Reasons to stay alive

Lora Mathis

The key is in accepting your thoughts, all of them, even the bad ones. Accept thoughts, but don’t become them. Understand for instance, that having a sad thought, even having a continual succession of sad thoughts, is not the same thing as being a sad person. You can walk through a storm and feel the wind but you know you are not the wind.

Hope isn’t about waiting for a hypothetical future. Hope is finding the goodness in the dark and protecting it like a flame.
