I was asked this - "Look in a mirror. What do you see?" And you know what? I looked into that miorror and I said somnething from my heart. I wasn't thinking about my words or my sentences. I was thinking of the truth. The truth which I am sure is the answer. I said:
"...A monster, if i'm honest. But also a person. A person who is doing his best to run a campaign to create a massive awareness on depression, a campaign which he fears is failing. Any help is needed. But i'll tell you something else, I see a person who WILL NOT STOP WITH THIS CAMPAIGN. I'll keep it going, i'll keep it alive. I'll keep the fight going. I'll make sure my message gets across. I will not stop until I am successful. I am a winner. Not a loser. If i ahve to be a loner in this campaign, then a loner i will be. But i can make sure i look in that mirror in the future and see a successful man. A man who has won, a man who has suffered defeat and suffered losses. A man who can be an inspiration to all generations..."
Yes, it may sound heroic, yes it may sound stupid. But that IS the truth. That is the truth for me and for many other people on this world. I am telling you now, that I will achieve this. I will never back down. Ever. The only time when I will back down will be the day I put depression in the history books. The day when I finally win. Like I said, if I have to do it alone, then so be it. I will do it on my own. But I can say this from my heart honestly, there are so many people out there doing their part. So many people doing it because they were and maybe still are sufferers, in memory of someone or because they realise that depression is a growing problem.
I am doing it because I am a sufferer. And because I had taken it to the extreme. And because I have faith in what I am doing. I also want to take part of that burden too. To work towards happiness, towards a new world. Whether you're with me or not. I will do it.
