It's Never Too Late to Make a Change

At any time, you can decide to
change the road you're on in life, take
a new direction, follow a new trail. You
are the only one who really knows what
you want from life and if you're on the
right road for you. You are the only one
who can fulfill your dreams and receive
the joys and happiness that come from
reaching those aspirations and goals.
Don't expect others to be responsible
for your happiness and success. You
must take control and be in-charge of
your destiny and day-to-day situations.
Take advice (most of the time it's free!)
and listen to what others have to say and
what concerns they have; it's important
to have different points of view. But
always validate those words of wisdom
with your own set of standards and make
sure that the advice has meaning to your
sense of reality.

Yes, I'm Depressed

Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines a depressed person as experiencing feelings of sadness, helplessness and hopelessness. In traditional colloquy, feeling "depressed" is often synonymous with feeling "sad", but both clinical depression and non-clinical depression can also refer to a conglomeration of more than one feeling. --Wikipedia

"Persistent sadness, the feeling of being "empty", and anxious." That is my feeling now.

I just want to cry the whole day. I miss something that I want to see. But I've lost the chance. I'm just hoping there will be another chance.

Last night, I wished that I will forget that "thing" and all the memories with it. But unfortunately, it didn't happen. I wish I'll be better someday. and I wish that something will change just for me...

But it will never happen... :(
