Although it may not seem it at times, life is a beautiful gift that needs to be cherished. Suicide is contemplated when all hope is lost, so you must have the courage to stand up and look for the light in hidden places. It may not be staring you in the face, but there is so much beauty to see in the world if only you can see past the world inside your head. If you take more time to invest in other people you may find that your suicidal thoughtsdwindle. If you suffer with depression, helping others is sometimes the first and greatest step towards helping ourselves.

Look after the life you have, you are lucky to be alive and most likely loved by many.
