The simple things in life.

I have always enjoyed the smaller things in life; driving somewhere on a soft sunny day, leaning down to pet a stray cat, going shopping with my family, eating with my family at a restaurant, calling my friends and talking about stuff we like, or even just sitting on my front porch listening to music. The little things that remind me to relax and take things one step at a time. I know it can seem impossible at times, especially with the political side of things. But simple things aren't always about ignoring what's around you; you can volunteer at an animal shelter, you can take a walk and donate to a charity, you can donate to your local food bank, you can find a homeless individual and lend them a helping hand, you can even just look at someone and give them a reassuring smile.

You don't have to do big things in life to make an impact, you just need to put effort and support into your beliefs. As the old saying goes; "A little goes a long way." What seems like a small deed to you can be monumental to someone else. You never know what someone is going through; sometimes some people just need a little reassurance. You can give them that reassurance if you really want to, maybe it can make you feel better as well.

In a time like this, life may seem hopeless and maybe even worthless. But that is absolutely not the case. You, the person reading this, wherever you may be, you matter. Even if it may not seem that way, you are here for a reason. Now, I can't tell you what that reason is, that is for you to figure out. Self-discovery is the first step to finding out your reason to live, and it's not too late to figure yourself out! The average human being lives up to 87-99 years, so take that time to slowly discover yourself. With enough ambition and power of will, you can achieve amazing things. But life is like a staircase, sometimes you fall down a few steps and need to hold onto guardrails. There's no shame in it, asking for help is completely normal.

International suicide hotlines here is a list of emergency hotlines for almost every country, don't be ashamed of calling one of these hotlines and asking for help. Like I said, life is like a staircase, sometimes the guardrails are needed, and they are there for a reason.
