I’ve been feeling down lately. Things in life are hard. I’m safe & grateful I am alive, though! Which is really awesome. There was a time in my life where when things would fall apart, my hope would shatter, too.
But since I’ve chosen to stay, I’ve gotten to know true joy. I’ve gotten to know freedom. I’ve known pain. I’ve known trial. I’ve known laughter. I’ve known love. I’ve known resilience.
And so even in this time of trial, I feel grateful that I am alive. Even in the midst of depression, I am reminded that there will *always* be a light at the end of the tunnel. This doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck. This doesn’t mean I’m not letting myself feel really hard emotions. It just means I know I’ll get through it.
Today is the first day of September- suicide prevention month. I will always be grateful I stayed. I hope you choose to stay. Promise yourself tomorrow. Tomorrow is bright. Tomorrow is worth living for. Stay;
