Love Is For Everyone (L.I.F.E.).

Well, to those of you who are reading this, good day to you! Well, life's always beating us up, isn't it? But the good thing about it is that you are not alone. No one is. I understand that we all lose people we love, things we appreciate and sometimes, life doesn't even give you lemons to make lemonade. But trust me, you are born for a reason. No matter who you are, where you are, there will always be a place for you, a community where people see you as who you are. Not what they want you to be.

Perhaps you lost a parent, perhaps a friend. Or maybe, your girlfriend left you last week for another guy. And things start to flash through your mind and you think that it's apocalypse. Well, it's not. Let me tell you my story. I am a boy, and a very emotional one. I fall too easily, and hold on too much. I was lied to, betrayed by my own girlfriend, and at one time, suicide was one way out. But I didn't. Because no matter how much you are hurt, no matter how damaged you are, there's a role for you here.

L:love
I: is
F:for
E:everyone

I am a Christian, and no matter of what religion you are, remember that somewhere, someone loves you. Maybe people you loved turned their backs on you, or it could be that what you wished didn't turn out to be. Don't worry. It's going to work out soon enough. Because even when the whole world turned their backs on you, God will still be there for you.

All of us have different lives, and sometimes, we just can't change it. But what you can do is to be the hero of your own story. Life, story. Life is where you started, but you can choose how you end your story. That's how. Well, when you think you can't go on anymore, or you think it's time to end, don't. Why? Because you will never know how strong you can be until being strong is the only option you have.

So, to all of you out there, those heartbroken, those wounded, don't worry. You will be just fine. Because every rain will end, and rainbows will come. Love yourself, and people will love you too. Learn from falls, not cry to them. I was once heartbroken, once torn apart, but today, I have the most wonderful people in my life. I did it. So can you.
