depression

[Bubbles5678]

I've had a rough life, I'm a 20 year old woman, and I just feel so lost. I do my daily tasks everyday, but am constantly wondering why I'm even alive. I try and force myself to think about all the positives in life, but I never see a point in living. I see it as, we only live just to die. We can't take our homes, friends, pets, family and such with us when we die, so why do we even need to live?

I read your post your words reminded me of my mom. I pray I can help you feel better about life. Your right you don't get to take any of those things with you when you die. But you do get to see your friends, family, and pets when they pass on as well. If the belief in heaven doesn't help you...then life itself should be your joy.

Life has its storms to make us stronger to help us help others in their struggle. Life is beautiful and full of things to smile about. It's not seeing the positive in life but what you can do with your life that makes it grand. If you are a caring person then you can help others. If you are artistict you can put beauty into a world that is sometimes ugly. If you are more of a nature lover you can try to save forest or animals, or you can explore different places and just find joy in the true beauty of nature in this works.

A sense of wanting to know why we're here is normal, but don't let this take over you. You are special and you are alive for a reason. Some people are made to be stay at home moms. To some that may not seem like that woman effects the world at all, but she effects that child's world everyday. There are collage students out there that wonder what they are living for but they effect somebody every day in some way. In fact everyone does from someone who runs the drive they at Mac Donald's to someone who is in an office everyday.

Everyone is important in this world. We effect people we work with we go to school with, and we truly effect our own families to show that we care means alot. So why are you here and living everyday well that is simple because you are special. God made you to touch someone's life everyday. And by you touching one persons life you touch hundreds of lives out there. You matter you make a huge difference in this world.

Today you touched my life. By giving me a chance to give you advice you made me see the importance of letting people know they matter. So I am going to reach out to family I haven't wrote in awhile. This will bring joy to their lives, and hopefully they will reach out to others. So thank you for helping open my eyes. I pray opened yours to just how much you count in this crazy world we live in. God places each one of us here and it's our choice what we so with the blessing of life that he gave us.

What are going to choose to do with your life? Will you embrace that you effect people everyday and God made you for a purpose? Will you try to find joy in the small things in this life? I pray your answers are yes and that you will choose to make at least one person smile everyday. May god bless you and thanks again for the eye opener.
