My dear one,
You are 16.
You are just beginning your life and at 16, the world CAN seem hopeless, dark, unfriendly, and contradictory. You have no energy because your heart is worn down with hopelessness. Your passions have been dulled. You have isolated yourself Inside because your eyes perceive the Outside offers you nothing of substance.
And yet, you care. You care enough about yourself to share your miseries.
You know something? We’ve ALL been there. Yes, we have.
Some in their teens. Some in their 20s. Others in their 30s. Many in their 40s and 50s. This is all normal. Each stage of life has troubles. But it also had a profound amount of joys!
Do you WANT to get out of this dreadful slump? Or Have you befriended it to the point that its become more comfortable than the effort to resist it?

If you want to win this war against depression, you will have to dress in your battle gear. It will take work in small steps.
The first step, is to step outside. Walk for 30 minutes and consciously L👀k for Beautiful things, even the smallest things. Take a few moments and study what catches your fancy. Then Listen. Listen for natures voices; birds, bees, flies, cats, dogs, the wind sounds. Look up at the sky. If its a sunny day, look at shadows and the shapes. If its cloudy, look at the different hues and cloud formations.
When youre done outside, go back inside and put on some classical music and write what you are grateful for…whatever comes into your mind.
This will become your Blessing Book.
If you have a Bible, go to Proverbs.
Get a notebook and a nice pen and start with Proverbs 1 and write it out.
Use a calligraphy pen and focus on making the words beautiful. Listen to the words as you write. Think on them. Make this book a work of beauty.
Write an entire Proverb a day. There are 31.
Start with the Blessing Book and the Proverbs Book.
This will give your mind and heart a fresh redirection.
Let us know how this works for you.
You’ve got this!
Yes, you do.
Your writing articulates you do.
“Seize the day” because Tomorrow is promised to no one.
Blessings to you sweet one. 🌺🌷🌸❤️
