Why Am I Here?

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the difference. You don’t have to do major deeds in life in order to justify your existence. If you’re sad (and it sounds like you’re being hard on yourself), speak with someone. Talk about what’s going on and why you feel that way. Let them help you. Sixteen is way too early to give up. There are other ways to work through what you’re struggling with. Sometimes you just need to ask for help.

… remember my reply to your previous post:

“Okay… Assuming you won’t write music, paint, or cure cancer, what do you like to do? It’s not necessary for everybody on the planet to dramatically change the world. In some way, we can impact it. Your everyday interactions with friends, your accomplishments at work, reaching out to the homeless through church, stuff like that. Maybe you’ll talk somebody through a problem. You don’t need to be mentioned on CNN to be considered a “great” person. Everybody has a reason for being here. I think more people would miss you than you realize.”
