When Life Should Be Treasured.

I find myself in a society that reflects chaos and the always pursuing path of the almighty dollar. Finding themselves in an ever deepening hole and beginning to feel that there is no way out. This feeling is felt by many of us, to some degree. Schedules can become populated with errands and chores and deadlines and all sorts of tasks; except time never seems to be scheduled to take care of one's self. Life can feel crushing sometimes, but I have also learned that life can feel as light as air. I seek those moments of happiness, for the other factors in life that bring the opposite are not my most pleasant feelings. But with life, comes emotion, learning, and exploration.

I find myself turning simple days into marvelous adventures. Today I found myself early to my first day of class... And then early again for work. I left work early and ran late to my final class of the evening and ended on a high note. The story of the day I find so wonderful, but I am sure you would prefer not to hear about it all.

I did learn a great lesson for the day... Don't be afraid to be yourself. Do what you want! And give yourself time!!

Survivor

Every 14.6 minutes, someone in the U.S. dies by suicide. Nearly 1,000,000 people attempt suicide every year. There has been a steady increase of suicide since 2000. This is the highest rate in 15 years. The survivors of suicide are left behind. The overwhelming confusion and deep sense of loss will touch each individual differently; but the same question will stir within each of them, "What could I have done to change this?"

Our Purpose:

To raise awareness of suicide statistics, the survivors they leave behind, and bring inspiration to any that have suffered from depression and loss.
