Humans adapt ... yet, we are creatures of habit.
When conditions are rough, we get used to it.
When things become dirty, we become accustomed to it.
If we stay home on the couch a lot, we get comfortable there.
Humans adapt very well ... that can be good at times, and not so good at times.
I have forced myself back into the productive routines us North Americans do ... the rat race.
I am a cog in the machine of society and I have my place.
We owe it to ourselves to not let depression beat us. We owe it to ourselves to fight and work and crawl back to a life we deserve. We cannot just lay down and let the black dog win.
During my depression I reminded myself that the darkness was temporary, and it was.
It may return next year, or perhaps the year after ... and I hope I will be again strong enough to win that battle as well, but for now I am proud to be back on my feet, back in the game and living again.
