Keep your head held high, you’ll make it!

So I’m new to this and I’m not sure if we are supposed to post helpful and positive things… but the stories on here are so sad and I just thought everyone should hear this, so here goes ….

I myself used to be plagued with dark thoughts of suicide , it’s a time I don’t like reminiscing and I now that I’ve recovered I never want to go back. I didn’t go to counseling , I didn’t have  a bad experience trying to commit the act , in fact I didn’t really tell anybody. I simply just smartened up, I didn’t want my life to be like that and I was determined to change it, so I did.

I’ve learned to except the fact that: Yes somethings in life are painful and it can be full of hurt and disappointment. There are times when you feel so crushed that you just want to give up, even if it seems like the end  It. Can. Get. Better.  It hurt me that I had never had a guy interested in me, had a lot of backstabbing friends and seemed to be alienated by most. Yes I am a girl and my emotions run wild at some things but I understand now that it could have been different. Now that I think about it, the whole lack of relationship thing was for the most part my own fault. I was shy and I had built up a wall around myself. My mistake was wasting time expecting someone to come and tear down the wall.           Only you have the power to change your outlook on life  and you should accept the fact that there will be bumps , some harder than others but you can pull through.

I’m a more positive person today, I know that if I take on life with a smile on my face, people will smile in return.

I read an amazing quote once…

” Life is as simple as you make it to be”

This quote really speaks to me with it’s reality

YOU rule your emotions, You choose what you are going to take and YOU act on it the way YOU choose. If YOU keep your head held high , YOU will make it
