Live Another Day

You will be okay.

I know you're tired of hearing it. The only thing people seem to say to you is, "It'll get better'. Will it though? It's been a long time since you've actually felt something, actually felt alive. When will it get better? Where is this promise coming from that people seem to pull out of thin air? Do they actually mean it? Do they actually know it? How can they possibly know that it will get better when they've never had to talk themselves into staying one more day?

But it does get better. I know it does because I chose to keep living another day, day after day. I'm alive 8 years after my near suicide attempt. I have amazing people in my life who love me and I have so many dreams and opportunities. I have a boy that I want to marry and future kids that I want to show the world to. I have purpose, I have joy, I have love, I have peace, I have a wonderful life. This isn't to brag, this is to show you that you have so much waiting for you. Live to see the day that you realize, "it's better".

I am not the person I used to be. God saved me from my darkness and I am no longer living in the shadows. I am surrounded by light, I have the light living inside of me. The people in your life DO care about you. The voice inside your head telling you that you don't matter is lying to you. Do not listen to it. Speak up. Tell someone what you're going through. Even if they don't understand, they will want to help and they can help. Let them love you. Let them try to help you. Please stay another day. And then another one after that. And another one after that. And keep on going and you will live a happy life, I can promise you that.

What I never thought could happen to me has come to pass. The promise comes from a loving and good God. Cling to Him and He will bring you through. His word never returns void. Live another day. You will be okay.
