Being the voice for the voiceless

"And why across the world there’s a woman just like me, with the same abilities and the same desires, same work ethic and love for her family, who would most likely make better films, and better speeches — only she sits in a refugee camp.

She has no voice.
She worries about what her children will eat, how to keep them safe, and if they’ll ever be allowed to return home"
This was by Angelina Jolie ,after winning Humanitarian Award in 2013 about her choice of being the voice for the voiceless. Now, this is not about Angelina Jolie or refugees. This is about "being the voice for the voiceless". Couple of days before i posted a status in Facebook about my depression with #IKilledSuicide 
My intention is to be the voice for the voiceless people who had similar experience but choose not to share about it. What makes them to be voiceless? They afraid of being judged,being criticised by society for not being strong enough in facing challenges.
What makes a society? Isn't you and me?
How many of us heard about suicide cases in daily life.There must be atleast one person from our relatives,friends,collegue, school/collegemate have commited suicide.
Can we deny the fact or statistics?
From someone who prefer to keep my life very private i choose to share about my depression very openly for I killed suicide page just to help the voiceless people who is still struggling.

The post itself was for a good cause to share stories of personal experiences to help and prevent suicide and it is for Facebook page called  I killed suicide. The hashtag itself explained that i killed suicide thoughts.
When people share about their stress, anxiety or problems we see them as vulnerable, pathetic and weak person. 
The moment you making fun of this,there is someone out might be taking their last breath,attempting suicide or thinking about taking their life.That someone can be your best friend,brother,sister,family mother,father or just someone you met 10 minutes ago.

You going to say no, you know them better? They are fine. NO ! Dont be very sure about it. You and me belongs to the same ignorant and selfish society.We are busy running after career,money and family. We care about likes in social media more than wellbeing of person next to us. It is not wrong to be so. I have been there i have done that.. But not anymore.. Spread love and kindness.. The smallest act of kindness brings big impact. 

I thank everyone who send positive messages,encouraged me and also those apologizing for not being there for me. Very few asked me, "How are you now?" Thank you for being human enough.End of the day that is all we need.
Be kind,say positive things,be positive,love and care everyone.

What I Thought My Problem Was… vs What Was Actually Holding Me Back

I used to think I just wasn’t motivated enough. I told myself things like: – “I’m not consistent.” – “I don’t have time.” – “I keep procrast...
