What’s stopping you from wanting to die?

The belief that life is a gift not to be squandered. The times in my life when I have loved and been loved, have felt great joy, and seen the beauty in this world….no matter how fleeting….when measured against the hardship and sorrows I have endured….still give me hope.

Then too, it’s my stubborn nature to carry on…to shoulder my burdens…and walk this world, even if I walk alone.
