Its not so much a memory as a realisation that you have to suffer the bad to learn how to appreciate the good. When you are at your darkest hour you should be happy in the knowledge that things can only get better. Have a little more faith in yourself and you will soon learn to cope with lifes lows and even anticipate them, then you can deal with them and move on.x

I have had a lot of dark bleak moments. One was being in a college dorm room and being hungry without any food. It was funny because I was glad to be there, but hungry and broke. I was so alone. I can think about that and it steadies me. I suppose because I know that I gave it all that I had despite my circumstances. I mean, it was like... I knew that if I didn't succeed it wasn't because I wasn't trying. Few would have went through the humiliation that I have went through in trying to get my degree. It hurts when your hungry.

Thoughts: that God never gives us anything we are unable to bear (and then I remember I haven't prayed in quite a while and I do that); that after storm there is always a sunshine and any terrible situation has an end; that usually these situations are not that terrible, but it is the perspective that distorts them (and I try to place myself out of them and evaluate 'objectively', which sometimes even works).
Memories: I remember there is a God who loves me (see above); I remember there's a world out there and I go for a walk in a park, and/or call/write to friends; I remember how I got out of other really bad situations.
Images: they are called "holy icons".

Knowing I have a girl who loves me and the thought of how I will feel when my neice is born in October - I will be an Auntie for the first time and I can't wait!

I vividly remember it was my mother's face. I lived far away from my family at that time then and it was her smile, tender and loving, made me realize that nothing could defeat me if I only keep on hoping.

Cliche, but true - myself lying on a tropical island with balmy breezes gently blowing over me and my Corona.
