Oh Depression, I knew I couldn't avoid you for long

Greetings Everyone, it's been a long time since I've had the chance to make a post or even continue to understand the hive ecosystem. I want to begin my story by first wishing everyone a happy new month and greater things to come this month.

It all begun one treacherous day which seemed to be the worst day of my life. I was chilling at my place with some of my home boys then I escorted them home. On my way back around 9pm, I was jumped by some robbers around 2 in number who threatened me with a cutlass and a knife, I was about to make a run for it when the one holding the cutlass swung it at me to show that they definitely weren't joking. I was forced to relinquish my phone and my wallet to them.

Sad and disappointed, I decided to go to my favorite person in the school environment (my girlfriend). On a normal day I would call before visiting her but since I was down and without a phone I decided to stop by her place so she would comfort me but on getting there I saw what my friends had been warning me about happen right before my eyes. I knocked a couple of times but no one was answering so I decided to take a peak through the window and low and behold a guy was untop my own girlfriend and they were doing vile things. At that moment, my whole world had torn apart especially as I figured out that the person she was cheating with was a close friend of mine.

"They possibly can't be any explanation for this, nothing can change what I just saw" I said to myself momentarily before stepping away from the window and going back home. Without a smartphone to keep me company and no one to talk to so I went home sad and depressed. I am a phone addict and without my phone, I was bored and started overthinking and we all know how overthinking works, you start thinking of things that aren't necessarily meant to bother you.

Things like how I could have escaped from the armed robbers started emerging others things like confronting my supposed girlfriend and scolding her or the fact that no one is to be trusted if a friend can do that to me. I was able to sleep that night but the next morning, I ran to someone I considered as more than a bro to get my feelings and experiences across and he was there for me. He suggested ways I could get rid of it then he told me about hive and how he loved the platform saying it's the best he's ever used. He told me about how he is learning and growing with the platform and how I should join him and resume hiving so I'm back now. I have gotten a new device now and I am back and better than ever. I am confident hive can fill up this void in my heart since a friend (@theawesononso) recommended it to me.

I am here to learn and to share with this great platform
