Perhaps A Strange Kind of Woot


Recommended Posts

Okay, so I'm not gonna say much. And I'd appreciate it if you didn't ask questions, because it's still a bit hard to talk about, but today I celebrate. Why? Two years ago was when I almost decided to take my own life and didn't. Two years ago to the day. And that was also the day that I found my faith in God.

 

I've been growing ever since then. At first it was mostly recovery (as much as I could from what had happened) but a little more than a year ago the recovery switched wholly into pure personal growth. Today, I am stronger (emotionally, mentally, and spiritually) than I have every been. I would say that my personality is the most developed that it has ever been and I am the most confident that I have ever been in my life. (for one, a year ago at the one year anniversary, I would've never done something like this)

 

So... Woot :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  ;)

 

If anyone ever feels like they want to take their own life and they're here reading this, then I beg you not to. It doesn't fix anything. It is the hottest fires that will forge the strongest steels, and you can come out of the state you're in right now stronger than you could ever imagine. It happened to me and it's happened to some of my friends. Please. Decided to live.

I haven't tried, but there are alternate universes where I wouldn't be here... if things had gone just a little bit wrong.

 

For me, in your woot there is a world of inspiration and courage and beauty and...

 

I have no words, but I want you to know that... Yeah, I guess you know :)
