"The point is that I created something that only I understand and whether or not I decide to disclose the meaning of it, that's the beginning of purpose for me. The meaning of purpose for me, is by creating something, if it be by writing lyrics, painting a picture, by expressing yourself through art if it's photography or music or theatre. It doesn't have to be artistic, but if you create something and only you know the meaning of it, that's the beginning of purpose for you. When you're in the room by yourself trying to decide whether to stay alive, you can tell yourself 'I should probably stay alive because I'm the only one who knows the meaning of that thing.'"

These are the genius words of Twenty One Pilots singer Tyler Joseph. He knows what being suicidal feels like; he knows what feeling hopeless feels like; he knows what being on the brink of falling away feels like. He exists, and he wants you to stay alive. |-/

So create something, find a passion, develop it. And most importantly, let it be one of the reasons you are still alive. ♥♥♥
