Finding Myself.
Submitted by: Esther
Brooklyn, NYA person who was extremely depressed with life, learning to change her thoughts, having hope, and find inner happiness within herself.
I’m a 19 year old girl, I have been pretty depressed growing up. It’s scary how the human mind can make yourself believe in thoughts that eventually becomes real in your head. Every thing you think of comes true.
I was the type of person to be so down all the time and have no logical reason for that. Mostly based on my insecurities, I never believed when a person would compliment me, I’m a pretty girl. I know that for sure now, but before I NEVER believed in that. I was probably the most low self esteem person in the world.
The feeling I had was natural, and it would come to me as if its normal. Why did I feel so negative? Why am I not happy? Nor satisfied? I don’t know. It was so hard to think positive when your not happy. How can a person pretend to be the opposite of what they truly are?
My sister told me about The Secret about 3 years ago. When I saw the DVD I instantly felt butterflies and it was as if the world was being reborn. Then I stopped. Things got bad and I bought The Magic book.
I mostly started to be more grateful and appreciate all the small things. I stopped reading The Magic. I started to mostly read stories on this website and I am now understanding the meaning of it all.
I understand the whole purpose of the books and it makes sense. I am still learning in the process and finding myself. It’s never easy! The road will always be bumpy but once you set your mind on it, you will get there.
