DEAREST DEPRESSION

My favorite post. I decided to repost because it inspires me so much. I hope it inspires you too.

Depression you have been a constant friend, always around, so I write you this letter. Like a cloud hovering in my mind, you descend once in while and becloud my joy. You magnify my fears and doubts, and make me lose confidence in myself. My self-worth slaughtered in you altar of sadness.
But when I am in your state you inspire in me to write sweet literature, prose, poems and plays. So I feed you to my creative imagination, and it turns out something good and I am satisfied. So I defeat you, I use you for good. The dense cloud is lifted by the rays of my creative writing.
So you are not all bad. You are my muse. I have discovered how to use you for pecuniary gains. So in my journal named after you “depression diary”. I go to you when you land on my soul, and fight a battle with you with words and I win.
I confide in you, let you know my thoughts, tell you know my fears. In turn, my words give me strength. So when I read you, I see the weakness and see the solution. I expel you on paper, and you leave my soul free.
Then the beauty on your pages is everlasting. It is a sweet cure when you set in and words can’t come out. I read you and I am healed. I learnt from a wise man that anything can be good or bad. It depends on your views. People view you as a bad thing.
But I see you as something that comes like the wind, I see you as good. Turn you to good, change you to good, your complications are broken simple. I conquer you each time you show your ugly (fugly) face. Dearest depression, you don’t set me down no more, I turn you to joy. I rise above your dark clouds.

Yours truly,
Your Buddy.

LETTER TO MY FIANCÉ

My dear fiancé,

In the near future, I would take you to the altar. You would be my wife, and I would be your husband. This journey is forever till death do us part. People have their conceptions about love, I want to share mine with you. It would aid us in this wonderful journey.

Love is a story. A story has five main elements, and they are viz: a plot, characters, conflict, setting, and theme. Love has these elements too.

The two of us, plus God are the major characters in our love story - the protagonists of the story. We determine if it is a happily-ever after story or happily-never after story. There are other characters, family, friends, etc, their role in the marriage should be limited. we shouldn't allow the bad ones, the antagonists, encroach into our lives and destroy the love we have.

The plot of our love story, describes how we live our lives, what happens to us and the meaning of events. In life different events occur, that may threaten our bond, e.g. tragedies, misunderstandings, sickness, etc. When bad times come we should know it is for better for worse, in sickness and health. We have to believe in ourselves.

With plot comes conflict. They may be physical, emotional, or ethical, that may create some tension, we have to resolve this together, marriage is a road, filled with bumps, potholes and ditches. We have to careful navigate ourselves out of the storms of life, and come out together, whole.

The setting is the immediate environment and time we find ourselves, the world we live in. the internal and external environment has its strain on marriage, e.g. divorce is the order of the day, it is easy to take the easy way out when things are difficult, but we should work through our difficulties.

The theme is the major idea of the story, our theme is God, because God is love, he gives the marriage length and our love breath. He teaches us the way to love, we make God the driver and he leads us. We run to him in all difficulties. If we follow the way he says we should go,our love would last.

Hugs and kisses. Love you to pieces.

Your husband.
