To This Day

Everyone, please go watch this cause it's amazing:

Now, some of you may be able to relate directly, if you've been bullied in school or elsewhere, some of you may be able to relate indirectly and some may not even be able to relate at all. But no matter what, I think all of you will enjoy watching it for what it is. It's very inspiring in my opinion.

As for myself, I can relate to it indirectly. While I was bullied for a year or two at school, I never viewed it as such. I was one of those kids that didn't give a shit about being bullied and verbally fighting back, which leads to kids stopping to bully you (or at least it did for me). I'm not the most emotional guy, but I can see how shit like that could potentially weigh people down.
I can relate to it all in a way different and more abstract way, that being the natural need to prove myself. To make something out of myself - to be someone. Just to shut up the people that thought I wouldn't amount to shit.. and in that sense, it's rather inspiring to me on a personal level.

before someone comes in and says it, yes, I know "it's old". Still, it's a cool video and some people here may have not seen it.

i found the video to be overly melodramatic and annoying. i dunno, i don't suffer from depression or anxiety or anything like that so i don't really relate to it.

I've suffered from depression and intense violent physical attacks by groups of kids with weapons before. Beyond bullying. Really bad shit.

And I completely agree with you. Vid is stupid.

EDIT: Not to say I don't appreciate the share, Psi!

You weren't ridiculed or picked on in school or a public setting/atmosphere?

getting picked on and depression/anxiety are two different things

If you were replying to me. I was implying that the depression was a result of being picked on.
