@jillfabulist The point where you almost died and didn't, is the point where things start to change. It is easy to jump from the cliff amd let go of everything that hurts you. It is easy to close the book and run away from a story that seems to be leading to hell, or worse nowhere. Because holding on just does not seem worth it. But if life is easy, then you're doing it wrong. If life has no pain, then it is not real. Feeling pain and hopelessness and negativity is a sign that you still living your life, that you still care.Closing the book, jumping from the cliff and running away from our story might seem like the answer, but it is the answer that Satan wants us to choose. Facing our story is difficult, but if we muster the courage to do so, to continue reading through the pages, we will eventually reach the chapter, where we would just be able to laugh at everything and everyone that tried to kill us, where we find answers to the questions that plagued us, where we finally people who really love us, and make us realize that there was no reason to change after all. The battles that we fight and didn't win, are sometimes more important than the battles we conquer, for these are the battles that leave their mark, that bring change, these are the battles that make a difference.
