Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
I hope you all are ok. I hope you all live till you are at least 80. Because I just talked my friend off the ledge. Suicide is never the answer no matter how much you wish you were dead. Even though it sounds like bull, it does get better, it gets so much better. You don't need to die to escape, you just need to find yourself. Think about the one person or people you would never want to leave behind. Set a goal, make yourself a reason why you can't leave. Don't let yourself be blinded by a superficial sense of helplessness, ending not only your life, but other people's happiness in your smile, in your little laugh, in every way you exist. You aren't ugly, you aren't evil, you aren't fake, you aren't invalid, and you aren't a disappointment. You are a human being, and you have a right to be happy, a right to live how you want, a right to love who you want, and a right to be there. Don't give up soldier, I'm counting on you.
Wishing can be a double edged sword. You know all the stories of be careful what you wish for, but wishes can also be wonderful. Wishing means nothing to loose, but you can loose hope if you wish too long and too hard. Almost every wish is attainable if you try hard enough, so do that thing, kiss that person, and do your best at the life you were born into. Don't just wish, wish with hope, hope for the best, and do the best you can.
Life is like modeling clay. You can shape it however you want, but with limitations. Clay cannot fly, so we put it on a string. It cannot hover off the table, so we stack it higher. Broken pieces cannot be put back on after baking, so we must score it beforehand. In the end, life is what we make it. Not others, us. Don't let someone else mold your life for you.
Life doesn't stop, time cannot be still, yet you can get tired. Sleep is not for the weak, and being weak doesn't mean you aren't strong. You're only human, so don't stop your life, don't wonder if you could reverse time to change something, just sleep, and be ready for the next day's challenges.
Seeing is not always believing. You can't see hope, but you can believe in it. You can't see love, but you can feel it. You can't see happiness, but it will come to you eventually.
One way to live is happy. Love yourself and others around you. Nothing is forever, not even the darkness.
