Depression

Ever been depressed?

I'm sure you have, certainly all manners of people have been depressed at some point in their lives. I'm not so much depressed right now as I am angry, angry that the obligations of life outweight my enjoyment of it. Let me set the stage for you, I go to school full time throughout the week and I work Fridays and Saturdays until 3AM at a bar called Cowboy's Ranch here in London.

Such a schedule leaves me with no 'party nights'. Meaning I have no evenings free in which I can drink my face off without the reprecussions of responsibility draining my happiness. I find myself faced with great effort if I want to continue this lifestyle; my neglected social life most likely cannot survive.

I'm frustrated especially with people who seem to coast through life without a care in the world. Welfare people; there are so many of them here in London that it's astonishing. I'd never seen so many lazy people in my life before moving here. I hate this city; wish I was back in Calgary...

I know how you feel, Kris...my once busy and fun social life has turned a bit boring since I only have time for the obligations in life, such as school. You just have to remember that this won't last forever. You won't be in school forever and you will have your life back in a year or two. You can afford an even better social life, once you do the things that you want to do. That's what I think, at least.

And, there are plenty of people who coast by in the States as well. Not even referring to Welfare people, but just people I go to school with, who are extremely lazy.

Just keep it in mind: "It won't last forever." When you accomplish your goals, you can be happy in that, and in being able to drink yourself silly night after night.
