Let me tell you a story

I thought that life was meaningless but I was wrong. I was 13 years old when I thought that everyone is better off without me in their life. It was at that time I was fighting depression everyday and felt like a burden to everyone I loved.It even got worse when I was diagnosed with a heart disease. Somehow, all of my dreams and goals were shattered instantly. Everyone treated me like a fragile material that can easily break to the point it felt diminishing and humiliating. With that I asked myself what’s the point of living like this?

As days and months passed by, that kind of question amplified in my head and started to think about ways to take the easy way out. But the moment I tried to act on it, the memories of my loved will flash on my eyes then my feet was shaking and cried. In that moment I realized that i need help. Later on, I told one of my teachers what I felt and guided me to become better through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The process wasn’t easy but i cast all of my pains through Him.

7 years passed, and I am still fighting with my new found purpose. Through those times I realized that I wanted to help people so that they won’t go through what I went through. I wanted to inspire and influence people to stand up and fight for their lives and their loved ones as well for life is something more than just a simulation but it is a battle of faith, principle and love. My name is Depzel C. Fombuena, 20 years old, and this is my story.
