This may not look happy, but hear me out.
I've battled with depression since I was a very little girl around the age of nine or ten.
It got to the point where I figured I wouldn't live too much past high school, so I didn't even try.
I fucked up my chances of getting into college, despite knowing I could have gone to an Ivy League school if I had just applied myself.
Anyway, the Bioshock series is and will forever be one of my favorite gaming series.
Mainly because even with all of the terrible shit happening down in Rapture, if you choose to do a little good and apply yourself and still retain your humanity, you are greatly rewarded.
This quote in particular is important to me because it helped me realize that I was a slave to my depression. I was letting it control me and make decisions for me that in turn made me miss out on what could have been.
So, I decided choosing for myself how I was going to live my life. I choose to make the decisions that I think are frightening and that my conscious tells me I can't do because I constantly prove to myself everyday that I can do /whatever/ I let myself do.
I am in charge of my own life finally, and I won't let anyone, including myself, get in the way of that.
I hope for the best for you, OP. Know that you are never alone in the Great War we call Life, and remember to make your own choices.
