I am sorry you are having a difficult time. I understand, truly I do. But, somewhere, we all keep reachng even if it is a small reach--it is a reach none the less. We get up every morning and go through yet another day of agony because we are survivors and that is what we do best. We put on our mask and covers and whatever it takes to face this world, because somewhere we keep hoping that somehow if we take one more step--the load somehow will get easier.

Each day we make it, is another day that they do not win. For so many of us, they have had the first blow to us and we fight to not let those that thought they ruined us win. Everyday, we make it is another day in their face. Sometimes, days are so long. The minutes seem to never move.

We have to live one second, one moment at a time, never taking one of those moments for granted. But we are still here, we are still fighting--we are still survivors. Sometimes I want to give up. I want to let go and rest. To find somewhere safe and calm.

Then I take the step to reach out here where it is safe and someone does care. And I find that little strength inside that dares to take a chance to even say I am here and I need to know someone is out there. Sometimes, it is in just telling someone you understand that even a small connection comes, and it is enough to reach one more time--one more day.

I hear you finestitcher, and I am listening. I know that feeling of wanting it all to stop. Of wanting all the hurt to go away. I know how hard it is to get up and keep going. I know the sleepless nights and neverending pain. But I also know the love of friends here at PC.

I know that even in the midst of hurting, I can say I understand and am there for others. I feel the stength at times of others and it gives me hope and a small connection and desire to take one more step--however small it may be but a step none the less. I do care and I send you what strength I can.

Keep reaching and posting. Sometimes it is in the words "I care" that one more step is possible for us. I learned to survive because I had to--I want to learn to live because it is time. Hang on dear, and keep reaching--one day, one post at a time.
