What is the meaning of life?Why am I here? This is something we all ask ourselves and it is a matter of searching deep within yourself and finding the good that is there,finding that tiny glimmer of Hope and Strength and building off of it.Every life has a purpose,it is just a matter of giving yourself a chance to live your life,in order to discover this.There is never no Hope.There is always Hope for things to get better.Always hope for a brighter day.Don't give up and give those better times have a chance to come.Tell yourself everyday that you are a someone and worth something.... because you ARE.You are a very special person,everyone is,and if you give yourself a chance you will come to see this as well.And remember somebody out there loves you,you are never completely without love.:-)

Life can be hard and painful at times and it just doesn't seem worth it anymore.You begin to question why you are even here,and wonder what is the use in even trying anymore.
When you can't understand why you must continue to live a life full of pain and torment.The reason we continue to live is simple though..... things will get better in time and no matter how hopeless you feel... no matter how pointless life may seem .... EVERY life has a point to it, and we all have obstacles to overcome.Life is worth living,without the hurt and pain we wouldn't grow as people, wouldn't be where we are today

LIfe is full of ups and downs, and we must all face many problems as we travel down life's path. Sometimes things can get to be a little too much, and we can begin to believe that there is no hope for us. It can seem like everything in life is pointless and wonder why .. what is the point in even trying anymore...

.Everyone has days when things seem like they are never going to change.This is a normal reaction to all the obstacles life puts in our way when it comes to seeking happiness.And when things seem hopeless,sometimes our minds tend to stray to thoughts of, "I'm better off dead." Or, "why am I even here when things will never change.", and so forth,But you are not better off dead.. you are a special person who's life just happens to be in turmoil.It's a matter of not allowing it to destroy you,and doing all you can to rise above it to become the person you are meant to be.You are a someone .. no matter what happens,you are a person with hopes, dreams and rights as much as the next person.And things will change.. you just have to give them time.And you have to be willing to change as well.You can't just say "I wish things would change" and things will change just like that.You have to summon up all your inner strength,maybe find some that you didn't know you possessed and use it to your advantage.And sometimes we are faced with situations that are beyond our control, but we can then decide whether to fight back against them,and not let them destroy us,or we can give in and allow life's trials to win.You have to believe that you can do it,believe in yourself,and things will slowly look up.

If however you are feeling completely like there is no point and are at a place where your about to give up,please call someone for help.. a friend,a family member,or a crisis line .. seek the help that you need and give yourself that chance to discover that things can and will get better if you only give it time.Nothing in life is ever hopeless.Never forget that.And never forget that you are a special someone that someone loves.EVERYONE is loved by someone.. whether it be the love of a parent or a family member,the love of a friend or your partner.

Never forget who you are.... And don't be afraid to seek out help.Talk about your problems before its too late

Never give up,and never give in.Just be who you are and life will eventually look up .. I promise.
