Why depression?

 Well I know a lot of depressed people are misunderstood or people just do not understand what depression is or what people actually go through. I chose to write about depression I know how hard it is to be in a place filled with darkness feeling like there is no light and there will never be light. Writing about it and painting a picture in peoples minds of how depression looks like may try to make others understand or be more woke to matters like this, who knows maybe it will even save a life. the crazy thing is that people just start talking about depression when a life has been lost and that is when its too late and nothing can be done to bring back that life.

Some people get depressed but others do not so why? There isn't just one reason as to why some gets depressed, sometimes its  can be biological or genetically passed down to someone or the imbalance of hormones. Some its the environment they are surrounded by including social and family problems we face .

GREAT GREEK GODS AND GODDESSES.

In this blog i will be taking you centuries back,back to the greek days to the days of the great greek gods.Not many people believe in their exsistence but their stories will surely give you a great intrest. Greek methology is based on the great greek Gods and Goddesses like Zeus,Persidon,Athena and our wellknown Cupid. Many of these Gods are very misunderstood,some are seen as good but are actully bad and vise versa and we will definetly get into that one by starting with a few stories. Back in the days presidents were called Gods, these are supernatural beings people back in those days woshiped them and through that they are blessed with gifts of riches like fruits,water,rain and gold. not many people belive in greek methology because there is not much proof of them existing except for sculptures of the great Gods and stories of the greek Gods and Goddesses that have been passed on from one generation to the next.
