My reason to live is that I’ve been through enough hardship and tough times that I owe it to myself to enjoy the rest of my life with my son and the many wonderful people we have in our lives 💚🌟 while we have had many amazing days times and memories our best days might not have even happened yet 💚 at 42 I don’t think I’ve even reached half way yet 😎💃🌟 things that I enjoy that keep my cup full is fresh air, the beach, essential oils, Journalling, chocolate, connection, a nice cup of tea, music and laughing 💚🌟
My reason is simple. I had the privilege of waking up this morning ,when many didn't . Yes I'm not well and some days feel so ill I feel sorry for myself and wonder how to keep going .I go to bed exhausted and still wake up though ,so it's a privilege,granted to me ,that others wished for but didn't get .
My sons and Jesus
I'm too stubborn to give up
Family & friends
Spending time with friends
It gets better, it's a temporary feeling, just talk & don't be afraid to cry, let it out
