When something bad or sad happens in my life, I tend to be depressed. I felt like the world is conniving against me. My body tends to be weak and I always sleep and eat (literally eat a lot and sleep a lot!).

But as days passes by, I will always try to think ways on how I can get out of my depressing state. I try to think and assist why these things have happened to me or to us (as a family or as a couple) and I try to dissect what good things can come out of the situation. This is my life’s coping mechanism – seeing the good side of it all because I always believe that life is like a coin, you have two sides – the good and the bad.

So when some things don’t come the way exactly I would have wanted or preferred, I always try to learn from these so when I come out of the situation, I am not a loser at all. I am a winner because I have learned my lesson and I am determined not to do it again. Well, there are times I commit a mistake more than once or get in the same situation but since I am not a perfect person, the important thing is I always go out of it smarter than I used to be and successful.

In short, I am still thankful of all the bad things that happened in my life. Though there are many terrible situations that it almost drove me insane but I was able to come out victorious! Thank God for that! His guidance and wisdom is so compelling in my life and I pray it will be until my last breath!! I could have not done it myself. God is the epitome of it all!
