I've been wrestling with this recently. What I'm beginning to learn every now and then is that I was given life for a reason. Is it to be tortured? Honestly, although many times it would feel as such, I highly doubt it. Sometimes the pain that we feel (as excrutiating as it may seem) can be the most powerful lessons in life and/or lead to most happy and fulfilling moments down the road. The fact that some of us gets beat down so much can actually mold us into emotionally and mentally...and for some...spiritually stronger individuals in the future. There are things that I'm able to witstand now that i sure as heck couldn't in the past and that's exclusively due to going through it all back then. Now I'm able to let those types of situations fly by me like a tiny nitpick rather than before when they were much more impactful.

I believe it's a matter of changing your perspective on your situation and looking at things in a way of realizing how one thing connects the other in your life. I used to HATE that phrase "One day, you're gonna look back at this and laugh" whenever someone would toss that at me during a highly negative moment in my life. However, now I'm starting to see the deeper meaning behind it. Trust me, you're NOT better off dead. Even on your worst day when it starts feeling like all hell is breaking loose and the world doesn't seem to want to throw a bone at your corner, life is still worth pushing forward.

Now....I say this, but like I said, I too have been wrestling with that thought (especially during the past few months). What I've been doing as a counter to those thoughts is seeing the positives in my life (even the ones that I might be reaching a little to bring them to light) and figuring out how I can elevate them even further. Also, figuring out how I can help the ones around me with their issues if I can. Sometimes the world hardens us as soldiers to help others through tough times. That's another way you can look at your situation.

Cheers, and I pray that you're able to push through even the roughest of seas moving forward.

One thing I firmly believe is: Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes bad things happen to make good things happen.

I also believe that one day I will make it into what I really want to do with myself.

one thing I firmly believe is that music is a powerful thing. If you fill your head with music that will tear you apart, that's what is going to happen, if you fill your head with music that will change your mindset, that's where the miracles start to happen.
