I have the choice whether I want to keep fighting or whether I want to curl up and let it take control.
I have the power to choose to continue to fight the darkness or I can choose to let the darkness consume me.
We each hold the power,a very strong power at that,to live or die,or to sink lower and lower.. I'm lost on my journey right now-not quite sure which path to take..
I know that I want to live,I'm sure I do.. I just now need to find the strength to do so..
Was just listening to this song 'Steer' by Missy Higgins,thought it was very appropriate to what I'm thinking about.. I shall leave you with the lyrics..
Take care,

Jo xoox

"Steer"-Missy Higgins

Feel it falling off like clothing
Taste it rolling on your tongue
See the lights above you glowing
Oh and breathe them deep into your lungs

It was always simple, not hidden hard
You've been pulling at the strings playing puppeteer for kings
And you've had enough



So hold this feeling like a newborn
Of freedom surging through your veins
You have opened up a new door
So bring on the wind, fire and rain

It was always simple, not hidden hard
You've been played at a game called remembering your name
And you stuffed it up

But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know that you control where you go
You can steer

'Cos you've been listening for answers
But the city screams and all your dreams go unheard

Hey Jo

You are correct it is a choice. It is good that you can recognise that you want to live. Do you know something...we all want to live. Even when we feel suicidal - we still hang on....why? Cos, deep down we want to live. It is natural to want to live. Life is for living.

Happiness does not normally just happen. Happy people put a lot of effort into their lives and being happy - it is a process of creation.

The starting point is realising that your life matters to you - that YOU matter to YOURSELF - and then developing trust and love for yourself within - then it will become easier and easier to find the strength to live.

Sending you love, self-belief, self-trust, self-empowerment and hope.
