a closer relationship with God, and learning to be happy with who I am (we are all a work in progress). I want purpose. I want drive. I want experiences. I want close friendships. I want peace of mind. I want to stop dreaming and start achieving! I want “someday” to start TODAY!
I WANT TO BE HAPPY.
