What do you do when you miss a loved one ? What do you do when you sorrowfully remember the death of a loved one and wish you can bring them back?

What can you do, when it is the time you need someone the most but they are not there for you? What do you do when painful thoughts cause you to cry or make you sick? What do you do when you feel like you don't know what to do?

Tough times never last but tough people do. If you have never lost a loved one or have a loved one walk away from you, you probably don't understand pain. It is never anyone's desire to experience pain but life is full of bitter and sweet experiences, thorns and roses too. A lot of thoughts run through the minds of those battling pain.

What about depression? A lot of people battle with depression and daily some of these people lose the fight. Suicide stories everywhere.

Have we ever wondered what goes on in the heart of people battling with depression? There is probably a that constant thought that keeps saying "you can't be good enough", " things can't get better", "you are not going to get what you desire", " you are not going to be happy"... Where does that constant thought come from? Why can't other people see it hear it until it is too late?

More people will probably commit sucide, more people will die. Before you castigate me for saying this, when was the last time you did something selfless? When was the last time you did something genuinely because of others and not because you secretly have something to gain? When was the last time you reached out to your neighbour, give out food or love? When was the last time you checked to see if your friend is truly fine and not just answering "fine" casually?

There are unfufilled dreams, sad days, sleepless nights and unexpected outcomes. Pain and depression creeps in on us, no one ever invites them, no one prepares for them, they just sometimes happen.

We will be fine only when we realise that there are people happy to see or hear from us, people rooting for us anyday, people who don't care if things go wrong or if we make terrible mistakes, people who look beyond the physical to see our true inner soul, people who will never leave us, no matter what happens. Can we have more of such people?
