Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Maggie, I wanted

Maggie, I wanted to share something I found recently with you.

I wondered if you heard the song called "People Like Us," by Kelly Clarkson. It's a song about how there are so many people out there who think they're alone in the world and that no one understands, but how the one who seems the smallest can come back and show their persecutor just what for. It's a really uplifting anthem, and really shows how, no matter what, there are always people behind you.

Everyone on the CB is here for you, Maggie. You're not a selfish brat, and I truly understand how you feel. Depression is a hard thing to deal with; even I get fits of it sometimes, and it feels like crap. But no matter what, you'll never be alone, no matter how lonely you may feel.

Take a listen to the song and tell me what you think of it. (That goes for everyone else who may read this).

back to the Down to Earth

That song was kind of incredible. Here's the thing: I can see that it's an uplifting song, and I can see that it could help people, but my brain seems to be stuck like this. It really is a good song though, and I'm glad you shared it with me.

I know a song that is like that. It's caled OVERCOMER.

"You're an overcomer,

Stay in the fight till the final round,

You're not going under,

Cuz God is holding you right down,

You might be down for a moment,

Feeling like it's hopeless,

That's when he reminds you,

You're an overcomer."

I bet you don't like that because you're an athiest, but I hope it helps.

I can appreciate that you're trying to make me feel better, but I'd prefer that you guys not talk about religion with me. I don't mind having discussions, but when you just bring it up randomly, it makes me feel like you're trying to convert me or something.

I apologize. I was just feeling awful yesterday because I'm stupid. I got a 95 because I couldn't read my writing, and my show is going terribly, and I'm a wreck. Again, I'm sorry.
