The Snowball Effect

I apologise. This is a lame one.

The snowball effect. It happens with lies, it happens with depression, it happens with problems, it happens with snowballs.

When you lie you soon find yourself coming up with lies to cover your lies... then explanations behind the lies... then stories to back up the explanations behind the lies... then you let pieces of the truth slip and you need a lie for that too. Oy...

When you're feeling depressed you're just not in the mood to receive anything in a good way. What might have just been spilt coffee, makes your life, in that moment totally suck. Anything really... it all seems to be bordering on the edge between holding on and losing control. So you aren't as nice, so people don't like you, so you have fewer friends, which makes you more sad, which makes you no fun to be around, which makes you lonely. Oy...

When you have a certain problem you may think to just wait it out. "I'll just give it time." "We'll see." Not as many situations do best with this decision in reality. So you put off your school work because it's really really hard to keep up, so you get stressed at the last minute, so you don't get along with as many people, so you lose contact, so you don't see them, so... you're lonely now. Or even just the effect that a bad morning will have on you. Wake up late, so your breakfast gets skipped, so you're hungry, therefore irritable, you're late to work, so you feel guilty or get in an argument with a coworker. lol... it only happens when the rest of the morning is determined to suck.

When you make a snowball.... If anyone would like me to specifically explain this I will. But I think you got it.
