Hopelesness is what I have the most now. To be honest I have no idea what to do at this point. You see, I am the kind of folk who finds it impossible to forgive himself. As of today, I will try to keep my mind busy. Nonetheless, there are emotional scars I have inside me that are unlikely to ever heal.
Many tell me I should play my part, try harder, etc. Even so, my inner fears prevent me from moving on in life. I have been squirming out of my problems for a long time now. Not to mention that my mind has been clouded by hatred towards the ones who hurt me in the past. Have I always been scared of taking chances so as to see a big change in my life. Many times have I tried to pull through my depression on my own. Still and all, at this point in my life I would rather resume my visits to the shrink.
Irrespective of what people may say about me venting my problems on the Internet, I feel comfortable doing it. Is it not been easy to break loose from my kin´s control. Be that as it may, I should start walking the walk instead of talking the talk. It sickens me to think about all the mistakes I have made. Nonetheless, I still believe that regardless of all the misfortunes I may have run into, I still can make something out of myself. In addition to the aforesaid difficulties, the amount of misgivings I have had before deciding anything important in the past few years, have been countless.
Lastly, I am going to share a short video about how we can overcome our fears. For instance, in my case, being circumscribed by my family´s overprotection has made me believe things that are not true about myself. Thus, the need for a massive change in my existence. Have I been building castles in the sky for so long, that it is not even funny anymore. Hence, whether or not I eschew my responsibilities even more is up to me. To wrap this up, I would like to add in the following quote: ¨ A great nation is like a great man: when he makes a mistake, he realizes it. Having realized it, he admits it. Having admitted it, he corrects it. He considers those who point out his faults as his most benevolent teachers¨. (Lao Tzu)

If you stumble upon a rock and bruise your knee, ice it yourself; most people will not care. Unfortunately, that is the way the world works. No matter how many motivational speeches or self-help books you watch or read. This world is a tough place to live in. Thus, if you do not take your chances, you are no one. Irrespective of what I have gone through, I do not consider myself to be a basket case. Nonetheless, am I going to have to max out my skills so as to get at least one chance to succeed. Anyhow, without any more preamble, am I going to start with today´s topic.
Ever since I started writing, only one friend has commented on my blog so far. It is incredible how you feel you can trust only a few. You see, in order for me to stay in task, do I need motivation. Something I cannot get on a daily basis unfortunately. Besides, success works in conjunction with mental health. Hence, my occasional visits to the therapist so as to keep on the right track. Is it indeed impossible explicate a perfect state of happiness. Be that as it may, I personally believe that if you end up doing what you like for a living, things pick up eventually. Consequently, the need for parents and educators to incentivize their children to like a subject in particular.
I have always loved English for instance. Even so, I did not get to have good English teachers. Not to mention that I did not know why I had to study it that much. My family told me I had to learn it as an order. Albeit, they did not tell me why. You see, you must encourage children to like a subject. Otherwise they will not learn it properly. You cannot force a child to learn something if they have no idea why. Therein lies the failure of my next of kin. Regardless of the fact that I did get to learn English, I did it hard way. Do I get anything now by blaming my selfish relatives though?. No, I just have to go jogging or whatnot so as to liberate myself from stress.
My point is, you cannot let anything keep you down. You must find ways to get your confidence up no matter what. By no means should you let depression creep in any time you feel weak. What is more by veering off negative thoughts, you are making progress. Try for instance to shift your attention to a task you have to do or find something interesting to work on. Lastly, I would say that we must get used to standing up for ourselves. Not always will we have a friend to bail us out each time we encounter a bully who gives us a shabby treatment.

Things are picking up now. Nonetheless, still do I worry about my English becoming rusty due to lack of practice. In my defence, I could say that at least now I am not delaying in doing what I believe to be right. Today I am going to talk about being manipulated by others. Especially your family. Something that has happened to me ever since I can remember and am trying to change.
Families are almost never the ones indicated so as to confer important information with about your future decisions. If I have seen the film ¨The dead poets´ society¨ you know what I mean. The poor boy ended up killing himself because his dad was a selfish bastard. Sometimes families can be that way. Either owing to ignorance or stubbornness. Whatever the reason may be, in most cases inconsiderate families can go as far as to crumbling their offspring future. These unfortunate situations take place especially in third world nations, where education is commercialized in a nasty manner. For instance, most private colleges in Lima, new ones in particular, do as follows: They usually send one or two representatives to most of the high schools in their area so as to get applicants. Once they have got the attention of their parents, they let the fish enter the net.
Thus, we have got two major problems in countries such as this. For starters, we have got the worst educational system in South America, Not to mention, irresponsible parents. Does the local government give a darn? No, it does not. Still and all, there is a few youngsters who actually make their own decisions for a change. Yet, pressuring unwary teenagers into rushing them into decisions they may regret later is wrong. Many people ride over their children´s lifes owing to the fact that they were only thinking about themselves. Not only is it our responsibility to help our future generations whittle down their fears. What is more, we must assist them instead of holding them back in their career choice path.
In review, I must say that irrespective of our beliefs, we should nurse our children only so far. The more independence we give them the better. Thus, the need for us to educate ourselves as much as possible not to make the same mistakes our parents made when they had us. The bible says: ¨We are pressed on every side by difficulties, but we are not crushed¨. Truth be told though, I am not entirely sure about the credibility of the aforesaid phrase. Remember that our insecurity signals failure most of the time. Do not transmit fear into your child´s mind. In lieu of that, help them build on their strenghts.
