Hello

I've heard it said that a friendly word can keep somebody from suicide. An action of a friend, who might not have even known about your problem.

I think we all sometimes reach that point where we just want to give up and give in. Just throw our hands in the air and say, "I'm done. I'm leaving this place, right now!"

But, I'm sure that where you are sitting right now, you have dreams. We all do. We have goals. Things we'd like to see, things we'd like to have, and things we'd like to do. And people we care about.

I've come to the point where I wanted to give up. Just die already and get it over with; what am I living for? I had a friend then, who was willing to check in, cheer me up, and be my cheerleader.

So, you don't have a friend like that. It's okay. I can be that friend.

Thing is, it's hard to kill yourself when you want to be there for somebody else. When you want to see their dreams come true. When you want to build memories with them.

If you find that your own dreams aren't motivating you to keep on living, turn to your family and friends. Look to them; there must be at least one person who you'd love to see get somewhere in life, before you die.

Look to them, and imagine what it might be like if you die now. Let's just say you die, and you're gone for good. Will you see them chase their dreams? Live their dreams? Become somebody that you would have been proud of to know?

There is a time in our lives when we feel like we don't even have the ability to be there for others; not even speaking about holding on for ourselves...But sometimes you are at your strongest, when you are at your weakest. You are able to be a greater help for others, just because you don't know how to help yourself. Somebody out there needs you to be there for them. So, when life gets tough, remember that there's somebody who needs you to help them. If you can't live for yourself, then, live for them. Live to help them become better people; but don't live your life for nothing. Don't die for nothing. Die, having served your purpose.

You feel like giving up, yes? But don't. It's not much of a consolation, but do you know how much you can achieve by just persevering? By keeping on the path of life, you can make your dreams come true. You can be a difference. You can be the next Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Martin Luther King...the next genius! The next sensation!

Yes, fame isn't always worth living for. But those famous people meant and still means something to others out there. Won't you just try and live, so you could also be an example of purpose and meaning to others?
