Day Twenty Six of Challenge

25 Jul

Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?

I wish I could say “absolutely not,” but I can’t. Because…well, if I did, then I’d be lying. When I feel like I’m trapped and alone and there’s no way out, I feel like it’s easier to just give up, although I’d never let it get to that point. But I’ve thought about it. I’ve thought about it several times over the years, through my roughest of rough times, and the pain that has carried over from that time and through now. I know that life can be hard, and it can be brutal, but there’s something there in life that makes it worth living, and that I just need to find it and keep my eyes on it, determined to reach it and feel the relief that a happy place will bring me. I do have the one thing that I know once I have, I’ll feel new and happy and complete. And that day will be the best day of my life, until then I have surrounded myself  with work that makes me feel great and motivated and creative.
