Something inspirational:

"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."

  1. I've been in this position so long that I think I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have this kind of stress to deal with.

    It seems like for the majority of my life, I've been fighting to hold on. I'm just hoping and praying that at some point in my life I won't feel like I'm just holding on!

    1. May be it's time to change all of that so you don't feel like you're just holding on.

      It doesn't matter what we deal with, I believe that whatever we deal with and we all have something, we must never give up at dealing with those things, because to give up means we give up on life, something I feel that needs to be embraced.

    1. I agree and been there myself, still am to some degree. I do believe the tide will change and that time is what is needed and the courage to believe it will.
