Our Struggles

Each person is so different from the other, even though we share certain similarities. Each person has his/her own struggle, no matter how big or small the individual is. We all have targets and milestones in our lives and achieving the goals and getting to the mile stone has to be a challenge otherwise it wouldn't have been a worthwhile target.

 For some persons suffering from depression that target may be getting out of bed each morning and doing simple tasks like taking a shower and getting out the house. For many persons these tasks aren't targets and just form a natural part of their day. For some persons, eating healthy is a big target, and to this end, losing weight may be the end goal. For another set of persons, buying things like houses and cars are their targets and problems surrounding the monetary aspect of these dreams plague their thoughts. For some persons, simply following a routine is a struggle and therefore all the above mentioned targets become more difficult because of a simple inability to stick to a routine.

We grow up following routines. We wake up, shower, go to school, play with friends, return home, study, watch tv, sleep. That was my routine for most of my childhood. It was supposed to get me ready for the routines I would need to succeed in adulthood, but I broke away from this tiring routine during university and it's been the hardest thing to revert to it. Even while working this routine was hard. My body hates waking up early and hates being put to sleep before it's naturally ready to sleep.
