I have. I admit, it's pretty rough. Sometimes it seems like the cards are stacked against you and there nothing you can do to escape your fate. Like your life is just supposed to suck, and then you become a statistic somewhere. You've either committed suicide or murder or theft or something else horrible to escape the raw deal that is your life. But I want you to know...and really hear what I'm telling you...this, too, shall pass.
I was abused by my father until I bled (even on holidays). That moment has passed and I use it as a stepping stone instead of a crutch. It made me more aware of how I can help others.
I was molested by a close family friend. That moment has passed and I have grown as an individual because of it. I have literally saved lives because of that horrible event.
My heart has been broken more than I care to say. Those moments are gone and my heart is still here. My heart's a muscle, not a bone. I can exercise it and strain it, but not break it.
I have seen horrors and I'm sure you've seen your share, but you have within you the power to grow, change, and resolve to be bigger than your life. My vicious circle would've had me dead at 17 of suicide, dead at 23 from drug overdose, or incarcerated at 27 for a laundry list of crimes. I'm 30, happily married, and the father of a beautiful son. Take some time for yourself, climb a mountain, jump out of a plane, do something you thought was impossible. It will revitalize your spirit more than any energy drink will. And if you can't bring yourself to that point yet, just remember...the bad times, the hurtful memories, they too shall pass. Good luck, I hope this helps.
