I’ve Been Looking For Something Uplifting To Post For A While And This Might Just Be An Answer To My

I’ve been looking for something uplifting to post for a while and this might just be an answer to my prayers. I just wanted to say that feeling like you want to die and not loving yourself enough to live can be hard. Each and every bad thought weighs you down and you feel like it’s the end of the rope. I would like to say, it is not. There is a way of hope and it’s waiting for you. All you have to do is choose it. This life is based on the choices that we make. Some are good and some are not so good, but it’s all up to you. It’s a choice to be happy or at least try to be. When those bad thoughts come around, please think of all the blessings in your life. The blessings like seeing another good day or even as small is finding something that you were looking for the day before. You are never alone and you are most definitely loved and are cherished by someone out there. If you ever and I mean ever need anyone to think about , I am here to talk. 

 I somewhat know what it feels like to feel like ending my life. I can say that it was a scary time in my life and I wasn’t sure if I could do it. I kind of wanted to though because I wanted all the bad thoughts to stop. I wanted what I thought was judgement from others to stop and wanted to be free. You know what got me through it though? I realized that I had TO HAVE HOPE and that there were people, even if it was just one person that loved me.  I finally told the person that I was living with at the time and she urged me to call my church leaders wife. I did and it amazed that she sounded like she was about to cry. She told me how much she loved me and how much I meant to her. It was then that I realized that there are people who would miss me and who still love me no matter what I did wrong or messed up on. I can testify to you that there is someone out there who would miss you if were to chose to take your own life. Your parents, church leaders, or even your little brother and sister or older brother and sister. Christ needs you and loves you. We need need you, who ever that may be and love you. You have beautiful, unique characteristics and talents that make you YOU. Don’t waste them by killing yourself. You are special and are a child of God. He loves you and I can testify of it. If he didn’t, then he wouldn’t have sent the Savior to go through what he did, for you to come back and be better. 

If you need even more help, go to www.comeuntochrist.org or www.churchofjesuschrist.org . There are some good upliftment there. I love you! You are amazing! -S
