Beatitude Destitute Some people have a legitimate reason to feel depressed, but not me. Too many times in my life, I wake up feeling sad for no reason. “It’s wrong to feel sad without a proper excuse,” I cry to myself. Yes, I really do cry. I cry a great deal, and for no reason at all! None! It would be more pleasurably indulgent if I had a way to rationalize it - like listening to sad music and imagining myself as the protagonist in a movie. I suffer from a devilish friendship with Hypophrenia. He is very tricky. He proves to me that I’m sad but he doesn’t give me a reason to be sad. He pressures me to own the depression but then robs me of my right to feel self pity, the only redeeming part of sadness. I have moments where I think there’s …show more content…

It would involve epiphanies about realizing my true self, overcoming my demons, and living my life in pleasure. However, my life isn’t a film, at least not yet. After high-school, I decided that I was no longer going to let my emotions wear on my sleeve. I was no longer going to post dark emo statuses on Facebook. I no longer wanted to use all the bad conflicts and abuse in my life to find justification. I no longer wanted to injure myself to prove that I’m damaged. I would copy a cute smile, paste it on my face, and act pleasant even if my inner emotions contradicted it. Perhaps then others view of me would change although it wouldn’t change for me. I certainly have not always been the person I seem to be today. Directly out of high-school, I found the man of my dreams. First came the man, then came the marriage and then came the baby in the baby carriage. “I am going to be happy, finally!” Boy was that a thought! Maybe I kissed under the wrong tree. My error was thinking somewhere else, something else, and someone else could fix me and deliver me from the fateful hands of my bad company. This company should be caged like dementors, because as soon as they find me, the inner happiness inside me sinks. Even my Goosebumps get Goosebumps. I’ll introduce you to more of these guys …show more content…

So as many reasons there are for hopelessness, there are equally enough reasons for hopefulness. Fiends are balanced with friends. I have a few friends on my path that help me. One beautiful one is Meraki, she does everything with soul and love and always with something in herself to put to her work. I’ll soon meet up with sophrosyne, who is also beautiful and attractive. She’s characterized by self control, moderation, and deep awareness of one’s true self. Her characteristics definitely result in true success and happiness. If society’s definition of success doesn’t find me or won’t wait up for me, that’s fine. I’ll go ahead without it. Dreams only work if I do. Light will conquer

    Many members of our society have sculpted their listeners into fooling their selves into believing that there are only two types of “happy”, happy or depressed. This leads to individuals suppressing their problems or believing they are suffering from a chronic illness when sadness is just a natural emotion that a person faces throughout their lifetime. Begley mimics “get over it: take a pill” (558). When living in a world where not being “happy” can provoke your friends and family to encourage drug use or choose to decline spending time with you until you are “happy again may cause many people to not even tell someone they are having problems which can result in the sadness to increase. It is soothing to know not all experts would say you are sick and need help just for an ordinary feeling. A lay reader that has no idea of what most psychologist feels about the evading happiness situation, may have thought all professionals insist on everyone being happy even when they have no desire

  • Poverty Essay

    1209 Words  | 3 Pages

    What does it mean for someone to be on the lines of poverty or living in poverty? What is this word that is falsely used and missed analyzed? Poverty is the state of being extremely poor or being inferior in quality or insufficient in amount. In 2010, 16.4 million children, or 22.0 percent, were poor in the United States alone. (Tanner, 2014) The poverty rate for children also varies substantially by race and origin. If the rate of poverty continues to rise, will there be any hope left in humanity? The real question is not what is poverty but why is there so many people living in it. The ideal job of the government (federal and state) is to create a better/safer environment for the people. The model the “government” campaign is that everything they do is for the “benefit” of the people. When does the word “benefit” come into play when twenty-two percent of the population cannot supply a place for their children to sleep, put food on the table, and get a job that pays well enough to support their family. Are there any real benefits knowing families living in poverty have only one percent of a chance of getting out? Who is to blame? Where and how did this problem all start? What is this so called “government” doing to help stop the increasing rate of poverty? As you read this essay, it will explain what it means to be truly poor and why the government does so little to help. Include real stories from people living in poverty, what the government is doing to help (and if it’s enough), and is the problem of poverty becoming worst or slowly rising to become better.

    After having a self-reflection of myself I realized that I wanted to be distinctive, I wanted to reconstruct the way I was living. I was tired of just the same repetitive schedule that I followed in high school. I would get up at six twenty in the morning which was the perfectly set time that I determined was necessary to complete my morning routine. I would then head to school which I went through the same repetitive schedule as the previous day. Then I would travel back home consume whatever was prepared by my mother, play some videogames for hours then tend to my my homework and finally head to bed to repeat another average day.

  • Lesson Learned

    There are so many events that change one’s life that it is rather difficult to try and decipher which of those events are most important. Each event changes a different aspect of your life, molding how one’s personality turns out. One of these events occurred when I was about twelve years old and I attempted to steal from a Six Flags amusement park. My reasoning for stealing wasn’t that I didn’t have the money, or even that I wanted what I stole all that badly, it was that all of my friends had stolen something earlier that day and didn’t get caught. After getting caught I resolved, because the consequences are just not worth it, never to steal or give into peer pressure again.

  • Reflection Of My Life

    1014 Words  | 3 Pages

    To be the person that I am now, I had to reflect and accept accountability of my past actions. My past is one that many would love to erase from their memory, a past, which remained dormant, until I found myself. The steps involved in regaining myself encompassed letting go of my anger and self pity. I had to look within myself and see my self’s worth, which lead to my belief that I ran away to college to forget my past. During the years leading to entrance to college, I became caught up with friends, cared way too much about my appearance, and became “that girl” who needed others to be happy. I lost sight of my goal, to become a lawyer. My goals were buried by my present materialization infatuation, thus my dreams, and my values, failed just to create a façade of which I came to despise. Through my journey and reflection, I came to appreciate family values and redemption. Like others, my trials and tribulations came full circle.
