Serenity Prayer

Song in my head : I'll Be Okay (Amanda Marshall)

Ever felt that your life is so messed up that nothing's ever worthwhile anymore? It feels like this nowadays. Drowning in this heavy depressing feeling that you don't want to surface from. I believe that I am slowly turning into someone that I will not be able to recognise if this goes on. Question is, do I want to continue like this? or should I stand up again? At this moment, I just wish that the whole world would not bother me, and just let me be. I want to be anti-social, I want to be depressed. I want in the utmost sense to stop being the strong one, and just crash and burn. Why is that unacceptable for me??

My current prayer to God is the serenity prayer. Ever read it? Heard about it? It's beautiful.

"God, grant me the serenity to accept things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can and the wisdom to know the difference."

Short and simple yet beautiful. Perhaps, after all, I will be okay, as Amanda Marshall sings of it.

Hey Joyce ... Don't feel so depressed ... I think I know what you're going through coz I've gone through it as well ... Maybe it's homesickness ... Nowadays I just keep thinking about home ... already start packing y'know ... Why don't we plan to go back together? If all goes well, money-wise, I think I'll be going back the whole month of February next year ... Hang in there okay ... email me if you need a shoulder to cry on ... Julia
