When you feel that you’ve lost everything, remember that there are people going through worse things than you. You have all your body parts, and you’re healthy, while some people have lost their hands, legs, and even eyes, yet they still find a reason to live.

So if you’re thinking about taking your life, DON’T! Talk to someone about it.

If you don’t want to live for yourself, live for your loved ones!
