Thankful

"Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone..."

Things worked a bit opposite for me. I tried to get rid of everything, and then I figured out how much I had.

When you're down at the bottom of the hole, you truly feel like there's no way out. You're convinced that your despair is eternal, impossible to shake. But it's not.

I wish I could grab hold of all the desperate, hopeless people in the world and let them know just how temporary their situations are. You can't see the forest through the trees, as they say... but that doesn't mean it isn't out there.

I am thankful that I had the opportunity to survive my desperation, make it through my hopelessness. I never could have imagined a life as rich as the one I have now.
