Stach-dsw Contest Winners ---#10
I could have been like other men, bitter and inhumane
But you had taught me, love, never again would I be the same
So I choose to forgive, I choose to love you enough to let you go
I choose to honour the memories and I choose to dwell in them and stay strong
But most importantly, I choose to be happy!!!

Yaaah!!! Dsw is now double digits in age and the tenth edition of the show held on Tuesday on the Stach discord channel. I'm sorry it took so long to bring out this report. I had to wait until I sent the prizes out. Plus I have been working on getting all our winners entries into videos. So as to give those who come across this post a feel of what they missed. It's been quite difficult balancing this and my other duties, and I would have to outsource this...
So if you are creative and can piece together amazing video--reach out to me!!!
Here's a Link to the dtube video I was able to come up with for episode 9. Its the winners entry and it talked about depression.
Depression--A dark Lonely Road
This week I got us rolling with a very simple piece about choosing to be happy, I'm sure you have seen a cutout of it and a link to view the full piece. As it is the introductory piece for this post
Here are cutouts of the entries for the contest, the text doesn't do justice to these entries. You should hear them on voice. Amazing, interesting and highly creative. You can drop by the #stach-dsw tag and find all contents relating to the show.
I have failed myself,
Too many times that I have lost count,
Year in, year out, I make new year resolutions, I set goals which I never manage to achieve.
These goals and resolutions I move from year to year without actualizing them. It gets better, I tell myself
I work so hard without giving myself a break until my system breaks down,
I even hang on to caustic, toxic relationships that cost me my peace and sometimes, my sanity.
I am nowhere near where I want to be, but guess what? I am not relenting, I won't give up on me, I choose to be happy!

Today I choose to be happy
I choose to invest in my passions and find my own joy
I choose to ignore your actions and be my own boy
I choose to loosen the grip you've had on me since
I choose to put on my crown, I'm a king not your prince
I choose to make myself better because I want to
I choose to be who I am not your play tool
I choose to be myself and stand proudly
I choose to please who matters and that's me

Becca died that day, but before death finally came. In a pool of her own blood, through the pain of the slit wrists she smiled and in that moment she got what she wanted, she was happy, and with a smile on her face, she breathes her last.

Mortal men have hurt me with their promises. They have painted a perfect world and deceived me with their kisses. Rejection is my bosom friend, walking me through a familiar territory of loneliness and despair filled with envy and jealousness at those who dare to love, with wistful tears flowing down my cheeks wondering if I am not cut out for a "happy ever after" but I choose to be happy. Better a bride at 40 than a widow at 25.

My dreams were and are big, but backstabbing made hard to bring
I am still writing these words in corner and darkness, but still, I have light of bless
My thoughts are flowing like floods, but still, I want to succeed to fly like birds
No matter my situation is pleasant or crappy, I choose to be happy.

Today, I choose to be happy. I am done trying to live up to the world’s idea of perfection. All I ever wanted was for someone to smile at me, to say a kind word to me, to make me feel like I exist in this world.

The value of cryptos keep depreciating.
Even Steemit, my first love has deserted me
Giving me a chronic heart attack
My blood pressure rises each time I take a look at coinmarketcap...
It may not be painful to you but I staked a huge sum
And every day, I watch my earnings go down the drain.
It's painful though, but yet, I choose to be happy.
