WHEN WE SLEEP...

Life is fleeting, woven with stories of struggle and triumph, A dance between dreams fulfilled and hope that whispers of a brighter tomorrow. We journey to shape a better world for ourselves, for friends, for family, Driven by the quiet belief that someday, all our striving will bear fruit. At times, we question the path — why we live only to fade — But such answers lie beyond our reach, written by hands far greater than ours. The world spins on, a balance of light and shadow, Each soul leaving its mark upon the earth, like footprints upon shifting sands.

Fighting Depression??

-
 Depression according to dictionary definition is a feeling of severe despondency and dejection. At this state of mind, self doubt and regrets creeps in to alter the order of thoughts. This could lead to a highly vulnerable state of mind where any irrational submission can be admitted since escape from reality is often what is sought for. People facing depression sometimes speak out in  riddles while some keep to themselves which sometimes leads to suicide. Mental health is one neglected aspect of life especially in Africa, many victims of depression may look normal and sane but will exhibit the characteristics of depression if watched closely. This implies family and friends need to be observant and  check on people they notice any form of withdrawal from.  The first step of coming out of depression is speaking out and assessing the situation at hand. Don't dwell too long on issues you cannot change and make moves for the situation you can change. Always find a reas...
