I know this is a difficult subject for most people to talk about but I want to reach out and hopefully inspire anyone who knows how this feels. I know there are a few of you who are or have gone through similar things.
It’s coming up to the end of the year and I’ve had my share of days that are hard. There have been days when I wanted to quit. But I didn’t.
I have my blessings, too, of course. There are things that I just can’t leave behind. My family, my friends, life itself.
But sometimes you don’t see what you do have, you only focus on what you’re not and don’t have that seemingly others take for granted.
On these days, the only thing that’s got me through is this...
Life is hard, always has been, it drives a hard bargain. But it’s all I’ve got. For all I know I could plunge that knife into my chest and never suffer again. But to do that would be cheating myself because I may never again feel anything. If I live things may or may not get better, but if I kill myself they definitely never will.
So if you’re going through this, know that I’m your compadre because I’ve been there too. I survived because I might as well. Sometimes that’s the only chance you’ve got. The pain will go away or at least lessen eventually, death will not.
And if you’re still not convinced, here’s a great big hug 🤗
