I sincerely wish that this story can inspire many, & the inspired many will continue to inspire others, & the cycle can just continue on. Alright, enough with the emotional rubbish, it's time to begin the story!
*WARNING: This story is written in a very unique style, conceived by your one & only Gossip J. It will be highly unconventional, & not in any way similar to any old story like well, any old story. Hehh.
It all began on a wintry Christmas Eve..
Cassandra was all alone, in her cottage, staring at the fire consume up the logs. Listening to the crackling of the logs, Cassandra looked peaceful. Almost in a zen state of rest.
*Two days prior to this*
Stacy, Cassandra's best friend: Cassandra, you are such a disappointment. How can you forget to order the turkey, we do it every year. What is the meaning of this?
Cassandra: I..
*tears well up in her eyes*
Stacy: That's it, I'm done spending Christmas with you every year. I'm going to go to Jennifer's party, it's probably more fun with her, Leighton & the rest anyway! I wonder why I waste my Christmas every year with such a dowdy person like you! I hate you!
*Stacy storms off*
*Cassandra is left crying solemnly, trudging through the snow back to her cottage, alone.*
Cassandra, from young, had only one friend. & that was Stacy, who ceased to be her friend just because she forgot to buy Stacy her favourite turkey - Which Cassandra didn't really like. Stacy was only friends with Cassandra because she lived alone, which allowed Stacy to be as wild as she liked & have a place to return to to smoke in, engage in underage drinking & occasionally bring a boyfriend home. Just manipulating Cassandra for her own needs. & Cassandra, in desperate need of a companion, blindly allowed Stacy to do as she wished, just because Stacy was the only who bothered to talk to her.
& now? Even Stacy doesn't talk to her any more. It almost was as if Cassandra had lost all meaning to life. She was preparing to commit suicide soon, just waiting for Christmas, her favourite time of the year to be over. She didn't want to despoil the favourite time of the year with her death, so she chose to wait.
So, on Christmas Eve, she decided, since Stacy wasn't there, she tried to enjoy it all by herself. Since it was probably the last few days of her life, she thought that she might as well enjoy it. Little did she know what would happen, that changed her life forever..
*Cassandra is sitting by the fire, listening to the crackling of the burning logs at her fireplace*
*a knock is heard on the door*
Cassandra thinking: Must be Stacy returning to collect her stuff. Sigh.
*Cassandra gets up to open the door*
*Cassandra opens the door*
*a loud pop is heard*
Bunch of Cassandra's classmates: MERRY CHRISTMAS CASSANDRA!
Cassandra, so touched that she was almost in tears: Oh.. Thank you.. Please come in & have some tea?
Classmates: Sure! We'd love to! & we finally get to talk to you! We were wondering how to approach you, & now, Christmas has allowed us to get together! We are so gonna be friends from now on! Oh yeah, screw that Stacy, she got arrested at that party & yeah, she's gonna be in rehab for a LONG time! You are free from that manipulative girl now Cassandra! It's like your best Christmas gift ever! Oh, & we all got presents for you! Hope you like them!
*at this point of time, Cassandra is so touched she's basically just murmuring thank you's & crying tears of joy*
*everyone converges & group hugs*
So, how does this make it such that mind is over emotions? Well, let me explain. You see, Cassandra was suicidal remember? But, she tried to enjoy herself, even if she wanted to kill herself off after a few days of fun.. But look at what her few days of fun morphed into!
I know this is a really bad example to show off what I'm trying to put across. Let me state it clearly now. You can be at your lowest point, depressed beyond a doubt. Undoubtedly, you will be really depressed, sad, & possibly even suicidal. Heck, even I get sad! It's only human!
& what can we do when we're sad? Try to be happy. It's really tough, I know. It's okay to feel depressed, to feel sad, to feel down, horrible et cetera. It's a Herculean task to feel better during these times. But what else can we do other than try? & if the going gets really tough, confide in a trustworthy friend! Getting all the things off your chest can help too!
This is a shoutout to all sad/depressed people reading this post: Have faith, stay happy, it's tough, I know, but remember, I'll always cheer you guys on, even if I don't know you. I'll stay blogging, & hopefully my posts can inspire y'all & help y'all feel better, even if it's that tiny bit. Constant vigilance okay! & if there's anything y'all might want to get advice on..
