Update On My Life

About a week ago, I tried to kill myself.  I was depressed about being a failure in life, and I thought I didn’t want to live anymore.  I was unemployed for over a year, couldn’t find a job, was soon to be homeless, and I eventually just gave up on life.  But through my 1st attempted suicide, I realized something….I realized a future of struggling, is better than no future at all.  Sure things can be hard at times, and even unbearable, but things CAN get better, and you have MANY chances to become happy.  It took me almost killing myself to realize that.  Now there are some things in life that’s out of your control, but there’s also a lot of things that you CAN control.  For me, it was picking myself back up, and getting back out into the real world.  No more excuses, no more video games, no more lost hope, no more being a bum…..I filled out 50+ applications in the past 4 days, and I finally got a job interview; something I once thought was impossible given my criminal background, and employment history.  Now, I don’t have the job yet, and I may not even get it, but it’s progress.  Eventually I WILL obtain a job, and I WILL get myself out of this darkness.  There’s no point in being alive, if you’re not living, and in order to live, you need to strive for the changes you want.  If anyone would like to make a friend, then I’ll be happy to help.  Email: dsuccessstory@yahoo.com
