Thank you so much for the support! This series is an attempt to disguise some of my personal thoughts and questions under Xenon's wisdom!! :)

As far as my friend is considered, I believe it all started when she moved back after university. She struggled for years to find a job in the city where we studied, but unfortunately she didn't make it and had to stay in the little town we grew up. For a few years she even gave up dancing (it was a twice-a-week hobby that she absolutely loved). If you put a few unsuccessful relationships she had in the past, some light bullying during school years and teenage insecurities she never managed to overcome (that's what I see at least), this girl came to wither day by day.
She happens to get sick easily too, a few minor gynecological problems and some vitamin deficiencies surely have their share on her bad mood. Sometimes I don't know if she attracts all these unfortunate events with her negativity or the whole situation just weakens her immune system.

Intentional activities? She goes to the gym a few days a week, BUT, she has low blood pressure because of a heart condition she has had ever since she was a child and she gets tired easily. She goes out with with friends or shopping every once in a while. I even tried to talk her into having a steemit account and write about archaeology (that's what she studied), she was NEGATIVE and still is!

She realises that what she's doing to herself is bad, but she keeps to her chains and doen't let go. It is just sad. I hope she gets to feel satisfied with her life at some point and be grateful for the good things she already has without thinking of the unfair things that have happened to her at the same time!

Thank you very much for your reply! May you have a wonderful weekend! :D
