Could This be the Cause of Your Depression

Let's start with a simple question, one I am sure you can answer.

Are you ever shocked about the amount of screen time you average ever day?

It is crazy the amount of time we can spend just staring at a screen.

Where might I be going with this? let me tell you.

I have a hunch that social media has contributed to the depression epidemic that has swept over the whole world in the last decade. Before you start setting your fingers to typing out a hateful comment, allow me to explain.

Have you ever scrolled through social media and compared yourself to others? While watching someone else's life play out on youtube, have you ever wished your life was as good as theirs?

Comparing yourself to others is one of the causes of depression.

When you are spending this time alone on your phone, you are only thinking about yourself, this constant focus on you is not healthy, the more you think about things that are wrong with you, the worse you will feel.

Don't get me wrong, I love social media, I have been able to stay in contact with those I love, as well as build my brand, but media can be addicting, and one must learn, to consume it in moderation.

I constantly battle with the false notion that because of my visual impairment, I have to make up for the difference, that I am less then others because I cannot see as they do. I tell myself that I am only worth it that

Women of God

Women of God What makes a woman powerful? Many have asked this question, and there have been a spectrum of answers. One might say her beauty, or determination. Another might respond that it is her confidence. These are all great attributes, however, they are all fleeting if the woman does not have this one single characteristic. This quality is not obtained through her looks, or the people she comes into contact with. It is something few women have, but something that everyone can feel, it shines like a light in the darkness. It can lift up these qualities, and make them eternal. This power is her identity, the sureness of herself, not through her achievements, but through a person who knows of her true value, a person that suffered every pain just for this single woman. This person is Christ. Christ gives us true confidence, love and virtue, because he sees us as we truly are. He removes all the doubts in our minds, the sufferings of the soul that plague us to our core, he
