I’m starting to realize the truth of the universe and karma.  
Karma is given to you daily, and no it’s not a bad thing.  
It’s lessons, it’s all a lesson.  
If you hurt someone then you too will be hurt in that way by someone else.  
This is because you have to learn from experience.  
Humans learn from experience.  
As much as experience hurts, it teaches you how to better yourself tomorrow.  
Depression is the biggest lesson I’ve learned in my life thus far.  
You don’t realize the amount of hurt that you can inflict on someone by doing nothing.  
That’s the problem with depression, you settle.  
You settle with the heart ache.  
You settle on just giving up.
You lose friendships and love,
But you just don’t care.  
You lose yourself,
And eventually you stop looking for her.  
But depression doesn’t last,
Nothing in this world does.  
And that’s the beauty of it all.
You cannot have peace without first knowing what hell is like.  
You would not appreciate the joys of peace,
If you have never known the sorrows of hell.
You cannot love someone fully,
Without knowing what it’s like to not feel love at all.
You wouldn’t know whether the love were pure or not.  
You cannot move on and change and grow,
If you have always been stagnent.
You would not appreciate the beauty of life.  
We are human, yes we make mistakes..
but those mistakes are for reasons.  
Look at those who wrong you and just give them love,
Because you’re already at an advantage being the victim.  
Having wrong done to you, teaches you how it feels.
When something hurts you, You don’t do that thing to another.
You learn to love from the pain.  
Look at those who wrong you and just give them peace,
Know that they are coming from a broken place and screaming for help.  
Be love always, there is not enough in this world right now.
