If you are desperate, perhaps wondering if life is worth living or even contemplating ending yours, there are a few things I would like you to know:
- You are more loved and treasured than you probably realize.
- Your voice is your most powerful weapon. Let someone know about your experience.
- You have abilities and talents you are yet to discover.
- Your life is a novel worth writing.
- If you are still breathing you have the capacity to love.
- Even if you have encountered rejection and faced failure for most of your life you still have the capacity to forgive and to love. Both capacities come with the human package.
- There are people who will listen if you let them know you want to talk.
- You have probably already faced more demanding challenges so you do have the resources to face this one.
You are correct if you respond with, “He doesn’t know me” or “he’s thousands of miles away.” Being far removed does not mean that I do not care. And, I am not the only one who cares. Please, let these simple thoughts seep into your being and perhaps become stepping-stones for you to find hope.
